Changing the world..

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 realized the word would not change… and I decided to shorten my sights, somewhat and change only my country, but it too seemed immovable.. As I entered my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I sought to change only my family, those closest to me, but alas they would have none of it. And now here I lie on my death bed and realize that if only I’d changed myself first, then by example I may have influenced my family, and with their encouragement and support. I may have bettered my country, and who knows, I may have changed the world.- Unknown
