当我年轻的时候,我的想象力从没有受到过限制,我梦想改变这个世界。
当我成熟以后,我发现我不能改变这个世界,我将目光缩短了些,决定只改变我的国家。
当我进入暮年后,我发现我不能改变我的国家,我的最后愿望仅仅是改变一下我的家庭。但是,这也不可能。
当我躺在床上,行将就木时,我突然意识到:如果一开始我仅仅去改变我自己,然后作为一个榜样,我可能改变我的家庭;在家人的帮助和鼓励下,我可能为国家做一些事情。然后谁知道呢?我甚至可能改变这个世界。
When Iwasyoung and free and my imagination had no limits,I dreamed of changingtheworld.
As Igrewolder and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortenedmysights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it, too,seemedimmovable.
As Igrewinto my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled forchangingonly my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none ofit.
Andnow, as Ilie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize:
If Ihad onlychanged myself first, then by example I would have changed myfamily.
Fromtheirinspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better mycountry,and who knows, I may have even changed the world.
