During the press conference to announce NOKIA being acquired
by Microsoft, Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this "we didn't do
anything wrong, but somehow, we lost".
Upon saying that, all his management team, himself included, teared sadly. Nokia has been a respectable company. They didn't do anything wrong in their business, however, the world changed too fast. Their opponents were too powerful. They missed out on learning, they missed out on changing, and thus they lost the opportunity at hand to make it big. Not only did they missed the opportunity to earn big money, they lost their chance of survival.
The message of this story is, if you don't change, you shall be removed from the
competition. It's not wrong if you don't
want to learn new things. However, if your thoughts and mindset cannot catch up
with time, you will be eliminated.
2. To change and improve yourself is giving yourself a second chance. To be forced by others to change, is like being discarded. Those who refuse to learn & improve, will definitely one day become redundant & not relevant to the industry. They will learn the lesson in a hard & expensive way.

Conclusion:
1. The advantage you
have yesterday, will be replaced by the
trends of tomorrow. You don't have to do
anything wrong, as long as your competitors catch the wave and do it
RIGHT, you can lose out and fail. 2. To change and improve yourself is giving yourself a second chance. To be forced by others to change, is like being discarded. Those who refuse to learn & improve, will definitely one day become redundant & not relevant to the industry. They will learn the lesson in a hard & expensive way.
