Once upon a time a Chinese General wanted to change the world.
But before he could change the world, he realized he needed to change his country. He knew that if he changed his country that would have an impact on changing the world.
But before he could change his country, he realized he needed to change his province. He knew that if he changed his province that would have an impact on changing his country that would in turn have an impact on changing the world.
But before he could change his province, he realized he needed to change his village. He knew that if he changed his village that would have an impact on changing his province that would in turn have an impact on changing the country and ultimately have an impact on changing the world.
Soon he realized that before he could change his village, he realized he needed to change his family. For he knew that if he changed his family that would have an impact of changing his village that would in turn have an impact on changing his province, impacting his country and ultimately changing the world.
Finally, he came to the conclusion that by changing himself first, that would change his family, then his village, his province, impacting his country and ultimately changing the world.
The moral of the story, if you want to change the circumstances around you, first look within and begin changing or improving yourself.
After all, is there anyone you know who can’t benefit from a little self improvement?
