Change the Unchangeable

——Through positive attitude

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!

Have you ever complained about your origin? Have you ever been teased about you short height? Have you ever been troubled by being in an unsatisfying circumstance? As we know, life is always full of things that are unchangeable, but does it mean that we have no alternative but to submit to them? Definitely no! What we are supposed to do is to change the unchangeable.

In our life, there are inevitably lots of unchangeable obstacles for us. Although we may not be capable of changing them directly, we can change what we can do in an unchangeable situation.

Disability is unchangeable, but we can change our attitude towards life. Nick Vujicic, who is a distinguished Australian motivational speaker, was born with no limbs. Confronted with this unchangeable situation, he was still optimistic and plucked up courage to love life. With enthusiasm and perseverance, he incredibly accomplished a series of things such as swimming, playing football, riding a horse and so forth. With optimism and passion, he successfully made a miracle of being a world-famous motivational speaker.

Circumstances is unchangeable, but we can change our mentality towards it. I

can still well remember the time when I was sent to a secondary school which had a bad reputation among people. Honestly speaking, my heart sank on hearing the news. Much unsatisfying as the circumstances was to me, I held the firm belief that studying harder than ever before would make a difference. Delightfully, having devoted myself to study during those three years, I was admitted into a key high school at last.

You see, things like disability, circumstances are all unchangeable, and to some extent, they do hinder us from achieving our goals. But do not ever submit to them. Change your attitude towards them, and work hard to change what you can do to make a difference!

As an American motivational speaker Brian Tracy once said,”You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude towards what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.” As long as we hold a positive attitude and endeavor to make a change, we will be able to change the unchangeable and make the impossible possible!

Thank you.
