Now, as an old man, I realize 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 changed the world.

Conscious inclusion creates natural diversity…and it starts with a choice. Be inclusive…it’s your choice.
That was nice. I will try to act that way. Good advice.
