Success of the past is one of the greatest enemies of the future
BUT
Growth is demanded of us
AND
We all resist change
BUT
Growth is impossible without change

For change and growth COMMITMENT is essential for the process.
HOWEVER
Committed people are prepared to make sacrifices. If this is true then how do we make people committed to the change?

Who resists change?
Those who are experts in the old ways.
Those who see no success in the new ways
The timid
The uncommitted.



There will be an insecurity about our survival.
If we SURVIVED yesterday
Then why not make tomorrow like yesterday.
Here we see there is no talk of growth but merely of survival
