from a random monk who lived 900 years ago:
出处是一位900年前的游行僧
When I was a young man,
年少时
I wanted to change the world.
我想要改变世界
I found it was difficult to change the world,

When I found I couldn't change the nation,
当我发现自己不能改变国家
I began to focus on my town.
我便致力于改变自己的家乡
I couldn't change the town
仍不能如愿
and as an older man,
我已垂垂老矣
I tried to change my family.
我试着改变自己的家人
Now, as an old man,
如今，年老体衰
I realize
我才明白
the only thing I can change is myself,
我唯一能改变的就是自己
and suddenly I realize that
我突然意识到
if long ago I had changed myself,
如果多年前我曾改变自己
I could have made an impact on my family.
或许我会对家人造成很大的影响
My family and I could have made an impact on our town.
