You’ve heard the saying, if you want something done, do it yourself. It relates so much to this quote. Similarly, it is telling us that change starts from ourselves. Just like global warming. If you want to stop global warming, start from your home. Segregate trash properly, check your appliances if they are environmental friendly, etc. Then you can tell your neighbors about it and start a local campaign. When they see what you do, others would probably follow as well.

Try going on his website or watching the debates on cnn. Him & Hillary agree on majority of the same issues its almost hard to tell where they differ on them. He offers change & solution. He is doing rather well to be a jr senator compared to those with so much more expierience than him. Sure he gives a lot of speeches but they have meaning behind them dont get confused about him though. He’s not putting up a big fight agaisnt Hillary b/c he doesnt need to at this moment but he will be ready if it comes down to it & when it comes to going up agaisnt McCain. Keep thinking he’s a nobody.

It means basically to lead by example…if you want to see change in the world than you should initiate that change and live the way that you want others to live.

i think that because people are so diffrent then u will always get diffrent answers expecailly when asking what something means cause it could mean difrent things to diffrent people.

But i love that quote. to me it means that if you want somthing done you cant just wait around and hope that someone else will do it, you have to and can do it ur self!

It means if you want something to change…you have to change first… You can’t go around waiting for everyone else to start because everyone else is waiting for someone else. So basically be an example!
