A Grave Inscription

When I was young and free, when my dreams were endless, I wanted to change the world. As I got older and wiser, I realized that the world wouldn't change.
So I decided to limit my dreams a little, just to change my hometown. But he didn't seem to change either.
When I got really old, I tried with a last effort to change only my family, those closest to me. But unfortunately I couldn't accept that either.
Now, as I lay on my deathbed, I suddenly realized that if I had changed myself first, I could have changed my family as an example to them.
With the courage and inspiration from them, I could take my country further.
Who knows, maybe I could even change the world.
