Change Vs Stability

This post takes inspiration from here


Stability is an antonym to Change. or is dat so..??
Change is synonymous to Growth, and Growth almost signifies Stability (and that can be appliable to both Individual and Business Context).

SO, the conclusion is change is Stability and both are equally important till the time there is a degree of congruence between the TWO.
We change constantly in our life, sometimes for good and sometimes for worse (..if your can understand the context). We need to stablize (that accounts for a change..ain't it??) in times when we are going down. And if you are not thinking about stability all the time, then you are not gonna improve (again a change...!!!). Stabilty is nothing but a BALANCE AMONG THE CHANGES and this is the funniest part of the story.
PS: Taking reference from my Chemistry days.. All that are stable remain so, till they do not reach a threshold..Otherwise nothing exist, that can be categorised as Stable!! (not even the ARGONONs). CHANGE IS THE NAME OF THE GAME!!

But even stable things can be unstabilised through a small change......In my terms stable means a constant change weather it is 0x0 ....a fix pattern in which a thing or a person moves upwards or downwards

Manish A thought provoking post! In the context of an organizational or even at the personal level the biggest challenge is .... to manage stability and change simultaneously.

In the former case we need to be innovative and efficient at the same time. The measures and systems and type of people that foster one are often at odds with the requirements of the other. So to manage this dilemma an organizational intervention that hinges on changing the mindset of the people may be needed.

In the words of the famous philosopher Lao Tzu... "the best change is what the people think they did themselves"

Cheers,

My Intro to Adventure Sports

I always had a dream to go close to nature without falling in a kind of Solitude. ...getting introduced to Trekmates straightaway did that for me. Thanks! Varun, it was you who deserved a pat for my voila!! It all started with my intro to a group to which one of my colleague Prabir was already a part of.. (how lucky it really is to be with your buddies even after you complete your studies and continue to your work-life; that too in one of the best paying Industry, i.e, IT services --God bless America!!!) I really miss my friends and those days when we had a share of all kind of adventures that, till the time we experienced, were just a fantasy! Enough history! So, here I'm, planning a trip with a group of complete strangers. I quickly scanned through the existing contacts who could be with me for my comfort..got just one (getting him is another story alltogether) Mr. Sunil Mishra . Thank you buddy for agreeing... So, after a long long time I spent sufficient time with (.. otherw

Muhabbat ki ek aur Daastaan!

Soul Curry-timeslife. TOIM/2010/04/18 And they lived happily... NOW their story can be told... Gautam has returned home, cheerful and happily married. He has lost some hair though, and put on a few kilos. But that cannot be helped, after six months of sustained radiation and chemotherapy sessions. We were always worried about Gautam, not so much for his health as for his being perennially “accidentprone”. That was the expression my wife had reserved for him for the way he used to fall in and out of love. Women, no doubt, found him handsome and flipped for him at first sight. But having known him for over 20 years, I knew that for all his charming ways and dashing looks, he was actually an old-fashioned bloke and painfully self-righteous — a trait many of his girlfriends found rather off-putting. So when Sandhya walked out of an Internet portal and into his life, we were pleasantly surprised. They had a small engagement ceremony in Delhi. The marriage would be fixed once Sandhya g

Is the relationship really worth it?

Read/ saw some important lessons on relationship and intimacy.. a presentation by Elizabeth Gilbert , author of Eat, Pray, Love.  Really worth a deep contemplation! The hedgehog's dilemma, or sometimes the porcupine dilemma, is an analogy about the challenges of human intimacy. It describes a situation in which a group of hedgehogs all seek to become close to one another in order to share their heat during cold weather. However, once accomplished, they cannot avoid hurting one another with their sharp quills. They must step away from one another. Though they all share the intention of a close reciprocal relationship, this may not occur for reasons which they cannot avoid. Both Schopenhauer and Freud have used this situation to describe what they feel is the state an individual will find themselves in relation to others. The hedgehog's dilemma suggests that despite goodwill, human intimacy cannot occur without substantial mutual harm, and what results is cautious behavior and
