new id

Everything on earth seems to be on a competition of some sort hence the phrase, “survival of the fittest”. Different species of life ranging from plants, to animals and humans, everyone is trying their best to out-do each other.

In the plant world, there are some plant-life that are known to employ some unorthodox tactics to compete for sunlight as well as soil nutrients, same goes for wildlife whereby prey are usually at the mercy of the predators.

Diving right to civilization, humans are also no strangers to the survival mentality. Right from childhood, we are ‘programmed’ that failure to conform to certain societal standards, we end up putting our future lives at risk.

Such conformities may range from cultural, religion, educational, behavioral etc. While it may be true that following a particular path may lead to success, it may also prove costly not to adapt to the changing times.

For example, some of us grew up knowing that getting a proper education will land us a comfortable lives in future yet in reality, there are many scholars and professors facing unemployment while a school dropout somehow manages to accumulate enough wealth to last almost 3 of their future generations.

These are sometimes the ironies of life, same goes for businesses. Companies which were once considered highly profitable at one time have ended up facing mergers or worse off liquidation in the ever dynamic market.

It is for the sake of remaining relevant even for decades to come that most companies prefer recruiting the best talents and visionaries to help propel them to greater heights and edge out the competition.
