This teaches me that if it is not possible to change the world, then it might be very helpful to change myself. When I start complaining about everything, some good parts of me tell me to stop acting like a senile old man and actually start with myself, as very often the reason of my fail is my actions. It gives me good food for thought and how funny it is or not almost every time there is a situation where I can say “Hmm… Actually, if I did this differently that might change the

    Iron Maiden first released “Run to the Hills” as a single in 1982, and Bruce Springsteen released “Born in the U.S.A” on the album of the same name in 1984. Both songs comment on aspects of America.
