Excerpt from a speech posted on about.com:
The only way to achieve your purpose is to take small actions everyday. In the end, they all add up. My hope for you is that you will cultivate this attitude backed by purpose in your own life.

Sometimes, all it takes is a smile, a hug, or another small gesture to brighten someone's day. You never know what kind of effect you will have on another. Perhaps your small gesture would turn someone's day around which will allow them to proceed with a small gesture that turns someone else's day around creating a domino effect. Before you know it, the whole world is postitively affected by one person starting a small gesture to another...from nothing but pure love and kindness.

Next time you walk past someone, offer a small, kind gesture and wonder what wonderful things you may have started. Imagine how much better off this world would be...

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
- Thomas Macaulay (English Historian, 1800-1859)
