          In order for me to change, I should stop doing the things that is bad for my life and avoid the things that have no connection in my improvements. Setting realistic goals is very important, even in the simplest ways can help me change. Being close to positive vibes and positive people helps me to get nearer to my goals.           Being realistic is much better than just being optimistic. Acting it out is better rather than just thinking of it. Action is the key to make or to change something because nothing will happen if I will not act or move. To change myself, I first need to make a rule for myself to follow and have an objective. I may not entirely change the whole world but I know that I can make a difference someday.          The truth is, it is possible to change the world. But to change the world, we have to change ourselves first. If everyone of us is motivated to change for the better, surely it will have a big impact in this world that we are living in. "
