Want to change the world? Start by being brave enough to care.
The world will say to you, “Be a better person.” Do not be afraid to say, “Yes.” Start by being a better listener.Start by being better at walking down the street.See people.Say, “Hello.” Ask how they are doing and listen to what they say.Start by being a better friend, a better parent, a better child to your parents;

a better sibling, a better lover, a better partner.Start by being a better neighbour.Meet someone you do not know, and get to know them.
The world will say to you, “What are you going to do？” Do not be afraid to say, “I know I can't do everything, but I can do something.” Walk into more rooms saying, “I'm here to help.” Become intimate with generosity.Give what you can give, and do what you can do.Give dollars, give cents, give your time, give your love, give your heart, and give your spirit.
The world will say to you, “We need peace.” Find your peace within, hold it sacred, bring it with you everywhere you go.Peace cannot be shared or created with others if we cannot first generate it within.
The world will say to you, “We need justice.” Investigate.Find truth beyond the stories you are told.Find truth beyond the way things seem.Ask, “Why？” Ask, “Is this fair？” Ask, “How did we get here？” Do this with compassion.Do this with forgiveness.Learn to forgive others.Start by truly learning how to forgive yourself.We are all more than our mistakes.We are all more than who we were yesterday.We are all deserving of our dignity.See yourself in others.Recognise that your justice is my justice, and mine is yours.There can be no liberation for one of us if the other is not free.
We spend so much time thinking we don't have the power to change the world.We forget that the power to change someone's life is always in our hands.Changemaking does not belong to one group of people; it belongs to all of us.You don't have to wait on anyone to tell you that you are in this.Begin.Start by doing what you can with what you've got, where you are and in your own way.
We don't have to be heroes, wear a uniform, call ourselves activists or get elected to participate.We just have to be brave enough to care.

[难句剖析]
Start by doing what you can with what you've got, where you are and in your own way.
分析：本句是一个祈使句，by doing...是方式状语，where you are and in your own way在句中作地点和方式状语。what you can作doing的宾语；what you've got作介词with的宾语。
翻译：用你所拥有的，在你所处的位置，用你自己的方式做你能做的事情来开始。
