When I was a young, 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 town.
I couldn't change the town, so I figured I'd work on changing my family.
Now, as an older person I realize the only thing I can really change is myself. Then it hit me, if long ago I 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 the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.
