帕布莉卡在英国威斯敏斯特教堂的地下室里有一块墓碑，上面写了这样一段话：
在我年轻的时候，曾梦想改变这个世界。
When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world.
可当我成熟以后，我发现我不能改变这个世界。于是，我将目光缩短一些，那就只改变我的国家吧。
As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it, too, seemed immovable.
可当我到了暮年的时候，我发现我根本没有能力改变我的国家。于是，我的最后愿望仅仅是改变我的家庭，可这也是不可能的。
As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.
当我躺在床上，行将就木的时候，我突然意识到，如果当初我仅仅是从改变自己开始，也许我就能改变我的家庭。
And now, as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.
在家人的帮助和鼓励下，也许我就能为我的国家做一点事情；然后谁知道呢，说不定我能改变这个世界。
From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country, and who knows, I may have even changed the world.
精彩点评：
修身，齐家，治国平天下。所谓“改变自己”就是修身，不要总想着改变世界，因为“过分关心别人的人必定没安好心”，首先，你应该修身，修身的第一要务是让自己变成一个健康快乐的富家翁，像西班牙人一样“懒散”的活着，然后，高兴的话，再在科技，政治等方面“露一手”，就行了，不必强求……

世间的事
你管它是那个样子
不管它还是那个样子
但你管住了自己
它的样子就变了…
