The world is changed by your example, not your opinion. ~Paulo Coelho
There are so many people I wish would take this quote to heart. Especially this year, as we watch people argue over how bad “other” people are, and how much “better” their own opinions are, rather than just making an effort themselves, to do the RIGHT THING, always.
No, you cannot force other people to believe the same as you, nor can you force them to do what you consider the “right thing”. However, it is always within your power to lead by example. Make it a good one.
