In the past, I remember saying to myself, and to some people (especially during job interview :P) that I dream to make this world a better place, especially in regards to access to education and increasing the standard of life in Indonesia.
Yet, I realise, that I sometime focus more on the big picture to make the world a better place rather than to make my little world, my surrounding a better place.
I tend to forget to be kind to my colleagues, to greet my neighbours, or just to forgive some people that unintentionally hurted me.
This song by Alain Clark (anyway, he is Dutch) has moved my heart, especially this following lyric in this song:
I don't wanna change the world
I just wanna make a difference
Something like being good to the man next door even if he's different
And I don't have to be a leader
I just wanna lead a life
That one of these days I can look back on and say I did alright
So, now I hope I can start changing the world by first changing myself :)
