make a difference

i think i made a difference today with making someone feel more comfortable and confident because i understood and could relate. we were brave enough to share personal stories with each other and i think we’ve both learned alot.

I just do… recently I joined an eco group… woo!

WEll…So far i have made a shoebox for operation christmas child (for those who don’t know: you pack a shoebox full of toys and stationary etc. and send it to a disadvantaged child.) And I was able to convince some of my friend to join in as well. But I orgaised a fundraiser but had to pull out because the friends i was oding it with were all for helping the cause, but didn’t want to do any actual work. So i’m trying to get more people involved. Hopefully I’ll have a project planned for the summer (christmas) holidays.

THIS SEEM TO WORTH A TRY

Lately there have been numerous occasions when I have thought of something nice to say to someone but haven’t. I think the reasons were 1. I didn’t know if it would make them feel awkward, especially if it was in public and 2. I wasn’t sure which language to say it in. It might sound silly, but this is actually something that goes through my head. I imagine myself saying, do you speak English? or, do you speak French? before saying what I want to and I’m not even sure which language to ask that in! It’s so silly.

So I have generally been thinking about the compliment idea, even starting something positive on Facebook, but also the original idea of creating little coupon type things. I will have to think some more about what the general message will be.

I am an ordinary girls and I am not take care of my looks.Every day I am just wearing ordinary clothes which will out of day very soon.ONe day, my boyfriend said “Look at you,are you a girl?” It made me so angry and sad,maybe I shoud take care of my clothing.

Each of us can make a difference. What does it mean to you? To me, I want to help people understand exercise matters. It helps you feel better, you sleep better, you set a good example for your kids. You live longer and you consume fewer resources in our health care system. Even if you don’t have the time or money to go to a fancy gym, you can exercise. Every little bit counts. So get moving. I can help… I will make a difference.

I’ve made a determined goal to make a difference. It won’t be any of the things that may be easy to meet or anything that way. It may chaneg lives of milions if it succeeds, but I wonder if it isn’t exaggerated and impossible. I know many will support it yet the struggle won’t be smooth and easy. Should I even start it now? Or maybe leave if for the future?

It is a valuable skill to be able to help guide someone to a promised land. But it is a more valuable skill to help make someone’s existing land promising.

The radio station at work is usually tuned into Delilah, and I sometimes listen to The Fish while driving, and both stations continue to drive in the same message – be a difference maker in the lives of others…

Sometimes we can be so selfish and see our problems, and our problems only – and we fail to acknowledge the needs and problems of others. Everytime I hear that message, I think about how selfish I can be. Hopefully I can eventually settle into a job that really helps people, a job where you can personally help a person first hand. I enjoy dealing with customers at work – especially when you witness the change in some of the most unbearable (NOT TO ME!! :D) customers, I think I could do something like that full time. It’s magic when you see what kind of an effect one can have on people. MAGIC!

Eventually I do hope to have a first hand “help centered” profession. Just have to take it one step at a time though..
