Are You Ready For Tomorrow?

We are told that if we embrace change, accepting it will be easier. Most people do not easily accept the new, mostly because of the unknown factor that people tend to call fear. It is not only as Dostoyevsky had put it that "taking a new step, uttering a new world is what people fear most." Even in slight things the experience of the new is rarely without some stirring of foreboding.

In the case of drastic change, like the one information technology has currently imposed on many aspects of our lives, the uneasiness is deeper and more lasting. No man is really prepared for that which is wholly new. Everyone has to adjust and every radical adjustment is a crisis in self-esteem. By undergoing through a change people have to prove themselves right. It needs inordinate self-confidence to face drastic change without inner trembling.

Srongly agree with "most people do not easily accept the new, mostly because of the unknown factor that people tend to call fear". For example, if you place a person who has been blinded with black cloth in the centre of the complex. You will notice that the person would not move and he just stay on the ground. If there is someone lend him a hand, guiding him. Absolutely he will follow the person who guide him.
