Roughly two-third of the companies in the bestselling book In Search of Excellence by Tom Peters are no longer in existence. This is because many of the companies discussed in the book have either gone bankrupt or been acquired by other companies.
They failed to adapt. Period.

RISING IS NOT WINNING
By all means, get up again, but if you're just going to do what got you knocked down, you might as well stay down and retain anything that can be salvaged later on.
More important than rushing to get up, take some time to think of what you will do different.
