Changing the world.

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was 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 own town.

I couldn't change the town as an older man, I tried to change my family, but I found out that I couldn't.

Now, as an old man, I realise the only thing I can change is myself; and suddenly I realised that if long ago had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family.

My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed he nation and I could indeed have changed the world.
