- 70. Change This in turn could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world… When I was young, I wanted to change the world. I found this difficult, so I tried to change my nation. When I couldn‟t do this, I began to focus on my town. This too proved a daunting task, so as a middle-aged man, I tried to change my family, in vain. Now as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself. Suddenly, it became clear that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have had an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town.
