人間が変わる。以前の習慣がなくなるし、新しい習慣をつける。人間の一部は変わる、人間の一部は変わらない。友人と家族の関係、健康、生活、仕事、精神的衝撃、言語と文化の変換はその変わりの主要因です。

As we grow older we change in some ways and remain the same in others. Just how much we change depends on many factors including our friendships, family ties, personal health, living and work conditions, traumatic experiences, the languages that we speak, and the cultures in which we live. I have experienced change in all of these areas. Still, I recognize in me much of what I have always been.
