Constant Change

When asked about change, IT innovator and visionary Subroto Bagchi had the simplest advice: There will never be a time when we won’t be confronted with change, so we might as well embrace it. It’s scary. It feels dangerous. You can’t predict what will come next. But if you embrace it, it can be an opportunity rather than a hindrance. Change may be the only constant in the universe but it is one of the most fundamental issues we struggle with. Whether it is changing a travel route or a career or our own lives for the better, there are very few people in the world who don’t fear at least some kind of change. Constant Change is the transcript of Bagchi’s convocation address at the University of Florida in May 2014. Witty, entertaining and insightful, it hits home for everyone.
