"When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
I found it difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town.
I couldn't change my town and, as an older man, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man, I realize the one thing I can change is myself,
and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself,
I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I
could have made an imoact on out town. Their impact could indeed have
changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world."
