Today, i am sharing with you all, a small gesture which i learnt from one of my friends and which i religiously follow whenever i come across that scenario.
It's very small and simple act but it has the immense capacity to have huge impact.
Small things do matter.We all know that.
For the very simple reason that everything starts off small.The things which appear larger than life to us now too had humble beginning.
Not deviating any further ; i will try explain that small act.
While going to office , in broad day light, whenever i am walking on the road ; trying to reach my immediate destination;when i see any vehicle passing by me with its headlights on which the owner of the vehicle must have forgot to switch off the previous night ; i make a signal with my hand indicating the 'On' lights which gets turned off in few moments.
And that gesture creates such a belongingness and respect between two obscure people.This sends a message to those two hearts and others if anyone happens to witness this moment , that one human cares for his fellow humans and also creates a 'Feel-Good -Factor" which can have profound effect on well being of humanity if we all start finding and doing such small gestures. It will definitely change the way we think and perceive our fellow humans. This also reminds us that at the level of existence we all are same. we all are made of same flesh and bones, despite the societal,cultural,religious and lifestyle differences.
Lets us all take efforts to be Humane to our fellow humans and make them feel good and happy in every possible way we can.
This reminds me few words of wisdom :
" There are no simple acts ; there great acts done in simple Way"
According to me the vice -versa also holds true.
"There Are no Great acts; there are just simple acts done in a great way"

Its not what we do ; How we do it Matters
Stay bright.

I like it.
If we do the small things the big things follow automatically. In other words, by doing the small things we create the state of mind which results in us doing the big things.
