要想改變世界，必須從改變自己開始；要想撬起世界，必須把支點選在自己的心靈上

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.

當我年輕的時候，我的想像力從沒有受到過限制，我夢想改變這個世界。

當我成熟以後，我發現我不能改變這個世界，我將目光縮短了些，決定只改變我的國家。

當我進入暮年後，我發現我不能改變我的國家，我的最後願望僅僅是改變一下我的家庭。但是，這也不可能。

當我躺在床上，行將就木時，我突然意識到：

如果一開始我僅僅去改變我自己，然後作為一個榜樣，我可能改變我的家庭；在家人的幫助和鼓勵下，我可能為國家做一些事情。然後誰知道呢？我甚至可能改變這個世界。
