A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.

Change They Say Is Inevitable. Change comes in many forms to us. It may come forcefully like a tidal wave, or creep along incrementally like a glacier. It may also come in the form of devastating tragedy, difficult choices, broken relationships, or even new opportunities.

It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change. --Charles Darwin.
