HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD
When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it too seemed immovable. As I grew into my twilight years, in one desperate attempt, I settled for only changing my family, those closest to me. But alas, they would have none of it. And now as I lie on my death bed, I suddenly realize if I had only changed myself first, then by example, I would have changed my family. From their inspiration and encouragement, I would have been able to better my country, and who knows, I may have changed the world.
