　　23 More changes--changing the world
After thinking about some changes I'd like to make with myself, I started thinking about the changes I'd like to make with my family, and even my neighborhood. It's possible to think about things to add and to leap¹ in your work place, too. People often complain about their jobs, their bosses and their work places. In fact, people talk about changes they'd like to make about work more than they talk about changes for anything else!
Are there any changes you'd like to make in your home, your neighborhood, your work place, or even on a larger level? What if you were in charge of the United² Nations? What are some causes that you would fight for? I don't think we have to be the president of a country, or the boss of a company to make changes happen. I guess the first place is in the home. But we don't just live in the house all day. Sure, I know there are limits for what we can change. And also, the way we go about making changes is important. It's easy to rub³ someone the wrong way when just making a suggestion, but that doesn't mean we still can't make changes, or at least try to make changes. Sometimes, I think that making changes is a good thing. How about you?
Talk about it:
Creating changes is a very real challenge⁴, do you agree? Have you tried and failed at making changes? What changes have you tried to make? What changes would you like to make? What would you change if you were the president of Korea⁵? What would you change if you were the head of the United Nations? Are all changes good? Why or why not? Do you have a say in the changes on decisions that occurred⁶ in your household?
