Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others, however, think that change is always a good thing. Discuss!

Change is a central concept in modern life. Some people make changes in their life frequently while others try to avoid them whenever possible. Both positions will be analyses before a conclusion is reached on how to deal with change in one’s life.

On the one hand, change can enrich and improve our lifes and enable progress and  innovation. It is evident that people who make changes in their life gain a broader range of experiences. For example a person that hold different positions over their work life will have a broader perspective than an employee staying in the same position for a long time. Without change innovations and invention can not happen. Many inventions originate from a single persons will to change something. Change can improve people’s life by enabling them to start a new job or relationship if they were unsatisfied with their situation.

On the other hand, many undertakings in life require some stability and persistence to be a success. Some ventures, like mastering a field or building a relationship may need patience and persistence rather than giving up easily and opting for a change. For example, having a family requires a stable environment. In some situations it can be worth avoiding changes in favour of stability or security . Finally, new is not always better. In many cases people are too excites about the novelty of something to consider the side effects of a potential change.

All in all, change always implies a chance and a risk. No progress can be made without change but it is worth considering the side effects of change. Stability and safety may sometimes outweigh the chances and experiences gained by making changes.
