Inspirational speech

Change the world, start by changing yourself...


In the tombstone forest in the basement of the world-famous Westminster Abbey, there is a world famous tombstone.

In fact, this is just a very common tombstone, rough granite texture, and very general shape, with more than 20 former British king tombstones such as Henry III and George II, who are superior in quality and workmanship, and Newton and Darwin. Compared with the tombstones of celebrities such as Dickens, it seems insignificant and worth noting. And it has no name, no birth and death, or even the introduction text of the tomb.

However, it is such an anonymous tombstone, but it has become a famous tombstone famous in the world. Everyone who has been to Westminster Abbey, they can not visit the former British kings who have been so prominent, can not worship the world famous people such as Dickens, Darwin, but they do not come. Thanks to this ordinary tombstone, they were deeply shocked by this tombstone. To be precise, they were deeply shocked by the inscription on this tombstone. On this tombstone, engraved with such a passage:

When I was young, my imagination was never restricted, and I dreamed of changing the world.

When I was mature, I found that I could not change the world. I shortened my eyes and decided to change only my country.

When I entered the leap year, I found that I could not change my country. My last wish was to change my family. However, this is not possible.

When I was lying in bed, when I was in the woods, I suddenly realized that if I only changed myself at first, then as an example, I might change my family; with the help and encouragement of my family, I might do something for the country. thing.

Then who knows? I may even change the world.

It is said that many world politicians and celebrities are very impressed when they see this inscription. Some people say that this is a doctrine of life. Some people say that this is a kind of introspection of the soul. When the young Mandela saw this inscription, he suddenly felt the feeling of waking up, claiming that he had found the golden key to change South Africa and even the whole world. After returning to South Africa, this ambitious, black-minded youth who originally agreed to break the racial discrimination gap, suddenly changed his own thinking and life style, he started to change himself, change his family and friends, experience For decades, he finally changed his country.

Really, if you want to pick up the world, its best fulcrum is not the earth, not a country, a nation, not others, but only its own soul.

To change the world, you must start by changing yourself; to pick up the world, you must choose the fulcrum in your own mind.
