When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing theworld.
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 grewinto my twilight years, 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 llie 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 in spiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country,
and who knows, I may have even changed the world.
