"La stabilité est le début de la fin."
— Alan Watts
Simplified Meaning:
When things stay the same for too long, progress can stop. Think about a company that never changes how it operates. At first, staying stable might seem good because everyone knows what to expect. However, as time goes on, other companies might try new ideas and become better and more popular. The stable company falls behind, and it gets harder for them to catch up. In our own lives, if we never try new things or take risks, we might feel safe. But over time, we might miss out on new opportunities and experiences. Just like a plant needs to grow and change to stay healthy, people and businesses also need to keep moving forward to succeed. Trying new things, learning, and adapting help us stay alive and thrive.
