The entire world that incorporates human beings is aware of the unuttered sound of change. Change is a persistent process. When the earth was made it started changing to make nature and various living beings. Every day, everywhere various kinds of changes are taking place. As a result, one must accept the change and act accordingly. One thing is for sure that all of us should be ready to accept and incorporate change. Accepting and incorporating change require changing the mindset of the individual i.e., one must get ready to incorporate the proposed change in day- today life.
