The only constant in life is change: I I I I a new born babe soon becomes a child, I I I I a child turns into a man and thereafter I I I I quits the world. Day changes to gloom I I I I of night, night changes to light of day, I I I I cold winter changes to spring shine, I I I I summer changes to autumn decline. I I I I Nothing is static in life, movement is I I I I inexorable, it`s either full forward or I I I I backward: if one does not move fast I I I I forward forthright, firmly grasping I I I I the winds of change, one will be I I I I hurled in the backyard and decay I I / \ in the dark. The adage is to adapt / \ / \ like grass or perish like tall trees. / \ / \ / \ / ----------\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ /---------\
