【古今中外的真理，都是叫你要管好自己】
道家「內聖外王」、儒家「大學之道，在明明德，止於至善」「修身齊家治國平天下」。起手卻是最難的！若是做不好，也別給大家添亂了...

在倫敦聞名世界的威斯敏斯特大教堂地下室的墓碑林中，有一塊名揚世界的墓碑。墓碑上刻著這樣的一段話：
When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits,I dreamed of changing the world.
【當我年輕的時候，我的想像力從沒有受到過限制，我夢想改變這個世界】
As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it, too, seemed immovable.
【當我長大以後，我發現我不能改變這個世界，我將目光縮短了些，決定只改變我的國家】
As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.
【當我進入晚年後，我發現我不能改變我的國家，我的最後願望僅僅是改變一下我的家庭。但是最終，還是做不到】
And now, as Iie on my death bed, I suddenly realize:If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.
【當我躺在床上即將斷氣前，我突然意識到： 如果一開始我僅僅去改變我自己，然後作為一個榜樣，我可能改變我的家庭】
From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country, and who knows, I may have even changed the world.
【然後在家人的幫助和鼓勵下，我可能為國家做一些事情。然後誰知道呢？我甚至可能改變這個世界！】
