Operate your potential

Destroy negative attitude

Now, as an elderly person I realise the only thing I can

change is myself.

When I was an 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 could’nt 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.

And suddenly I realise 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 have changed the world.
