For three years, I've had mobile network myself. And what do you know? Everybody there wanted to change the world. They didn't like the way it was. I was scared. "What is the problem with the world?" I said. An American Army colonel said that if we wanted to change it, we had to start by making our beds in the morning. Wait a little, mister. Take it easy. Don't you count on me. I may smooth the blanket out a little, but let's not exaggerate. The other said that the change begins with you. That seems about right. Everyone is a little universe. Since then, I've been reinventing myself each day. And the world together with me.
