التّحوّل" عملية تطوّر الكائن بعد الولادة ليمرّ بمراحل يتخلّلها العديد من الأطوار الّتي تجعله مميّزًا، الفراشة هي أحد الكائنات الّتي تمرّ في هذه العمليّة حيث أنّها تبدأ كيرقة، هيئتها يصعب تفريقها عن الدّيدان، لكن عند نضوجها تصبح كائنًا صغير الحجم يجوب من مكان إلى آخر بلا قيود، يجذب العيون بألوان أجنحته الجذّابة. من الصّعب التّفكير أنّ كائنًا حرًّا مثل الفراشة كان يومًا ما محبوسًا في شرنقةٍ غير قادرٍ على التّحليق أو حتّى على الحراك، لربّما أنّ هذا التّحوّل يأخذ وقتاً من عمر هذا الحيوان، إلّا أنّ هذا الجمال و التّميّز ما كنّا لنراه لولا تلك المرحلة، فاتّخذنا منها رمزاً للتّغيير، لنتحدّث عن أهمّيّة التّغيير في حياة الإنسان و ناتج تقبّله عندما يطرق بابنا و نرحّب به، دون الخوف منه و إن بدا على صورة غير اعتياديّة، فما هو جمال الفراشة إن لم تتقبّل التّغيير؟
اخترنا الفراشة رمزًا لإيصال فكرتنا عن دون أيّ حيوان آخر يمرّ في عمليّة التّحوّل، ليس فقط لجمالها، بل أيضًا لإدخال مفهوم أثر الفراشة على موضوع التّغيير، لتوضيح أنّ التّغيير يبدأ بشيء بسيط، فكرة بسيطة، عمل بسيط…
فأثر الفراشة كما قال الشّاعر محمود درويش:
(أَثر الفراشة لا يُرَى
أَثر الفراشة لا يزولُ)
،فحسب نظريّة تأثير الفراشة أنّ الأحداث متناهية الصّغر، قد تشكّل نتائج هائلة الاتّساع، فرفرفة جناحي فراشةٍ في الصّين قد يتسبّب عنه فيضاناتٍ وأعاصيرَ ورياحٍ هادرةٍ في أبعد الأماكن في أمريكا! مصطلح تأثير الفراشة هو استعارةٌ لفظيّةٌ تُستخدم للتّعبير عن نظريّة "الفوضى"، وهي نظريّة فلسفيّة فيزيائيّة تعتقد بأنّ الأسباب الصّغيرة لها تأثيرٌ واضحٌ على النّتائج في المدى البعيد.
و اتّخذنا من هذا فكرةَ موضوعِ يومنا لنذكّر الجميع بأهمّيّة عدم الاستخفاف بالأعمال الّتي يقومون بها، وإن بدت صغيرة و لا تسوى شيئًا، فأكبر إنجازات حياتك يمكن أن تبدأ من تغيّرٍ صغيرٍ، هذا التّغيّر يمكن أن يكون باستيقاظك باكرًا أو ترتيب غرفتك، أو أي تغيّرٍ تشجّعه على مستوى عائلتك أو أصدقائك. فابدأ التّغيير من داخلك، ثمّ اجعله كدائرة تتّسع مع الوقت لتشمل جميع من حولك، فإذا أردت أن تغيّر من حولك عليك البدء من نفسك.
Metamorphosis is the evolution of an organism after birth by going through several stages interspersed with many incidences that contribute to the refinement of its personality. The butterfly is one of the most beautiful animals that go through this process, when it’s in the larva phase, it might be hard to distinguish from a normal worm or bug, but it matures and transforms to an astonishing small creature wandering from one place to another, gaining attention with its attractive and delicate wings, it’s hard to imagine that such creature was once confined in a pupa, unable to fly or even move! Metamorphosis might have taken quite a while of this animal’s life but the outcome of this process is what makes this creature special and exhilarating, we chose this process to be a metaphor for change, to talk about how important change is in the human life, why it is important for us to accept change and welcome it, not fear it, but appreciate it and grow our own colourful wings with our own print.

We chose the butterfly to represent our theme not only because of it’s beauty and it’s amazing transformation but also to include the butterfly effect concept which is “the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. that a small change can make much bigger changes happen” This effect theorises that a hurricane in China can be the result of a butterfly flapping its wings in New Mexico. It may take a very long time, but the connection is theorized to be real. If the butterfly had not flapped it’s wings at just the right point in space/time, the hurricane would not have happened.
This so-called "butterfly effect" is used to explain why chaotic systems like the weather can't be predicted more than a few days in advance, and that’s what’s known as the “Chaos Theory”
And from these ideas our topic of this day emerged, and our mission is to remind you of the importance of not underestimating the work you do, even if it seems small and not worthy of anything. The greatest achievements in your life can start from a small change. This change can be as simple as waking up early or making your bed. This change that came from within you will radiate to the people around you, and so on, making you the first hand in a great change that will expand throughout your life and the lives of the ones that surround you, because if you want to change what’s around you, you have to start within yourself.
