Summary/Abstract: The present times brought about immense socio–economic transformations with major challenges in the sphere of the dynamic human adaptation to these changes. The consequences of the contemporary technical–scientific evolution in the sphere of renewing the volume of information, has directly affected how information is presented. This paper emphasizes that these changes generated the challenge of an individual’s inability to adapt, and the incapacity to actively participate in the social and personal transformation. A change of mentality presupposes assuming risks, sustained effort, stress, conflicts, and endurance. To be efficient, such a change needs to take place at the individual level, and then continue by developing skills and securing motivation in the context of an ever–changing society. At the same time, this paper emphasizes that the mere existence of an ideal is insufficient unless there is a willingness to adapt by making changes. When we pass from the mentality that says “if I had, I would do and so I would be,” to “I am, so I will do and I will have,” one can say that a very important step has been made for reaching the goal.
