"When I was young I set out to change the world.
When I grew older I perceived that this was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my state.
This too, I realized as I grew older, was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my town.
When I realized that I could not do even this, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man I know that I should have started by changing myself.
If I had started with myself, maybe then I would have succeeded
in changing my family, the town, or even the state-
and who knows, maybe the world."

A Movie I wish to watch..

A movie released in year 2001.. and it's written in a book too; quite old, how come I never have seen it? Everybody should have.. I wish to know the full story because of a wonderful idea from a 7th grade school boy (a kid?) in the movie. His teacher surprised, his mum stunned and people salute him! An idea that could change the world, perhaps (if we believe..).. A friend of mine invited me to a workshop (which I was quite hesitated to go) last week, and therefore I met this movie, 'Pay It Forward', but then found it very inspiring and interesting! Thanks my friend.. I would regret for life if I missed the seminar or delayed to know about this movie.. Please feel free to get introduced to this Pay It Forward movement.
