Theme
When I was young,I dreamed of changing the world.
As I grew older and wiser, I decided to change only my country.
As I grew into my twilight years(暮光之年), I settled for changing only my family.

And now, as I lie on my death bed, I realize:
If I had only changed myself first,
I would have changed my family.
I would then have been able to better my country,
and I may have even changed the world.
