:: it's the little things that matter ::today i gave my brother a lecture. i seldom do that... normally i just nag. anyway, i feel that small things that we normally think are inconsequential, will amount to creating a significant impression of ourselves. examples are holding the lift for others, letting others exit from the train before you rush in, holding the door open for others, many little 'small' things... however they all go to show our graciousness and consideration for others. i'm sure that such a simple action would not leave an indelible impression in others' minds, but cumulatively, it helps to form an image of you. and this image would affect how others treat you.
as for myself, i'm extremely appreciative of people who do all these little little things. i have very good impressions of them. in fact, they impress me just as much as a philantrophist would. at times i've been guilty of being inconsiderate, selfish, even purposely mean to others, and i'd promise to myself to do better the next time a similar opportunity presents itself. many times, i've witnessed my friends and the little things they do, and i remember them and try to be able to emulate them. all this, i hope will make myself a better person and bring more comfort to people around me.
eee... just re-read the paragraph i wrote, appears very 'mushy' to me. anyway, i just thought it would be a good topic to blog about since more and more people these days are less considerate towards others. don't know whether it's due to the stress? the fast pace of life? or the decreasing degree of humanity left in us as we use modern forms of technology to communicate? i think it's a combination of all such factors...
