Change the world
Once upon a time a man set out to change the world. Before long he discovered that the world was far too big for one person to change. So he decided to change his country.
Crooked politicians and special interest groups unfortunately thwarted his efforts, so he decided to change his neighborhood. But his neighbors simply closed their doors and shut their windows. So he decided to change his family. Instead of changing, his children rebelled and his wife threatened a divorce, and things only got worse.
Finally the man decided to change himself. And when he did that, he changed the world

Wow – timely – I’ve been divorced, my kids rebelled, and now I am looking in the mirror and realizing this is the hardest change of all….
