Start With YourselF


       When i was young and free and my imagination had no limits,    I dreamed of changing the world.     As i grew older and wiser,  I discovered the world would not change.    So i shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change my country.    But it,  too, seemed immovable.   As i grew into my twilight years, in one last desprate attempt,  I  settled for changing only my family, those closer to me,   but alas, they would have none of it.    And now as i lie on my deathbed,  I suddenly realize;   iF i had only changed myself first, then by example    I  would have changed my family.    From their inspiration and encouragement,    I would then have been able to better my country and,  who knows,    I may have even changed the world.
