Starting
with Ourselves

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 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 I lie on my death bed, I suddenly realize: If only I had changed myself
first, then by example I would 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. ~Unknown
