The accelerated pace of change and the consequences of it have prompted an outpouring of literature, business, academic and personal self-help.	"The only thing that makes life possible is permanent...uncertainty; not knowing what comes next." ---Ursula LeGuin
Visualizing
	The ability to effectively manage change in an ever-changing world may be as important a skill for each of us, as the traditional "Three R" skills of "reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic."	"The Universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it."---Marcus Aurelius
Planning	It has become a truism to say that change is speeding up--that we have experienced more change in a few short years than our ancestors, and their ancestors, did in the course of many centuries. Political, social, technological, ecological and economic changes now take place with bewildering rapidity.
		"If you do not think about the future, you cannot have one."---John Galsworthy
Transitions
	The ability to plan and manage change effectively is a learned behaviour, although few learning institutions teach the subject. As with other skills, one's abilities improve with practice. Nearly everyone thinks about making some changes in their lives.	"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself."---Leo Tolstoi
