Some people feel they don’t have the chance to change the world. They feel they    1    either time or money. Charley Johnson wants to change all that.

Charley Johnson is an    2    person with his mind set to change the world. And he wants everyone in the world to    3    making that change. In his words “the simplest ideas have the greatest    4   ”.

It is an idea that has been    5    for some time—a Hollywood movie has shown it for the audience. Charley is determined to put it into    6    with the help of a bracelet carved “pay it forward”. “I don’t know what or why, but this white bracelet makes it    7    for people to follow the idea. It is around your wrist that    8    you to be generous”. With over a million bracelets in circulation in over 60 different countries Charley does have some    9    to back up his statement. And no    10    is ever needed, the idea responds beautifully with people    11    languages and cultures.

Charley has this feeling that this is what the world    12 . It is his ambition to make the world a better place by    13    others to do so. He believes the smallest acts of    14    — opening a door, helping someone carry something and so on have great effects on people’s soul. “We have something like 3,000 thoughts a day, what if, by wearing this    15    we can change our thoughts — so that most of them will be positive”.
