Hey, Change the Life? Change the World?(AW)

AHey, Change the Life? Change the World?
Recently, I have been reading some books. In one book, an idea impresses me a lot. The author asks “How do you want to be remembered by others?” That is to say, what do you want people to say about you when they come to your grave? It is really a matter. And I ask myself for many times. Finally I realize that there is really something I can do to change my life and even the world.
In fact, this issue has something to do with our values. Guided by different values, people usually lead distinctive lives. Maybe it is not a right-or-wrong matter since there are different views among people. But for me, I always get so excited to change my life. Furthermore, it is usually a pleasure for me to change others’ too. I do not like an ordinary life which is restricted by others. Maybe that is why I reject to play computer games. I am keen to expose myself to excellent ideas and find ways to improve. On top of that, I usually ask myself, “How can you do for others?” To a great extent, my values lie in how many people can be influenced by me and how much can I influence them.
Compared with changing others, changing myself seems much easier. However, the latter is the foundation. Normally, there are two ways to complete that. Just as is said, “You will remain yourself 10 years later except two things: the books you read and the people you meet.” Some books present the author’s accomplishments after many years’ hand work. So it can save a lot of time for me in my exploration of life. It is the same with people. The more people I meet, the more ideas I come across.
Once, I sent an SMS to one of my friends. It said, “Hey, Have you ever thought about changing the world? I think we can do something interesting and unusual.” Changing the world sounds that huge for us. But we really can do it. Actually we are doing it in our daily lives. Because the things are small, we tend to ignore them. So we need to find the things interest us a lot and try to do it. Try to make more changes to this world.
Life is so precious. For one of us, there is only one chance to lead a life. As is said, “Our lives are the accumulation of our choices.” To put it in another way, we can make choices to lead a life that we want. The life is so exciting because we can change it.

  1. Haha, what a bossy and controly class monitor! you even have the ambition to influence as many as possible people! you have the protential to become a high-positoned governor!
    Anyway, I am just joking.To influence people and change the wolrd is just your own opinion. I should say that if you really have this prospective you will really have to put a lot effort into it since changing yourself is already that hard let alone changing others. what is more, your reason of not playing computer games is so fascinating. maybe I can learn a lesson from it.
