Can we really change people?

No. you cannot change people but i know you can suggest them or maybe you can show them the way you want them to be. Because if they can see you doing this thing to him/her maybe he/she think that why will you do this even he/she not doing good for you. By that time the people you want to change is changing him/her self by realizing that he/she doing bad things or doing nothing to the other people.

Yes you're right, one should be a good example and the others will follow. I myself have bad habits then that gradually changed and improved when I got married to my husband who is very, very patient with me. Whenever I asked him why he still married me despite the fact that he knew I had such negative traits, he will just laugh and tell me, there is nothing impossible in this world especially to someone who loves. You cannot change anybody just like that, it will have to come from within and being a good example is one of the best ways to do it.

hie roldango, i have learn to let go and i dont try to change others. they are steep in their own ways, values, norms,customs, cultures, upbringing home and family values, what is right and wrong, what is proper and not proper etc. some preach but do differently. so i learn to try change myself. in this way, i feel happier and fulfilled with life. i pray to Almighty God to change them in HIS ways. and i pray to GOD to change me too for the better. i have learn through the years to do my best and leave the rest to GOD.

At one time or another we have all come across people we would like to change. We always think it is possible but that person may not want to change. We may want this person to come around to views of the world. Try as we might, a person will not change unless it is something that they really want in their life.

There are a lot of ways where people are changed. The fact is deep down, there are things that can open the eyes to people and cause them to change. However, it is a slow process that will occur over time. It is not something that is going to be forced overnight. If changes happen soon, then they might only be temporary before people revert back to their old ways. Of course, if a person really does not want to change their ways, then they will not change their ways. They might put across as the illusion of change to get the people trying to change them to drop the issue. However, have they really changed? That is one thing that is unfortunately not as true that we want to be. So people will change when they are ready and if the issue is forced, there might only be the illusion of change.

not all the attention that we do will be a positive for him, change a human being can not be enforced

Yes, you are right Rol! We can only change people if we change ourselves as per people's sentiments and responsibilities! Change is life and it interprets progress by a disciplined and peaceful manner! All people are the real parts of a continuous change process that is always evolving in nature! Thanks for this nice topic and accept good changes!!

When I was young, I think I could change people. When I get older, I would only think of changing myself.

To be honest i would never try to change a person as i do not think that people can change if for the better or for the worse.I think it is like when we get married we get married to the person that we know rather than trying to change the person.A person can change but like in the past the change seems not to last for long as the person go back to how they were.

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I think we seldom can change the people that are usually have their mind. But we can change ourselves. if we can change ourselves to be a more quality ones ,and have more power inside our body. I think it will be OK for us to change others.

That is hard. Change should come from within the person. The person himself should have that determination to change for the better. However, it is sad to note that many people are hard to change because they do not acknowledge their weaknesses, or they just don't know that there is something wrong with them. Someone has got to point out their flaws, and in fact the person concerned should get a second opinion, should ask another person or another member of the family to confirm the truth. After that, he must face the problem and start to review his life and change for the better.

Depends on the situation or how we want to change the people. If the people want to change or to be helped in this change sure we can, is just dedicate in everything and try hard to make successful the change. But now if the people don't want to change, it is pretty hard to do this change. Sometimes is from the personality of the people what you want to change and that is the worst part of it.

No, we cannot change people for themselves. I cant force someone to be whom he/she is not, neither can someone force me to be someone I dont want to be. Change comes from within, and not because of the people around us.
