Adaptability

Charles Darwin said: "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent.  It is the one that is most adaptable to change."

We certainly have seen many changes since the beginning of 2020; Pandemic, civil unrest, political divide, devastating job losses, and upheaval in how work is done are but a few.  Change is nothing new for many of us that have lived through the Cold War, the Vietnam Conflict, the falling of the USSR, the advances of technology and the closure/downsizing of many industries that led to financial catastrophe.  The lessons that we learned was no different from those of our parents or of what our younger generations are learning today.  CHANGE IS FORCED UPON US.  How we adapt will determine our achievements, the financial stability of our family and probably have an impact on future generations.  Let's not fight what we can't control.  Embrace the opportunity to rise above it!

Here is a link to an article from ENR about how some of the top Engineering Design Firms have adapted.  I hope that you enjoy it!
