As the proverb goes, "To bring about a change, you must first be the change!" The difference between the present condition of the world and the Golden age is like the difference between the land and the sky. To bridge the gap, all the people will have to undergo mental, spiritual and moral transformation. First of all, I would myself undergo the transformation.
I will open up new centres or help in the existing places where "education is not sold but educare is served". I shall help others learn the human values and more importantly practice it and help them realise the meaning of "Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man."
I shall try to make people realise that all the religions are actually different paths leading to the same God and by this try to bring about communal harmony.
At an individual and intra personal level, I will remove all my bad qualities and cultivate good qualities and try to spread the same to the people close to me.
After completing my education, I will either tackle over my father's business of sanitary ware and improve it or join some other company. If I take over the family businesses, I will expand it. I will make regular charities like feeding the poor, donating to orphanages, donating to NGOs etc. If I join a company, I will make my peers, superiors and subordinates realise how important ethical and moral behaviour is… If I have the authority, I will organize weekend camps for all employees and take them to old age homes, orphanages, leprosy clinics, etc. so that people realise the actual suffering of the people. My aim would be that everybody should know the value of service and the self satisfaction that it brings. They would also get to know the importance of right conduct, both in professional and personal life.
I shall give tips to people on how to live their lives in a practical way. Even small random acts of kindness which may seem insignificant to others can change a person's life. I will tell people that any type of kindness can work wonders, be it from making a person cross the road, to forgetting the differences with another person and forgiving.
Man should pray to God but at the same time keep rowing to the shore. Once the weaving starts, God will send the threads. God helps those who help themselves.
I will conclude with a Japanese proverb which is also a source of inspiration for me: HE WHO WANTS WHAT GOD WANTS OF HIM WILL LEAD A FREE, HAPPY, SATISFIED AND PROSPEROUS LIFE…
