Читать книгу From Me to We - Garner Janine - Страница 7

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 and decided to change only my country. But it too seemed immovable. As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing my family – those closest to me – but alas they would have none of it. And now as I lie on my deathbed I suddenly realise if I had only changed myself first then by example I would have changed my family. From their inspiration and encouragement I would have been able to better my country and who knows I may have even changed the world.
