An Inspirational Short Story with Wisdom
I Wanted To Change The
World
By Unknown Monk, 1100 A.D. 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.”

after ten years, throw it away and start all over. ” Alfred Edward Perlman
