Each person with adequate self-esteem considers himself unique, he understands that he has qualities that he can be proud of, and for their presence he loves himself. To those manifestations of character that may not be the most useful, a person is tolerant, since there is an understanding that this is quite normal. If a person has a need to acquire some new skills or qualities, then with a high degree of probability he will strive to acquire them. In other words, a person will change himself in order to become better. And moreover, very often this "better" has a very specific description and benefits for a person. For example, having learned English, a person acquires useful skills and opportunities for career advancement, or simply the ability to travel the world without experiencing language difficulties. Will such changes be beneficial to humans? Definitely yes.
But quite often the attitude to changes in a person changes dramatically. When a conflict arises in a couple about some specific qualities of one of the partners, then most likely, and most often this causes a very strong resistance in the person. Both men and women are more inclined to perceive such statements as an attempt to change them against their will. It is this perception of the desire of one of the partners that leads to conflict. Not infrequently, in such cases, people use cliches that people do not change, that it is impossible to change parental attitudes. And to some extent they are right.
But if you look at the situation differently? If you ask yourself the question, what will change in the relationship after the changes take place? In most cases, people pay attention only to what the partner or partner will get, while they overlook what the person himself will receive. After all, many changes can be beneficial to the person himself, since after they occur, the attitude towards him also changes. For example, a man asks a woman to quit smoking, because he considers it unhealthy, and he, as a non-smoker, is simply unpleasant to kiss her. If a woman quits smoking, then she is doing better for her health, and the plus is the fact that the man will probably kiss her more often. Another example, a woman's request to a man not to abuse alcohol when fulfilling it may well lead to the fact that the man himself begins to feel both physically and psychologically better, and plus the woman's attitude towards him will most likely also change. Of course, the examples given are very simple, but the goal is to show how most of the changes are useful to the person himself, no less than to the partner or partner. Ultimately, given the opinion of the person who is nearby, the person changes for himself, and not for him. It's just that this is not always visible at first glance. It's not bad to ask yourself the question "What will I get if I change?"
It is important to learn to notice and appreciate the changes that occur with a person, and not to take them for granted as a process. Then the interaction and relationship between a man and a woman will have the opportunity to develop, delivering both him and her positive emotions and feelings.
Naturally, not everything needs to be changed and there are traits that really define a person's personality. But after all, it is quite possible to supplement them, the same can be done with parental attitudes, for a person in most cases they (these attitudes) have the force of peculiar laws. Laws cannot be violated, but they can be amended, in other words, supplemented. Thus, a person, while maintaining his individuality, also acquires traits that are useful in life and communication skills. After all, if your coffee is not sweet, it is easier to add sugar than to brew new one.
Live with joy!

Organizational Change Based On Arnold Beisser's Paradoxical Theory Of Change
To begin with, it is important to say a few words about A. Beisser's theory of change. In the original language, it reads as follows: change occurs when someone becomes who he is, but not when he tries to become who he is not … Change does not occur as a result of forced attempts by an individual to change or another person to change him, it occurs if the individual spends time and effort to be who he is - i.
