Are you accepting of change?

As part of an annual survey, I was asked about what I thought about change. And I said, "I think change is good." And that is what they wanted to hear. Then I added, "when it results in something good." Ah, not what they wanted to hear. 

You have these institutions that constantly are looking for changes that they can make. And, of course, they want us to accept those changes. And that's a good thing -- if the changes are good. 

Disney ran a campaign once for kids. And it was "I want to change the world" campaign, or something like that. They had all sorts of child celebrities on TV saying, "We are working to change the world." 

So I ask, "How do you want to change the world?

Or you have politicians, like Obama, who had the campaign slogan, "Forward." And I ask, "Moving forward to what?"

And Obama also said he wanted to fundamentally transform America. And I ask, "Fundamentally transform it to what? Do you want to fundamentally transform it towards more freedom? Or do you want to fundamentally transform it towards socialism?" 

These are the types of questions we should all be asking. 

Of course, if you are being interviewed for a job, you say what you think they want to hear. You say, "Yep. I love change. I am very accepting of change." Although, in the back of your mind, you are thinking, "What the hell do they mean by change?" You think this way, and speak as such, because you are SMART.
