I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.
If you want to change the world, be that change.
If you want to change the world, change yourself.
If you want to change the world, make something beautiful.

If you want to change the world, help the women.
If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.
You don't have to start from scratch to do something interesting. You don't have to start from scratch to have a massive impact on the world. You have to have a good idea. You have to convince other people of those good ideas. And you have to push as quickly as possible.
We can learn that reward comes in creation and re-creation, no just in the consumption of the world around us. Active participation in the process of creation is our right and our privilege. We can learn to measure the success of our ideas not by our bank accounts by their impact on the world.

Each person has the potential of making a positive impact on the world. It all depends on what you do with what you have. Success is not to be measured by the amount of money you possess or the position you attain but rather in how you use both.
