Most people hate change, which is sad since we often go through big changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So why do most of us find making changes to our lives so hard?
Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, people of Paris were unhappy because of the Eiffel Tower. In fact, people were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested (抗议)it. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry.
Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry.
People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger of change is to be flexible (灵活的). It is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change take place faster than ever before.
When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it, accept it. A good attitude helps a lot. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. It's up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know - your next change may be your life's Eiffel Tower!
