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 both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Many believe in leading a stable life and are reluctant to incorporate any alterations in their routines, whereas an army of people thinks that change is necessary. Both these perspectives need a deeper analysis.
A school of thought believes that change is extremely essential for continuous progress. It means grasping the right opportunities to upgrade oneself. For instance, In a recent survey conducted by The ITC Employee Welfare group 85% of the employees believe that it is necessary to upgrade their skills and knowledge in order to lead a better quality of life. In a similar manner, a majority of businesses keep implementing different strategies and techniques for raising their clientele base and revenues. Therefore, in order to achieve success and progress, one needs to innovate their way of working.
However, there is another section that is quite conservative in its approach and is averse to the very hint of modifying their methods and lifestyles: they are comfortable in leading the same routine and are accustomed to it, for they fear that they might have to invest extensive efforts or start afresh, and also become vulnerable to failures. In a recent survey conducted by The Times of India, mainly those nearing retirement were reluctant to transform their ways of negotiating their work as they felt it might hamper their last years of service record. Similarly, the aged are not open to adapting to the changed paradigm since they are comfortable with their old ways as they find it hard to learn and cope with modern techniques.
Overall, both sides cite plausible reasons to support their views, but even so I strongly believe that change is inevitable and is necessary. It is the dynamism of change that has made the world a better place to live.
