An Excellent Lesson to be learnt for Survival

I was going through an article published in a leading newspaper and my eyes got stuck to one paragraph of that article, which was an excellent lesson on survival. It is a real story of NOKIA company.

During the press conference to announce NOKIA being acquired by MICROSOFT, Nokia CEO ended with his speech saying this "We didn't do anything wrong, but some how we lost." Upon saying this all his management team including himself teared with sadness. 

Nokia has been as a respectable and reliable company. They did not do anything wrong in their business, however the world changed too fast and also the competitors were too powerful. 

They missed out on their learning part as they forgot to make it big. That is the reason they missed opportunity to make big money, and the lost their chances of survival also.

The learning from this is very simple yet powerful. It is not wrong if you do not want to learn new things, but if your thoughts and mindset can not catch up with the time, you will be eliminated. 

You must CHANGE yourself according to the TIME
