HOW YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD,
AND THE UNFORGETTABLE MAGIC TRICK!

HOW YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD

If you're reading this story – you want to do something BIG!
You want to leave your mark.
You want your life to stand for something.
You want to change the world.

Here's some advice written by an unknown monk in 1100 A.D.:

“When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.

I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.

When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town.

I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.

Now, as an old man, I realize that the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family.

My family and I could have made an impact on our town.

Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have change the world!”

THE UNFORGETTABLE MAGIC TRICK!

Once upon a time, there was a great magician who made
his living by performing on cruise ships.

The magician had a parrot who was part of his act.

The parrot used to get laughs by telling the audience
how the magician was doing his tricks.

The parrot would say things like, “The card is up his sleeve,” or
“He's going to steal your watch.”

One day the cruise ship hit a rocky reef and sank. Luckily, the parrot and the magician got on a life raft together. They drifted at sea for several days.

Day after day, the parrot just sat and stared at the magician in total silence.
Finally, the parrot said, “Okay, I give up. What did you do with the ship?”
