When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on(集中精力) my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my ____. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and ____I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an influence on my family and even on my town.
