You can't change the world alone

You will need some help

If every one of you changed the lives of just ten people

And each one of those people changed the lives of another ten people

And another ten

Then in five generations you will have changed the lives

Of eight hundred million people

Go one more generation

And you can change the entire population of the world

Eight billion people

If you want to change the world

Start each day with a task completed

Find someone to help you through life

Respect everyone

Know that life is not fair and that you will fail often

Face down the bullies, lift up the downtrodden

And never, ever give up

If you want to change the world

You must be your very best in the darkest moments

One person can change the world by giving people hope

If you do these things, the next generation will live in a world

Far better than the one we have today

And what started here will indeed have changed the world for the better

Life is filled with circuses

You will fail

You will likely fail often

It will be painful

It will be discouraging

At times it will test you to your very core

But if you want to change the world, don't be afraid of the circuses

Nothing matters but your will to succeed

Not your color, not your ethnic background

Not your education, not your social status

If I have learned anything in my time travelling the world

It is the power of hope

One person can change the world by giving people hope
