It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.- Charles Darwin

Inspirational quote of the day by Charles Darwin.

In order to succeed you need to be able to adapt to change.

You might be smart, have a strong belief in yourself and are prepared to work hard and consistently towards your goal, but in order to succeed, you also need to have a flexible mindset and be ready to adapt to change when necessary.

Life is dynamic; it is constantly changing, and what has worked in the past will not necessarily continue to work in the future. Keep up to date with the current trends, and if you see a shift in the market, be prepared to make changes in order to stay relevant.

Charles Darwin (1809-1882), the author of this wise quote, was a naturalist, geologist, and biologist best known for his groundbreaking contributions to the theory of evolution. His publication of "On the Origin of Species" in 1859 introduced the concept of natural selection, which says that organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success.

A modern-day example to illustrate this quote is that of Nokia. In the early 2000s, Nokia was the dominant player in the mobile phone industry. With the introduction of smartphones however, Nokia failed to anticipate the consumer shift towards smartphones. Nokia stuck to its normal way of doing things and, as a result, lost nearly all of its market share and consumer interest, which led to its downfall.
