People are generally forced to change. We don't want to change, and then something absolutely forces us to realize that what we are doing isn't working or that our picture of the world is wrong. We fail. So we change.

I like to say that the one thing that all people who succeed in changing the world have in common is that they at least tried.

I think sometimes people are scared to change. Sometimes people are scared to do something different, especially if they've been successful at something.

Most people don't like change. They revolt against it unless they can clearly see the advantage it brings. For that reason, when good leaders prepare to take action or make changes, they take people through a process to get them ready for it.

More people, especially young people, are realising that if they want change, they've got to go about it themselves - they can't depend on a particular person, i.e. me, to do all the work. They are less easy to fool than they used to be, they now know what's going on all over the world.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Change takes effort. And the reality is, most people don't want to put in effort to better their life.

I don't know if people consciously get in the way of their own success. In fairness, people have a lot of pride, and they fall back on what they know to be safe and correct. Anybody, including me, struggles with change.

People are afraid of changing; that they're losing something. They don't understand that they are also gaining something.
