“When I was young, I wanted to change the
world. I found it difficult to change the world,
So I tried to change my nation.
When I found I couldn’t change my nation, I
Began to focus on my town. I couldn’t change
The town and as I got older, I tried to change
my family.
Now that I am old, I realize the only thing I can
Change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if
long ago I had changed myself, I could have
made an impact on the town. Their impact
could have changed the nation and I could
indeed have changed the world.”
