A Reflection on Change

"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. When I found that I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town, and as an older man I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing that I can change is myself, and suddenly I realized that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made on 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." -- Author Unknown
