Change
We trained hard... but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form into teams we would be reorganised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising... and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation.
Petronius (died AD 65)
A great wind is blowing, and that gives you either imagination or a headache.
Catherine the Great
When the winds of change blow, some people build windmills, others build walls.
