Once there was a boy who had a dream, a dream to make this world a better a place and this is His Story.........
At age 15......."I have a dream, and I am going to fulfill my dream. I want to make this world a better place"
At age 35......"The world is too big for me, I am going to make my country a better place"
At age 50....."Even my country is difficult to change, I am going to make my state a better place"
At age 60....."I am gettng old and my state is a pretty big place, I will make this city a better place."
At age 75....."I think I am going to just stick with my neighbourhood and make it a better place to live in."
At his deathbed......"All these years I have been trying to make this world around me a better place but I have failed, if only I had started by trying to make myself a better man maybe I would have atleast succeeded in making some part of the world better."
If you were to start making this world a better place, first start making yourself a better person. You can't be a better Indian without being a better human.
Food for thought:
How much better should one become, do we have a scale where we measure our goodness and then decide that is good enough I can now start to make this world better?
If you are going to spend your enitre life to make yourself better, when will you start making the world better?
My answers:
Don't wait till you become a better man and then start working towards a better world, when you become a better man that itself makes the world better. You will always learn something new about yourself as life goes on, so whatever you want to do to make this world better do it while also working to make yourself a better man. Don't wait till your last breath to realise that.
