A friend wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. He felt hopeless at the time. He ended his letter with this question "We can't really change this crazy world we live in, can we?" I replied to him and started my own letter with these words, "Yes, we most certainly can!"
I can still remember someone who changed my world. She was a music teacher at my primary school. She was good at playing the guitar. I wanted to impress her. However, I didn't know how to play any instrument.
One day, she let me try playing her guitar. I did my best, but could only stumble along(断断续续). When I had done, I put my head down. "I guess I am not very good, "I told her. She looked at me with her kind eyes, smiled at me and said, "We are all good at something. You just need to find out what you are good at. Then, you can share it with the world."
Those simple words changed me. They planted a seed(种子)in my soul that continues to grow to this day. They made me realize that I had something good inside me. I just had to find it and share it.
Can you change the world? Yes, you can! You can change it through one choice. one person, or one kind act at a time. All you have to do is to share your goodness. Mother Teresa once said, "God doesn't ask us to do great things, only small things with great love." So make your love great!
