When i was a young man.

"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."

do watch it plz

well said Piyush, changing myself is the first step, if not today, world will follow you tomorrow, one day, you will be surprised to see.. the changes in the world, because of your initial step. A small story, one boy was eating plenty of sweets, his father asked the boy's teacher to convince the boy. teacher promised, he will do it after couple of weeks. And after 15 days, teacher succeeded to bring a change in the boy. his father was happy but asked the teacher, why he asked for weeks time, the answer was., that teacher too had the habit of having more sweets in a day. but the teacher wanted to change himself first, then after weeks, he tried to teach his student. For a better change.. I have to be the first one to change. Thankyou piyush for a great thought. keep sharing ..

Harini ji I have also heard the same story but the Teacher was Mahatma Gandhi ji.
