What kind of difference can one person make?

Question

What kind of difference can one person make? You may be right. It's all a waste of time. I guess that's just a chance I'm prepared to take. A danger I'm prepared to face. I'm old enough not to care too much about what you think of me.

Answer 1

one action can snowball - if you are kind to a stranger and ask for nothing in return but that he be kind to stranger and ask the same reward- you change the world.

whatever the kindness or whatever quality you display - if you lead by shining example you will be followed and you will change the world.  

everything starts with us and the only thing needed is that what we do is good.

Answer 2

Answer 4

I suppose the answer to that question is wrapped up in another question:  How much firepower do you have at your disposal? ☺

Aren't those the lyrics to a song?

Answer 6

Answer 7

i think one person can make a huge difference good or bad. Martin Luther King made a huge difference and he was one man. I think it depends on how big of a sacrifice you are willing to make. If you bieleve in something strong enough and are willing to fight i think you can make a huge difference!  

Answer 8

Plenty....Even if it's just on a pretty small scale, such as opening doors for the ladies and elderly..Not a lot of people do this nowadays..This can set examples for the other bystanders just watching and not reacting.  They'll think twice the next time they see a woman or an elderly person in the process of opening a door.

Just doing random acts of kindness in public can make a difference for the people who witness it...Everyone can always spread kindness around..

Answer 11

1. Abraham

2. Jesus

3. Muhammed

4. Aristotle

5. Augustine

6. Aquinas

7. Copernicus

8. Galileo

9. Locke

10. Hume

11. Jefferson

12. Lincoln

13. hundreds or thousands more

As the sexist, but often true saying goes, "Behind every man stands a woman," or "another man." Most people who change the world do it not alone, but with help. Jesus had 12 helpers or more. After all, even Judas furthered the saga, and Paul never met Jesus.

So you can make a difference, not by being Mother Theresa, but by being her housekeeper or cook; or by being the secretary to the blind governor of New York; or the volunteer at the telephone center of your church or AA.

Why does it have to be a big difference? Besides, how do you know that one little phone call you answer won't make a big difference to someone else? We often do things that have consequences of which we are never made aware.
