Change the Unchangeable

By Anita Huang

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I’m more than happy today to be here and share with you some of my thoughts about the topic “change the unchangeable”.

Many of you know an old saying in China, “The sky shall rain, and my mother shall marry.” It indicates that there are things in this world that are unchangeable. However, if we change our visual angle, things may look different. Travel to another place, and you may escape the coming rain. Talk to your mother, and you may stop her from marrying.

In life, we often come by things with an “unchangeable” tag. But actually, the tag is only our own perception. Once our perception changes, the unchangeable shall be changed.

In the long history of China, male has always been thought as to be the only sex that may become emperor, and this rule has always been regarded as unchangeable after it was made. However, there was Wu Zetian, who was always remembered as the women that changed this unchangeable system. She leaped over the “unchangeable law”.

What I’m trying to say is, there really isn’t anything truly “unchangeable” in this world.

“Unchangeable” is not a state of reality, but only an excuse for cowards. Let me explain it more specifically. When you have the desire to change something, and you actually did something to change it, then even if the end isn’t what you think it should be, you have already made a difference. For Wu Zetian, changing the system was never something done in a single day. Every step was precisely measured, and every step counts. Change is a state of motion, even if it’s as small as a flap of a butterfly’s wings, it may create a tsunami. So stop moaning and don’t complain, fetch what you regard as unchangeable, go and make the difference, change it now, and change it fast.

In the end, I’d like to sum this all up with the lyrics of the song Hall of Fame, “You can throw your hands up, you can beat the clock, you can move the mountain, you can break rocks, you can be a master, don’t wait for luck, dedicate yourself and you can find yourself.” So change the unchangeable, because you change it the moment you try.

第二篇：Change the Unchangeable(改变无法改变的)

Change the Unchangeable（改变无法改变的）

女生们，先生们，老师们，同学们，大家好！

你能改变时间让我们回到从前吗?你不能，你能改变地球不再发生地震吗？你不能，因为这些都是自然规律，我们不能改变，整天忧愁与那些我们无法改变的事实，不如不断改变那些我们能够改变的，来实现我们的目标和理想。

我们无法改变自己的出身，但可以把握机会改变自己的命运！

我没有出生在资产过百万的城市家庭里，而是一个农村家庭的贫困生；我没有理想中的一米八以上的完美身高，而是一个中等身高；我不是那种迷倒万千佳丽的美男子，而是一副笨呆状的大众脸。这些先天的条件我们无法改变，何必痛苦的纠结于这些我们无法改变的事实呢，我们可以改变心态，化不足为动力，增强自己其他方便的能力，多读书，提高自己的修养；学点音乐美术，丰富自己才艺；言谈举止，得体帅气。相信我们改变自己对生活的态度，以乐观的心态，向着可以实现的目标前进，我们终会成功的。

我们不得不承认，有许多名人在改变自我价值的定位中成就了自己的一番事业。

虽然邓小平同志，身高仅有1.52米，但并不影响他能成为中国改革开放的总设计师；马云能成为目前中国的首富，并不是因为其父亲马来法是浙江杭州民间戏剧协会的负责人；“小苹果”这首歌能够这么流行，也不是因为“筷子兄弟”组合这两个人外表有多帅气。那么问题来了，你认为他们成功的关键因素是做了什么改变？

最后，我想劝告大家，生活中有许多东西我们无法改变，与其幻想改变那些我们无法改变的事实，不如脚踏实地的做些我们可以把握的改变。

感谢各位朋友的倾听！
