WHAT DO PEOPLE MEAN BY "FLEXIBILITY"?

Flexibility is a sign of respect for things you know you can't change.

Flexibility also means that when you recognize an opportunity that you should take full advantage of you do so with enthusiasm and tailor your response to the needs of the opportunity at hand.

Flexibility requires you to keep an open mind. There are many ways to get to the same result. Do not lose sight of your goal but at the same time do not be so focused on what you have to do that you shut off other possible ways to get the same result.

Flexibility requires you to keep learning fun.

Flexibility requires you to keep your curiosity alive. Don't be afraid to admit "I don't know" to yourself and others.

Admitting "I don't know" allows you to pay attention to what others have to say.

Admitting "I don't know" no doubt makes you more vulnerable. But since nobody has all the answers all the time, coming to terms with your limitations makes you appear more human, less aloof, more humble and hence more approachable.

Flexibility is the willingness to re-examine choices based on new facts.

Flexibility means loving the challenge of adapting to something new.

Flexibility means able to tolerate the uncertainty that comes with not getting what you want right now.
