Change and the World Changes for You

I believe very firmly that one person can change the world. That one

person may not be able to do a whole lot physically to change the world, but one

person has the power to inspire others to help that person change the world. I

also believe very firmly that one person can set an example for others that may

affect the outcome of any situation.

Just like in a baseball game where one person can hit the winning grand

slam homerun, in life, one person can make the difference. The problem is that

when the odds seem insurmountable, it seems impossible to overcome them and most

people will give up. The true heroes in this world are those who don't give up

in these times when things seem impossible to do.

The other thing I think is very important to note about the power of one

person is that we need to look at what that one person is doing that is making a

difference.

One person can make a difference in someone else's life. I have

had, in my life, many people that have made a huge difference. If someone

changes your entire life or your outlook on it, your can definitely testify to

the power of one. I think someone that can reach out to just one person's life

is just as important as someone who can change the lives of millions.

One last thing I think is important to note is that, in recognizing the

power of one person to make a difference, we must also note the contributions of

others to help put that person where they are. A further explanation of this

would be to go back to our other scenario. When, in the last inning, someone

hits a game-winning grand slam homerun, that person is very important. However

it is also important to give credit to those on base or to his coaches who

taught him how to hit. We need to give credit to those that made a difference

in his life.

The last thing I would like to say is that I really hope that I can

change the life of at...
