You are not a failure if you change plans

That’s the brilliant gem from Alex, when he wrote the post:

The Most Important Thing I’ve Learned in Medical School (and It’s Not Medicine)

Changing plans isn’t a sign of failure. In fact, changing plans is the only way to achieve success.

Nokia started as a paper mill…until it transitioned to be a mobile phone company.

Amazon started by only selling books…and then expanded to become the multi-billion dollar Everything Store.

Google started as just a search engine…and grew to fulfil its vision of ” all the world’s information in just one click”.

You started life out as a foetus living in your mother’s womb with webbed feet, a tail, an umbilical cord and a placenta. When it was time for you to be born, you got rid of everything that was unnecessary for your new phase of life in order for you to thrive in your new environment.

Just because you start somewhere doesn’t mean you have to stay there.

Remember: you are not a failure if you change plans.
