"The art of life is a constant readjustment to our surroundings." (Kakuzo Okakaura)

"A wise man adapts himself to circumstances, as water shapes itself to the vessel that contains it." (Chinese proverb)

Too often, when there is a change in our surroundings, our environment, our organization, or our personal lives - one that impacts the status quo in a material way, we can be at a loss as to how to react.
