The Power of Change | Tim Liu | TEDxBrighouse


what has changed into you what kind of
changes have made you who you are now
Paul has changed affected your life
there are changes happening every day in
every person’s life whether you notice
it or not there’s change happening right
now think about the person you were 10
years ago
are you that same person or your values
and responsibilities different or your
perspectives on life different we
encounter changes every day we change
our clothes student change their majors
we change our routines that have it over
time we all change sometimes without
even realizing it today’s change every
24 hours the months change every three
days and over the years we all change –
this changes our opinions on things and
the decisions that we make some opinions
may be positive others might be negative
I think we should all focus on the
positive changes in life because it
motivates and makes us happier let me
tell you a story of how moving how
focusing on positive change made me
happier and motivated me to achieve my
goals I was six year old when my family
decided to move to Canada somewhere else
as an eight last summer was one of the
most difficult times I’d ever
experienced which I believe made Who I
at the beginning I didn’t know why I
moved to Canada I didn’t see the benefit
or even just a reason to be China
I had a stable life there and even
though I was very young I had an
understanding of who I was in China I
just completed kindergarten and was on
my way to go to elementary school I
gotten used to school routines and how
to be a good tiny student I also make a
connection to my friends and neighbors
I have adapted to my environment however
during that summer my family’s only told
me that we were gonna go to a different
country at that time I’m not even sure
if I knew other countries existed all I
know was that my parents were telling me
that our life which was gonna change for
the better it wasn’t my decision it
when I arrived in Vancouver I
immediately noticed the difference
between China and Canada everything was
in English such as the signs on the
airport the words on the books more
noticeably and 4u1 around me with
speaking English I had no clue what they
were saying I felt like I didn’t belong
here after a few weeks of selling to my
new environment school would have begun
I remember feeling nervous for my first
day of school in Canada the school was
so much bigger than my previous
kindergarten and I had and I was nervous
and wasn’t able to communicate with
others
I was anxious or my language barrier and
even though I couldn’t communicate with
others I wanted to talk to them I felt
lonely and out of place like a fish out
of water I soon learned that I needed to
adjust to my hardships and the new
society I’m living in in order to feel
comfortable yet eventually as I learned
English I became more comfortable in
myself I had adopted one of the biggest
challenges in my life after reflecting
on my past I chose to focus on the
positives of moving to Canada and how
that gave me a new opportunity for me to
learn new things and grow this change
and the adjustment I went through let me
to understand why the change to Canada
was needed I’m grateful for the live of
now and the future opportunities I will
have because of living in this question
I want to suggest to you that who you
are today is a result of the changes
that you made in the past who your
tomorrow are going to be are going to be
the result of the changes that you make
today think about the person you want to
be in 10 years
think about where you want to be and
what you want to do if there’s one thing
you take away from my presentation is
that there are changes all around us
some are negative some are positive I
want to encourage you to focus on
positive changes in life rather than the
negative ones because that made me drive
in Canada and I am positive this idea will help you live a happier life
