Changing Ourselves 改变自己

From my point of view, we should change ourselves when
the situation can’t be changed any more. Difficulties hide in every corner of
our life so we have to face them at times. But the problem is that we sometimes
are not able to change the challenging situations at all as our abilities are
limited. When it comes, we’d better change our attitude towards these
difficulties. Only in this way can we get rid of the tough surroundings and be
happy.

Something like that happened to me once. There was a
time when I was laughed at by my classmates while I was walking. I was puzzled
so I asked them why they laughed at me. One of them told me that the way I
walked was very strange and funny. I was sad but I just couldn’t change the way
I walked. And the situation of being laughed at by those people didn’t stop.
Therefore, I changed my attitude towards the incident. I ignored those comments
on me and walked as I used to. The comments soon disappeared and I was so glad
to have succeeded in the quiet war.

So in my opinion, we should change ourselves first and
then the situation can be changed at last. It is very difficult for us to
change our surroundings but much easier to change ourselves. People around us
will see our change, after which they may change their attitude toward us.
