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 yeas, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for
changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.
And now as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize------
If I had changed myself first, then by example I could have changed my family. From their inspiration and
encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I may have even changed the world. |
