I had a professor in a university PM course who had a lesson that has had a lasting impression on me. He said that the people who are most successful in #life &amp; #business, are the ones who most readily adapt to change of all kinds. His advice was that more than any other skill, if you practise being adaptable and quick to let go of old assumptions &amp; behaviours, then you will have an advantage when things inevitably change. This is on my mind a lot as we face so much change these days.

I'm thinking a lot about how I need to change and adapt. To protect my family, to remain successful, to face #climate change risks. To even cope emotionally with the deluge of bad news. What can I change about how I am a consumer to give my attention & money to platforms, services & products that align better with my priorities? How do I expand beyond my #PHP skills to have more to offer as a #developer? What new approaches should I have to #parenting?

@syntaxseed@phpc.social Utter twaddle. The people who are the most successful are the people with the most privilege, plain and simple.
