How to adapt to others
Adapting to others is a very important aspect of life. Without being able to adapt to others, you'll only be friends with people like you. While I'm sure that you think you're amazing, everyone is just not the same as you. If they were the same as you, life would be boring. You don't want clones running around! A variety of people is good. I know that I have to have different people around me to keep me balanced. Sure, I get along easily with people that are like me, but easy doesn't do much for me.

Pen and Paper
"I don't like using pen and paper. I'd rather type. I take my laptop everywhere with me. I can take notes with my laptop wherever I go. It's so much more convenient."
That is true, but there is a time when you should use your laptop, and times that good old fashioned pen and paper actually do the trick. I used to think that writing everything on my laptop was the way to go, but I've found that laptops can really affect your ability to pay attention to the human in front of you.

Know when to adapt
The level of adaptability that you are able to display will affect the ease that you are able to work with other people. Have you ever met with someone and you didn't see eye to eye? You wondered where they were coming from? or maybe you know people at work or have friends who behave differently than you. It's so hard to hang out, because you feel like you aren't yourself. That is adapting.
