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 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 deathbed, I suddenly
realize: If I had only 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.

YEP!! Lesson well learned, even on a death bed, but certainly well taken and even THAT is a daunting job, right?
