Changes offer us varieties that keep us interested in our life and work. Because the world is developing rapidly, some vocations may become obsolete. Correspondingly, some new favorable opportunities may arise. If you are not satisfied with the work you are doing, you have the right to replace it.
On the other hand, sticking to one single job prevents us from gaining new experience and embracing new challenges. For a new job, we can learn something new and get new chances to fully discover and develop our potential. But doing a job permanently may trap ourselves into following the beaten track and make us reluctant to take risks and innovate, thus hindering us from tapping our potential to the full.
I am willing to change my job if a better opportunity comes along. When I find a position where I can fully display my talents, I will settle down and commit myself to it.
