Zen Word For Better Communication #34 諸行無常 Shogyoh-mujoh

No two days are the same, nor are any two tomorrows.

Everything in this world is constantly changing and nothing remains fixed.

Everything surrounding business – from the market and customer needs to business practices – is impermanent.  In order to respond quickly to change, we must be willing to change ourselves. 

Even with customers and partners with whom we have built trusting relationships, it’s important to understand that these relationships are constantly evolving.  We must provide attentive, ongoing support.

“Shogyoh-mujoh” refers not only to risk, but also to opportunity.  When the market changes, opportunities for new entrants arise, and when relationships change, new partnerships can be forged.
