It is often difficult for people to choose whether staying the same or changing for a new experience. Each of the two has its own advantage and disadvantage. As a youngster with unlimited energy and enthusiasm, I will choose change without any hesitation.
The first reason I choose change is that change is the propeller that push the world to develop from an ancient tribe in which people hunted for their life, to today's earth on which people can study and work in their comfortable homes without worrying about life. What makes the thousands of years’ development possible is that people like to change the world. As we all know, by changing stones into stone axes, people could gather more meat for their families; by changing breast's fur into clothes, people keep themselves warm; by changing solar energy into heat and electricity, people can find a new way to prevent the energy shortage. Thus, it is change that develops the world we live in.
Second, let's come to our daily life. Change gives people a feeling of curiosity and drive him to discovery various new things around him. Every one is curious about the new objects he saw and the news he heard, and has the pulse to detect everything. We are excited about moving into a new house, and we are excited about our new jobs. Even a little change of the furniture placing in our rooms can make us excited for a few hours.
The last and in my opinion a very practical reason is that change can improve people's adaptability. When you move to a new school, or come to a new job, your environment has changed. Therefore, in order to get used to your new surrounding quickly, you have to change yourself first. Perhaps, you have kept your regular habit for such a long time and it is a painful process for you to change yourself. But by doing this you will observe in the future that you are able to be adapted to more changes around yourself and that there is an expanded world in front of you. All of these result from that you have the courage to change yourself.
For the reasons presented above, I strongly commit to the notion that change makes our lives colorful and trains us to adapt to our world. People should enjoy change and look forward to new experiences.

There is a famous Chinese proverb says, “The world is so big that it includes all kinds of men”. Different people have different life styles. Some people enjoy change and new experiences. Others like their lives to stay the same. Frankly, I prefer to change in my point of view.
Before rendering my opinion in detail, it is necessary to take a glance at the position of the opposite view. A lot of people, especially the old, advocate that staying the same is safe and pleasant. They think that the life has no up and down is the best one. Someone will also say if you stick to one point, it would be better. For example, the famous Chinese Opera actor Mei Lanfang kept his usual habit to observing birds and fish. At last, he succeeded in his eye acting.
It is true that staying the same has a lot of advantages, but I will explain some important reasons why I prefer to change. In modern society, the world is changing in every minute. If we do not change, how can we keep pace with the world? A small example could give some light to this point. Some young people like traveling from one place to another. New experiences could let them understand the world fully.
Another equally significant advantage of changing is that we can explore our talents better and deeper. Some people like to change jobs. They believe that new jobs can give them chances to understand themselves and choose one is the most suitable for them. Take Chancer for example, he had been a courtier, a soldier, an ambassador and a legislator. Finally, he became the noted writer.
Considering all the factors, we will find out that the advantages of changes outweigh those of staying the same. Both views have strong foundations, but no one could ignore the convenience and satisfaction offered by change and new experiences. Such experiences will definitely be helpful in one’s later life.

There are those who prefer things to stay the same, while there are others who prefer change. My personal preference is to establish a routine and stick to it, though this has not always been true of me.
When I was younger, I wasn't a creature of habit. I enjoyed change. When summers came and I was free from the responsibilities of school, I would travel, take off with friends at a moment's notice, and make decisions from day to day. In this way, I had lots of new experiences, met new and interesting people, and learned a lot about life.
These days, I enjoy sticking to a routine. This is partially due to the fact that I am a mother of two small children. I find that their lives are happier if I don't upset their schedules too much. For example, we give the children a bath every night at 8:00, put them in their pajamas, read them stories and put them to sleep by 9:00. There are times when this is inconvenient, but everyone in the household is happier if we stick to our routine. In addition, our friends know when to find us at home and when we are free. This makes visiting easier.
In conclusion, the type of person I am has changed with the circumstances of my life. The obligations of my family force me to have a routine. When I was young, I enjoyed the suspense and adventure of living a crazy life. Now the stability of a household routine suits me better. I think that while most people need a minimum amount of security, those who depend on you often make a difference in your lifestyle.

living in this world, people keep different rules and preference to their life.Some people prefer to experience what they do not know, some choose to regular their life and enjoy the quiet.Obviously, no one is wrong, while as for me, my personal opinion is similar with the former.
By positively changing their life people can enrich their knowledge.As for from the change of their job, People will meet the new environment where they must work hard to learn new techniques and skills to catch up with the new coming requirements. Staying in a stated position, people tend to be involved in their daily activities with all their time and energy without further progress.
Consciously changing their life will also benifit people to live happily. The feeling of life is boring is for sure coming to human being step by step if they always keep a stagnating living. As we all know , lots of couples complain their life is full of dull, and he or she also grumble that can not feel their affection existing anymore. Why? it is, to some extend, for that they do not realize they should change they every day life from being stagnation.No changed life tend to make people tired and loose interest. A report said the contemporary social problem of youth suicide is very seriously, and investigation shows the reason is mainly for the kids feel their life is no novel.If only they were taught how to absorb the fresh air into their life!
I would like to claim again, keeping old habits and enjoying a stated life are not bad also, what they need is to use another way to make their life positive.
