It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be...  This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking. Isaac Asimov
About This Quote

There is a great need for change in our world today. The old ways simply will not do. People must realize that the only way to progress is through change. Change not only means to fix what is broken, but to change it entirely.

If you are upset about the way things are done, then you should seek out how things should be done. Even if you think that change is impossible, try to find ways to make it happen.
