It takes a lot of courage to make a change, all the way from personally to globally. Some of us, however, aren’t satisfied with simply exercising more or organizing a charity. These are the ones who make discoveries and forge ideas that alter our entire way of life. Secretly, it may even be the hope we have for our children—to one day take action in a way that changes the world for the better. But what are the mindsets students need to create change on a worldwide scale if they truly want to?
The Persian poet Rumi once spoke of the real place change begins, which is within. He wrote, “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
What this means is that the changes our students might wish to affect have more to do with how they think as opposed to the scale of what they actually do. In other words, real change comes from within. Moreover, Rumi also might indirectly suggest here that the accomplishments themselves matter less than what one chooses to do with them. After all, the most sweeping transformations seem to have the humblest beginnings.
