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 town.  I couldn’t change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my fam­ily.  Now, as an old man, I real­ize the only 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 impact on our town.  Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.  ~Author Unknown
