Considering that there are so many people on earth, it would seem that what we do is pretty insignificant in the context of the whole world. Normally, only people of power and influence, like a president or mayor or leader of some sort, can change the lives of others greatly.

But, do not underestimate the effect each and every person can have in making this world a better place.

A person can influence the lives of those he or she comes into contact with by the way that person lives his or her own life.

For example, by standing up for what you believe in, you might move others to do the same. Similarly, being helpful and selfless might cause others to behave the same way.

When you a touch a person's life, the effect grows in that person, and he or she will go on to touch others. It's an expanding effect.

Don't underestimate the potential in each and every one of us to improve the world.

"What we do in life, echoes in eternity"

Maximus Decimus Meridas, in the movie Gladiator
