In the blog post, One Man's Impact In The World, the blogger talks about the impact you can have on others. She mentions that there may be one, small action that could have been done without much thought, but that one small action could ruin someone's whole day, or make someone's whole day. She talks about some encounters she has had with others, when someone treated her poorly and made her mad, and how to this day she still thinks of that time. She talks about a time where someone rejected a hug and instead of politely saying, "No," they rolled their eyes at her and acted in a belittling way. I can think of several instances at work where I have had customers who weren't polite with me or got mad at me when I had to charge them extra money for their extra toppings on their ice cream. Those few rude remarks left me angry and frustrated and could have easily ruined my day if I let it. It is always important to be mindful of what you say to others because you never know how it can affect them. Not only can you make negative impacts on others, you can also make very positive impacts on people. One small act of kindness can go along way. A simple compliment, or a simple smile can make someone's whole day. I can also think of several instances here, where someone has done something so small as waited an extra minute to hold the door open for me or told me to have a good day, where it made me smile and put me in a happier mood. Many people do not realize how much their actions truly can impact someone's day, or even impact their life. It is always important to be mindful of what you say to others and not make rude remarks or mistreat people. It's just as important, to help each other out and to do the right thing; you never know how much one act of kindness can help someone.
