This is an e-mail that I received from Don Lloyd; hope that you enjoy it:

The words of an old Hasidic rabbi, on his deathbed, remain true...

"When I was young, I set out to change the world. When I grew older,
I perceived that this was too ambitious, so I set out to change my state.
This, too, I realized as I grew older was too ambitious, so I set out to
change my town. When I realized I could not even do this, I tried to
change my family.

Now as an old man, I know that I should have started by changing myself.
If I had started with myself, maybe then I would have succeeded in changing
my family, the town, or even the state -- and who knows, maybe even the
world!"
