When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits,Idreamedof
changing the world.
As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would notchange,so I
shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change onlymycountry. But it,
too, seemed immovable.
As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt,Isettled for
changing only my family, those closest to me, butalas,they would have none of
it.
And now, as I l ie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize :
If I had only changed myself first, then by example I wouldhavechanged my
family.
From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then havebeenable to better
my country, and who knows, I may have evenchangedthe world.
譯文是：
當我年輕的時候，我的想像力從沒有受到過限制，我夢想改變這個世界。
當我成熟以後，我發現我不能改變這個世界，我將目光縮短了些，決定只改變我的國家。
當我進入暮年後，我發現我不能改變我的國家，我的最後願望僅僅是改變一下我的家庭。
但是，這也不可能。
當我躺在床上，行將就木時，我突然意識到：
如果一開始我僅僅去改變我自己，然後作為一個榜樣，我可能改變我的家庭；在家人的幫
助和鼓勵下，我可能為國家做一些事情。然後誰知道呢？我甚至可能改變這個世界。
