To Be A Champion, Become A Child Darwin got it wrong. Survival does not happen to the Fittest, but to the Most Adaptable. As children, we adapt to long-term change relatively easily. We are more willing to accept situations and adapt our behaviour accordingly. Unfortunately, as we grow older, we become more rigid in our thinking, unwilling to accept that there may be better ways of doing things. In a changing business scenario, resistance to change makes us obsolete. We end up losing out to players with a better understanding of changing trends. Champions are those who can adapt themselves and their business to changing trends. 5. Champions are Willing to Innovate Children are extremely inventive beings. They come into this world with no preconceived notions of doing things. In their minds there are no limits to what they can do or how they can do it. Champions apply these very principles to take their business to the top. They not only learn from what has been done before. They find ways of doing it more efficiently, more cheaply, more successfully. As Shiv Khera, motivation coach and author of "You Can Win" puts it, "Winners don't do different things. They do things differently." You don't have to be like a child in all respects to succeed. It's probably not even desirable. But if your pre-conceived notions, fears and hesitation are preventing you from reaching your goals, try looking at the world through a child's eyes. At best you will improve your chances of success, at worst you'll remain young at heart.
