They evolved because a need and determination were there.

The desire to survive is the unwavering factor.

Just like that tenacious little lizard, you can evolve into what you wish to be.

The successful business people see their business as a life or death scenario.
Those that 'play' at it, rarely become 'successful' in my experience.
(I got bored of 'succeeding' at business. It's way too tiring and time intensive.)

I play with soldiers on a tabletop, and write on steemit now! lol
