Significance of being insignificant

The majority of us lead quiet,unheralded lives as we pass through this world.There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us,no monuments created in our honour.But that does not lessen our possible impact,for there are scores of people for someone just like us to come along;people who will appreciate our compassion,our encouragement,people who will need our unique talents.Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,a smile,a kind word,a listening ear,an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring-all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
