“Better the Devil you know” – probably the worst saying in existence?

Why do we stay in jobs long after they have lost any interest for us?  Why do we stay with managers who fail to motivate us and consistently fall short of our expectations? And why do we resist change that is ‘attractive’, beneficial and likely to raise us to new heights?

“Oh, better the devil you know”

So, we would rather be miserable than risk doing something different.

We would rather stagnate than doing something developmental.

We would rather be comfortable, than be excited and challenged to fulfil our potential.

I would like to suggest dear audience, that “better the devil you know” is the WORST saying in existence. Or leave me a comment if you think you have a better one!
