當(dāng)我年輕的時(shí)候，我的想象力從沒(méi)有受到過(guò)限制，我夢(mèng)想改變這個(gè)世界。

當(dāng)我成熟以后，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我不能改變這個(gè)世界，我將目光縮短了些，決定只改變我的國(guó)家。

當(dāng)我進(jìn)入暮年后，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我不能改變我的國(guó)家，我的最后愿望僅僅是改變一下我的家庭。但是，這也不可能。

當(dāng)我躺在床上，行將就木時(shí)，我突然意識(shí)到：如果一開(kāi)始我僅僅去改變我自己，然后作為一個(gè)榜樣，我可能改變我的家庭；在家人的幫助和鼓勵(lì)下，我可能為國(guó)家做一些事情。然后誰(shuí)知道呢？我甚至可能改變這個(gè)世界。

原文：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 my self 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.
