“We refuse to acknowledge changes around us. . .”

“When the environment changes in such a way as to render the old skills and strengths less relevant, we almost instinctively cling to our past.

We refuse to acknowledge changes around us, almost like a child who doesn’t like what he’s seeing so he closes his eyes and counts to 100 and figures that what bothered him will go away. . . .

The phrase you’re likely to hear at such times is ‘Just give us a bit more time.’”
