MAGELANG – On Monday, October 12, 2026, BPS-Statistics Indonesia Magelang Regency shared IPOD (Inspiration for Self-Potential) as part of its efforts to foster enthusiasm, motivation, and character development among all employees.
This edition of IPOD features an inspirational quote attributed to George Bernard Shaw:
“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”
The quote conveys the message that progress requires a willingness to embrace change and view things from different perspectives. The desire for improvement must be accompanied by openness to new ideas, the courage to evaluate existing approaches, and the willingness to let go of habits that are no longer relevant. Without a change in mindset, efforts to achieve better results may be hindered by the continued reliance on old patterns.
In both life and work, adaptability is essential in facing ever-evolving challenges. Being open to feedback, learning new methods, and evaluating work results are practical steps that can help individuals find more effective ways to fulfill their responsibilities. Change does not always mean abandoning everything that has been done before, but also understanding what should be maintained and what needs to be improved.
Through IPOD, BPS-Statistics Indonesia Magelang Regency hopes this quote will serve as a reminder for all employees to remain open to change and continuously develop themselves. With an adaptive mindset, a willingness to innovate, and a commitment to improving work quality, each individual can contribute to creating a more effective, professional, and progress-oriented work environment.
