Deep Impact
Was talking to a friend on Fri, the conversation was a short one but it set me thinking about the my life. We were talking about the weekends and he was talking abt how busy his weekends are because of his church activities. But he find it to be spent meaningfully because he has make a meaningful impact on other people's life.
This set me thinking. No man is an island, everyday we will interact with people and during this interaction, we will definitely create an impact on those that we interact. Impact could be small or big depending on the factors. For example, if you relate a good experience you have in a particular restaurant to a close friend, do you think your experience would not affect his/her decision to go to the restaurant? And because of your relation of experience to your friend abt the restaurant, it would not affect the employer and employees of the restaurant??
This goes to show our behaviour, words that we speak does affect another person. For example, (most people would be able to relate to this experience) you scored a bad grade and you have to get your Dad to sign it. What is the difference between these two conversations to the kid
Conversation 1
"What happen to you?!?!? Why can't you do anything correct? Is it so difficult to score?"
Conversation 2
"What happend to you? Care to tell me why you have such a low grade? I believe you are able to achieve more than this. Let's work this out together and learn from your mistake! "
Well as can be seen, the first one is too harsh, completely tears away any confidence a kid has compare to the second conversation which is more encouraging.
Purpose of this blog is to show people that we make an impact on people whether we want it or not. People like people who make a positive impact on their lives and detest people who creates negative impacts. Need another example? Sure. Bosses who make your lives difficult, like him or detest him? But I am sure he makes the greatest impact in your life. No? How abt this, he decides what time you go to work, end your work, what you have in life like cars, travel, houses and even number of kids!
Better example, when you go to work in the morning, feeling that the day is going to be smooth throughout, you tell your colleague abt this great feeling and he has to spoil it for you by telling the tons of work you have not done and should be doing. I am sure you would stay away from him if he keeps on spoiling it for you.
Start your day and life the right way, start making a positive impact on another people lives.
Even if one does not show you his gratitude, no worries. I am sure you would feel absolute happiness and satisfying when you make a positive impact. Start doing it! The cheapest way is to wear a smile, cos smiling is contagious! :)
Cheers!
