From young to old, people experience change. Many people refuse change or feel afraid of it. They run away from changes and prefer to stay in their comfort zone. Sometimes, it’s laziness, but mostly it’s because people don’t like feeling that they have no control. It causes worries of bad outcomes, imperfections, bad results, or failing.
The good news is that doesn’t have to be the case. Change can be good for us since they can make us more flexible (灵活的) and open-minded, and it can open doors to more opportunities. What’s more, even if we refuse change, it will enter our life just the same. If we don’t learn to embrace change, then we can’t move forward, and we may be left behind. So, whether it’s changing the way you study, the focus of your learning, or learning a new skill, we need to know how to deal with change.
To make a change, we can try taking small steps. Give ourselves time to change. Find one little thing that we can do at a time, then do it, and then do another. Take small steps forward. It will make the change easier to achieve. If it takes a long time, be patient, and don’t be passive. Don’t worry about failure. Even if it ends with bad results, we still learn from the process, which is also a success on its own.
Remember that if there were no change, there would be no butterflies, so embrace change with courage.
