I was watching a commercial where a young lady offers to buy another person a coffee. In the commercial the lady buying the coffee says that the person she is buying a coffee is a “work friend”, but the other person says, “I am your best friend.” Many of us have work friends and other friends and we draw a distinction between them but not as rudely as the person does in the commercial. That commercial is a commentary on how we view people and friendship. It also speaks to how we see ourselves and how we see our influence on the world.
You
may think that you are completely insignificant is this world. But someone
drinks coffee from the favourite cup you gave them. Someone hard a song on the
radio that reminded them of you. Someone read a book you recommended and plunged
headfirst into it.
Someone smiled after a hard day’s work, because they remembered the joke you told them today. Someone loves themselves a little bit more because you gave them a compliment.
Never
think that you have no influence of any kind. Your trace, which you leave
behind with every good deed cannot be erased.
