The real power of change in a nation


MANY people want change to better their lives. Some pray to God for change. Some hope that their children will change things for them. Many more hope other people will change so that change can occur. There are also those who believe that if they vote a new political party into government, change for the better will come.

I sincerely and truly don’t believe in any one of these methods to realise change. Why? Because the only element missing, which is the only element that matters and counts, is ourselves, the one who wants change.
