When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits,Idreamedof changing the world.
As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would notchange,so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change onlymycountry. But it, too, seemed immovable.
As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt,Isettled for changing only my family, those closest to me, butalas,they would have none of it.
And now, as I l ie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize :
If I had only changed myself first, then by example I wouldhavechanged my family.
From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then havebeenable to better my country, and who knows, I may have evenchangedthe world.
