真的,要想撬起世界,它的最佳支点不是地球,不是一个国家、一个民族,也不是别人,而只能是自己的心灵。
要想改变世界,你必须从改变你自己开始;要想撬起世界,你必须把支点选在自己的心灵上。
附原文:
When Iwasyoung and free and my imagination had no limits,I dreamed ofchangingtheworld.
As Igrewolder and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so Ishortenedmysights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it,too,seemedimmovable.
As Igrewinto my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settledforchangingonly my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have noneofit.
Andnow, as Ilie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize:
If Ihad onlychangedmyself first, then by example I would have changed myfamily.
Fromtheirinspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to bettermycountry,and who knows, I may have even changed the world.
