Things change as much as they stay the same, keeping up with circumstance as they change requires a great deal of mental fluidity. The Greek Thinker Aristotle thought that “life was defined by movement. What does not move is dead”. I believe in upward mobility, which means the avoidance of the same tiresome predictability of daily life, and not letting my mind settle into static position day in and day out repeating the same lifeless maneuvers. For those reasons, i always challenge my understanding, by being curious about life and finding new ways to adapt to the ever changing complexity and chaos of my daily life.
