the art of changing your mind faster than the situation can change you
means the ability to move, think, or adapt quickly and nimbly.
from From Latin agilis, "nimble, quick," built on agere, "to do, drive, set in motion" — the same restless root that powers act, agent, and agenda. It reached English in the 15th century through French agilité, originally describing the lightness of the body before it ever described the quickness of the mind.
