Hi Miss Noor. Maybe this will be of help to you.� �(1) �(CHANGING THE FACE)�If �you were annoyed because someone had sent you a PM that hurt you, you would have a sad look on your face. �Even if you then tried to smile � (pretending to be happy) �it would change nothing because inside you would still be hurting. �So changing your face from a sad expression to a happy one would not change how you felt inside. (2) �(FACING THE CHANGE)��This means that when we are given new ideas or new ways to do things, �we are willing to accept the challenge of trying to make that change. i.e. �we are "facing the change." � �
Does that help you? Caroline�  |

Hi dear Noor,
A very good choice!!!
"Changing the face" means changing the outer appearances.
" Facing Changes" means to stand still and fight all the problems .
All in all, the saying means : Don �t complain about others; Change yourself if you want peace. It �s only when you have the will to fight back that the world around you would change.
Hugs,
Nebal |

Hi miss noor
1- "Changing the face" may mean changing the external looks, either by means of surgery or whatever. This certainly will change nothing. What should be really changed, however, is our inner looks rather than our external looks.
2- "Facing the change" is related to one �s self determination and decision. So if one is determined to face the change, he/she should use his/her inner power (contrary to force and muscles "external power") to change things around him/her
3- The message: If you want to change things around you, use your mind rather than your body/muscles.
Have a good day
