Change

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 only my own country.

But it, too, seemed immovable.

As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest 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 even have changed the world.

No idea where that quote is from, I got it off someone's somebody's somewhere blog in the wonderful world of the internet. Just a little thought to share for those of us who, you know, aren't on our deathbeds yet. Also a reminder for myself.

On a completely unrelated note;

CLOSE ENOUGH


Ok and it's off to work again for me. Buh bye!
