分享一個故事：
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 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 have even changed the world.
當我年輕自由的時候，我的想像力沒有任何局限，我夢想改變這個世界。當我漸漸成熟明智的時候，我發現這個世界是不可能改變的，于是我將眼光放得短淺了一些，那就只改變我的國家吧！但是我的國家似乎也是我無法改變的。
當我到了遲暮之年，抱著最后一絲希望，我決定只改變我的家庭、我親近的人，但是，唉！他們根本不接受改變。
現在臨終之際，我才突然意識到：如果起初我只改變自己，接著我就可以依次改變我的家人。然后，在他們的激發和鼓勵下，我也許就能改變我的國家。再接下來，誰又知道呢，也許我連整個世界都可以改變。”
這是一段墓志銘：來自在英國斯威敏斯教堂地下室里，英國圣公會主教的墓碑。
很多時候，我們總想改變世界，卻不愿從改變及自己開始，但愿每個看到這個短文的朋友，在生命的最后旅程不在有這樣的感嘆！
