One person can change the world

I believe that almost everyone can change the world, but some people say that it is impossible; I don’t think that anything is impossible because the word impossible itself says I’m possible. And when you think about it, all it Takes is one little thing to start something big. If you are still having trouble believing here are some examples. All it takes is one, Sunbeam to light a room, one smile to start a friendship, one tree to start a forest, one note to start a song, one action to start a legacy, one person to change the world.

My inspiration for this speech comes from a presentation I had to do on someone that had made a difference in the world, so I decided to do it on someone I have heard about a lot in my culture, but don’t know much about, Saheed Baghat Singh, throughout my research I was inspired by his determination to make a difference. He wasn’t afraid to put his life on the line if it meant that he could get the British out of India. He was determined no matter what he had to do to make a difference.

If you can’t feed 100 people, feed just one – Mother Teresa. If you want to change the world, start small. If you can’t help 1 million people just remember 1 million starts with 1. When you start helping people you may think you’re not making much of a difference –this is where most people give up, in fact I heard a story which explains this.

There once was a wise old man who lived on a beach, one day he saw a man throwing beached starfish back into the water, the old man asked what he was doing, the man replied that he was throwing beached starfish back into the water, the old man told him that there were miles of beach and that he couldn`t make much of a difference, as the man threw another beached starfish back into the water he said, well I made a difference for that starfish.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed that is all who ever have- Margret Mead. If you think you’re just a normal person, you can’t change the world, well everyone has to start somewhere, like Gandhi he was born on a small coastal town in India, Mother Teresa was born and lived in turkey, and Martin Luther King Jr was born and raised in Georgia America. When you think about it most of these people where born and raised similar to us and probably lived similar lives the only difference is that they wanted to change the world for the better.

So I could go on and on about these things and pretty much write a book on how to start a revolution, but it would be boring and there already is a book about that, and I`ve pretty much got my message through, but if only 2 people understand my speech and then spread it on I will still be happy, so go out there and leave your mark on this earth, go carve your name in the sands of time, and just remember, One Person Can Change The World.
