The Most Difficult Thing in Life: To Change

To change is extremely difficult. People, most of the time, want to reach one successful point where they can remain strong and happy. In a lot of cases, it requires to change something to reach that point. For example, to overcome an addiction. No matter which steps does a person follows in order to do that, he or she need to change something. In other cases in which people are not happy in their jobs, they would need to quit as soon as possible. However, when they see that their families, and even them, need the money they earn there, it becomes quite impossible to quit.

What about those times when changes doesn’t come from the own intention of the person but because of outside situations? To change should be a decision of the own will.

One Good Advise for New and Experienced Writers

A good way to improve your writing skills is to sit down in a place, watch around and try to write a description of each detail of the place. As you write the description, and as things start to get moving and changing its place, you will try to narrate the changes as they happen. To describe and to narrate at the same time? It sounds difficult, maybe crazy, and there are some details that you would not be able to describe because they changed so quickly, but if you do this exercise more than once, you will describe and narrate more and more details.

For example, why not to describe an university campus? You could start writing just the physical description of what you see, and later you write a narration of the changes. Or you could do both things on the go. Anyways, you will notice that even the detail that seems to be easier to be described will take more than a page of your notebook.
