KDU Penang upcomming event - Change Your World Tour

Have we ever wonder if we can ever change our world? Have we ever wonder how we can make a difference in our world? There are many voices today that tells us "You can't". So, does it mean that we can never make a change?

Now, in fact, weather we are aware or not, we are making changes everyday. It can be positive or negative. If I buy something today, I am changing something. Somebody actually sold something which they previously had. We use things. Once we use something, it is never the same because it is changed to 2nd hand.

Now how can we change our world. Let's talk about positive changes. Let's look into history. The Wright brothers change the mode of transportation with airplane and change people's mentality that man can never fly. Obama Barrack change the USA mindset that every president must be a white. Esther is known for Purim festival because she did something to spare her people. Mozart change the approach to music. John Wesley and Martin Luther change Christianity concept. Apostle Paul changed the mindsets that Christianity are only for the Jews. Nobel change the world with Nobel peace prize.

Those are people from history that tells us that positive changes can be made by everyone. So how can we change our world? How can our small actions change our society?

We can only change our world if we know where is our world. What is our world? As a student in KDU, my world is revolving around studies, campus life and private life. My college is my world for now.

Ok, now we understand our world, so what do we do next? We should now see the need and meet the need. What are the needs around us? Like our society, poor people are in need. Change our world by eliminating poverty by helping them. Our friends who may be weak in studies, help them in their studies and that will change their world.

How do we identify needs and approach them? Have compasion and resist complecency, have awareness to counter ingnorance and have courage to face problems instead of having fear.

One of the best way to learn is to attend the CYW concert on this coming 22nd November at Dewan Sri Pinang from 6pm - 10pm. The ticket is RM20 but hey, it comes with a free sound track that is worth 29.90 (basically speaking you are getting a discount for the disc plus a pass to the concert!).

Let's not waste time and lets go change our world. Either change our world or our world will change us.
