Be a Palm, Not an Oak

My best friend has quote that he stole from his dad that goes: "Be a palm tree, and not an oak."

After a storm you never really see palm trees on the ground because they tend to bend back and forth as the wind blows. Oaks, on the other hand, are solid and sturdy. They can face the winds, but when a big enough storm comes, they can be broken. As the world of journalism is changing on all fronts, I think it's best that we keep the quote in mind and learn to roll with the punches instead of walking right into them.
