They always say time changes things,but you actually have to change themyourself. - Andy Warhol Andy Warhol (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) He is an artist, printer, cinematographer, and also one of the leading figures in the visual art movement of Pop Art. He put a lot of effort into the film and the Velvet Underground, while most of his films are regarded as underground films. Andy Warhol believed that art was tied to money, and it is why he put many efforts on creating commercial art. His famous work Campbell's Soup Cans (1962), and Marilyn Diptych (1962) show new phase of art production. He tried to used screen-printing techniques to reproduce images, which are well-known objects or person, while repetition is also one of the features of his works. Andy Warhol was shot in 1968, seriously wounded but survived. On February 22, 1987, Andy Warhol finally died in a New York hospital at the age of 58 due to a drug allergy following gallbladder surgery. There is a museum built to keep his collection, which is called The Andy Warhol Museum. It is one of the 4 Carnegie museums, and the largest museum in the United States to honor a single artist. Part of his work: Campbell's Soup Cans by Andy Warhol, 1962. Displayed in Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Is it correct? Yes. The time here usually means the factor changed along time: - New technologies evolve - Relationships change - Living condition change - etc. When things around us change, we may also be affected and then change ourselves.. However, does it mean that we are also changed? As mentioned earlier, even if they are changing, it doesn't mean that we are blind to the fact that they must be affected by them. If we end up changing, it means that it is by our own choice to be changed. We will only be changed by time if we choose to actively change our thoughts, or choose to be changed by others. Everything is based on our own choices, not some passive action. This quote also want to tell us that: only you can help yourself. When things happen, it is actually meaningless if we just passively wait for time, i.e., when other incentives come to actively change us. Because only we can choose whether to be changed or not, and only we can help ourselves to be changed. After understanding that making changes is a better choice for us, we should actively try to accept the changes around us, and then change ourselves from there. However, in case we do not want to be affected, such as the target we have, even many things are changed, we can still choose to keep our mind reject to be changed. Choose to change or not by yourself instead of time.
