CHANGE YOURSELF

I wanted to change the world

 

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.

I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.

Now, as an old man, 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 my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the WORLD
