In this step 2 of the 67 steps, Tai Lopez explains the importance of adapting and how change is the basic law of nature. The most important piece of advice I took from this step was a quote by Leon C Megginson:
"Your IQ nor your strength will get you success unless you are able to adapt and change. Some people stay in jobs, relationships or situation for too long simply because they don't have the ability to change or adapt to a new situation or don't know how to."
Why adaptability is important for success
Tai elaborates on the evolution of an individual, why adaptability is important for success and how in order to be successful you can't ever be comfortable to the point you are not evolving. In Tai's eyes, evolution means not just becoming better at what you do but understanding people better and you can only do that once you stop seeing things black and white and right or wrong. There are so many colors in between and just because you may disagree with something doesn't necessarily means it is wrong.
When a person sees a situation as a failure instead of an experiment, he is thinking black and white. Progress only happens when you analyze a situation and realize how much was learned and the step to achieving your desired results is closer.
Thomas Edison is the perfect example of a person who saw his "failures" as an experiment and continued to work on his project: THE LIGHT BULB. Thank God for that, I always think to myself, what would have happened if he'd just stopped? Would we be using candles still?
Consequently, you must understand that if you get stuck on a paradigm your road to success will be more challenging but if you can learn do adapt, continue to evolve and learn how to see the colors in between black and white you will achieve success in a more prosperous way.

I also got my cranberry hibiscus at Echo in Ft. Myers over 13 years ago and I love that they still pop up in my yard. I've been trying to find the exact macros this plant provides to your diet but all I ever come up with is info on either the tea or the flowers. I use the leaves in my salads daily when its growing fresh in my yard. I do prefer the smaller leaves for salad. Any additional info you may have is appreciated!
