This scene from The West Wing demonstrates how personal responsibility and individual action are essential for creating meaningful change in society. The President's choice to use Odora Welty's quote 'You must be the change you wish to see in the world' instead of Gandhi's famous quote highlights how personal agency—taking initiative and responsibility for one's own transformation—is a fundamental principle for positive social impact. The quote emphasizes that external forces cannot change us; we must actively choose to become the change we want to see in our communities and the world.

Happy Graduation | The West Wing本站添加:
What do you think about using the Odora Welty quote instead of the Gandhi?
>> Well, I think they both work, but since I wouldn't make any more changes, I >> must be the change. Is that it?
You must be the change you wish to see in the world. Sounds too much like Eastern philosophy.
>> Well, it was bound to, sir, >> cuz Gandhi lived in India.
>> Yeah, sir. This speech is about creativity. And in my judgment, it's a home run. Now, what it isn't is a speech that will convince Zoe not to go to France tomorrow.
>> Well, let's write that one, >> Mr. President.
>> Yeah.
>> Are you ready, Mr. President?
>> Yeah.
>> Thanks, Will, for the help.
>> Use the Odora Welty. It's better.
>> Thank you.
I understand you're not using the teleprompter.
>> Yeah. No, I've got it down here in this folder and on some napkins in my pockets.
>> Okay, listen. You going to be all right with that?
>> Oh, yeah. I'll be fine. You know, unless something comes up.
>> Uh, like what?
>> Well, for instance, I just realized I don't have access to my pockets anymore.
But, you know, what are you going to do?
You're late.
>> You're here.
>> It's 10:07. I've been here for 7 minutes.
>> Well, you drove in a sedan. I had to climb over the wall.
>> Shouldn't you have allowed for that?
>> I didn't think you were going to be here.
>> Well, why'd you come?
>> I was going to dig up the bottle and give it to you as a graduation present.
Why'd you come?
>> Oh, to drink it.
>> I'm kidding. I came cuz I thought you might, too.
though I have been drinking it.
>> You know, there are people at a party that radio station's throwing at that techno place that looks like the end of the world.
>> I think they went cuz you said you'd be winding up there. I didn't come cuz I thought you'd be here. I wasn't trying to.
>> You don't want to have champagne with me?
>> No. No, I do. I do. I just thought if I should call people and tell them.
>> You're such a good guy. You were raised in horror. What is it along the way that made you a good guy?
I try to eat right.
You know what's funny is when I first saw the note we shouldn't do that.
>> I know >> what's going on.
>> Nothing.
>> Come on.
>> Don't ask me that now.
>> I am asking you.
>> Nothing.
Just you know a lot of things. Dumb stuff.
Jean Paul wants me to take a hit of ecstasy with him tonight.
>> Okay, but your kids are going to have gills.
>> I don't care about that. I'm honestly I'm I'm worried a little about my father. My leaving for 3 months isn't exactly going to do him any favors.
And I'm confused about you.
Well, I can't advise you on it.
>> Why not?
>> Because I think this is tonight and tomorrow you're on the Concord.
>> I deserve that.
You think we could just sit here, enjoy the night for a while?
Actually, I I think it's a bad time in a person's life to stop showing up at places they say they're going to show up.
>> I think they should go to the party.
>> Yeah.
