adaptability - flexibility

Adaptability is considered to be the ability, that has since ever been human's most inevitable one for survival and consequently, in a way, the groundstone for evolution. What that meant was to choose an alternative way of living when neccessary. Transferring to present, it is pretty much equivalent to the modern value of flexibility. Flexibility, within the system, means the ability of living and working in other places when necessary. It is a prominent demand requested by employers and often gratefully met by the young, by the ambitious. So obviously human's modern flexibility and human's classical adaptability are closely related. Both values have proven their potential for success.

The difference is: adaptablility is demanded, once livelihood tends to vanish, and flexibility is demanded, for the increase of your livelihood.

From my point of view, most young women and men follow a plan A, try to cope with society, the system, for sure, considering other options, out of necessity. However when coming to the point where plan A does not work or does not show progress any more - how much flexibility are we able to give? When do you give up plan A? - a crucial point. We don't change running systems, but what we do when they crash, do we really know? - that's when adaptability is demanded.
