Make a Difference.

This just goes to show how a small favour can go such a long way and make a meaningful difference in peoples lives. If you're like me and spend large parts of your day procrastinating and wondering what we are doing on this rock flying through space, think of this: If you cant make someone feel special there is no place for you here. Acknowledging someone buy paying them a small compliment or even a smile could be the difference between a good and bad day for them. 


I revert to the often repeated story of the little girl on the beach full of starfish. The spring tide had brought thousands of starfish to the shore and left them stranded in the sun. She began picking them up one by one and throwing them back into the ocean. A grumpy old man walking the opposite direction asked her "There are thousands of them, what difference is it going to make?" The girl reached down a returned one starfish more to the ocean. "Well it made a big difference to that one..."






Look at their faces. Did the Braille Burgers make a difference?
