Leadership

What is Progress?

By Ron Pereira Updated on March 26th, 2008

I was reading some quotes of G.K. Chesterton tonight and came across this one.

“Progress should mean that we are always changing the world to fit the vision, instead we are always changing the vision.” – Orthodoxy, 1908

G.K. Chesterton

Rather than attempting to write an article to complement the words of this literary giant, I humbly request you quiet your mind and read the quote a few more times… pondering what it means for you personally and professionally.

The words are simple, but the message profound.
