Actually slight changes can make one’s life different. Those slight changes are more easily to put into action. To change the small parts rather than carry out a big plan for a series of big stuff can make people more likely to focus on it. Take changing the hair style for example. It is a pretty easy task to finish. When I feel happy, I am more willing to change the sheets, clean out some clutter to make my house look better and so on. After doing that, I can feel more control over my life. The small changes we achieve can also give us more confidence to achieve the big goals. The good results we get from the small changes can bring us a taste of successful pletion. Once a behavior has been developed into a habit, we are more likely to do it unconsciously. So start with small goals, for example to read five to ten pages of the book you think boring but really useful for you every day rather than force yourself to finish it in one day. That’s a wiser way to achieve the big goal. On the other hand, by making small changes, we may ask ourselves, ―How can I apply this process to the bigger thing that I want?‖ and then keep on going, especially when we find those changes can make us feel the power to make positive changes. Start with a small decision. Who knows where we will go far in the end? 44. Why does the author advise us to make slight changes first if we want to lead a new life? A. Because slight changes are more important. B. Because slight changes are easy to carry out.。
