With the quickening pace of modern society,  conditions arouds us are keeping change. For employees, they need to own several specific skills to be a competent people, not only outstanding professional knowledge, but also other abilities, such as adaptability, which is the most important one for a people to survive in a strange environment. Therefore, I definitely agree with the agreeement, in another word, an adapt employee thrives on change and can work independently and collaboratively. Adaptability is more useful in the work place than specialized knowledge.To begin with, employees must be able to meet the rapid changing working conditions, even in the same company. Advanced technology make companis hire fewer workers, which result in that employees need to shoulder more tasks and can change their work roles easily. Actually, multi-tasking, work flexibility and changing locations are common characteristics of  modern working environment. Without adaptabilty, a person can hardly throw himself into the work, the newly condition will distract him from concentrate, so the working efficient will go down, no matter how brilliant the people is. For example, sales man, who need to do the door-to-door sellings everyday, on one can deny that shy guys are qualified for this job, since they dare the strangers, feel afraid to their changing working conditions, even a higher degree do no help for them.  Therefore, adaptbility plays an significant role in a person's career, which may help them to be successful. Secondly, current working environment also need employees can work independently as well as suitble for the group work. Work autonomously is a big challange for new comers, specific knowledge can be helpful sometimes, but an adapt people will soon get involved in the social circles within the company,  so they can ask some more experienced ones to help them. Furthermore, group work  account for a high proportion in workplaces. This needs people collaboration, which means employees have team spirits, good communicate skills, and can help each other. The employers do not concern  about the process, what they care are the outcomes. To get high efficiency and productivity,  collaboration is essential. So people also need to accustomed to the group work, they should express themselves when they have creative ideas, they should help others when they met troubles, they still need to resolve the disagreement quickly.  Adaptbility can are a essential part in this process, it can make people more bravely,
