［印］迪帕卡.德拉瑟卡瑞思/Deepak Chandrasekaran
变化是生存的燃料，它将创造的汁液注入贫瘠的思想。要使事业成功，必须有所变化，并能灵活地适应变化的环境。
没有哪种工作只有一种方法才能完成，你越是探究，越能挖掘出更多不同的、有助于你工作完成的方式和方法。在这些不同的选项中，选取比较好的方式和方法去做某事是合乎逻辑的。革新是你自己发现的一种做事方法，它已经引起人们的注意，并产生了良好的效果，它就如同创造之墙上的新漆。
革新并非遥不可及。要有自信，并具有正确的价值观，才能将抽象的想法转换成具体的形式，这种特有的能力会使我们出类拔萃。将心中的想法付诸实践需要有冒险的勇气。万事开头难，最初可能没有理解和支持你的人，但要迎着困难继续坚持走下去，这正验证了你有坚定不移的意志和永不言败的决心。
对于学生来说，他们可以通过参加多种课外活动丰富自己的生活。学校的必修课是得到一份理想职业和稳定工作的关键，但书本知识并不能使实践中的你更聪明。无论你花费多少时间阅读有关游泳的书，若你不真正下水去实践，所有的阅读都是徒劳。烹饪书也不是一本仅供阅读的书，而是要将书中的理论付诸实践。课外活动能帮助人们学习怎样与人交往，让人们知道并非所有的理论在实际生活中都行得通，要适当地改变个人对不同问题的看法。参与各种活动，能帮助你更合理地分配时间。谨记，忙人最容易抽出时间，因为他们知道轻重缓急。无论多么繁忙，无论多么琐碎的小事，他们总能抽出时间去完成。
变化是生活的调味剂。正如不同的调料使食物有不同的口感一样，变化使工作有条不紊。创造力的芳香使思维获得新生，开启创造的宝藏。
Variety is the fuel for survival.Variety injects the fluid of creativity in the most barren of minds.To be grooved on to your POA of a successful career life，variety combined with flexibility to fit in changing circumstances is the major mantra of the hour.
No job can be done in one single way.The more one explores，more will be the different dimensions that will be observed which can help to complete a job.It is logical to choose the better way of doing a thing among various available options.Innovation is your own discovered way of doing a job，that has been appreciably noticed and yielded favorable results.Innovation is just like a fresh paint being splashed on the walls of creativity.
Innovation is not something that cannot be achieved by us.Belief in ourselves jelled with the unique distinction of having the ability to give concrete shape to our values and ideas is what separates the boys from the men.It takes a lot of guts to venture out and execute the algorithm of ideas on our mind.The initial phase is the toughest，which will not give you any favorable takers or pushers.But to keep on going when the going is tough is what takes a test of mental perseverance and never say die grit and determination.
For students they can spice up their lives with variety by focusing on extra curricular activities apart from academics.Agreed that academics are the timetested key to a good career and a secure job，but the books don’t make you become street smart.No matter how long you have read on swimming，unless and until you enter the water and swim，all the reading is useless.The recipes given in a cookery book are not there to be read like a book，but to be tried practically.Extra curricular activities help one to deal with people，tells one the areas where theoretical theories can’t be applied in real life and also changes the individuals outlook to various problems.Also time management becomes easy by involving one in various activities.Remember that only a busy man can find time，because he knows how to set his priorities and take out time even for the smallest task，no matter how busy his schedule is.
Variety is the spice of life.Just like different spices flavor the food in a different way，variety flavors any task.The aroma of creativity revitalizes the mind to open its creative reserves.
