I went to visit my uncle the other day.
Well past his 95th birthday, this man has had a wonderful career as a businessman, community activist and entrepreneur. It's become a pleasant ritual for me to take him some cannoli (his favorite desert) and to ask his advice on work and other worldly issues.
Talking about the cannoli, I was describing to my uncle how the Italian bakery owner was telling me that each time he does some new construction work at his bakery it seems to increase his business. My uncle laughed. By the way, if I were to state my uncle's name, just about every New Yorker would recognize it since one of his projects was to establish a landmark New York Gourmet marketplace.
Anyway, my uncle laughed and said "it was always a principle of mine in business to understand that change makes people aware of you".
He re emphasized this when I said to him that I often work with people who are concerned or fixated with change. He just said, "it only helps".
