People aren't just ants rushing around over a crust of bread. Every life, no matter how isolated, touches hundreds of others. It's up to us to decide if those micro connections are positive or negative. But whichever we decide, it does impact the ones we deal with. One word can give someone the strength they needed at that moment or it can shred them down to nothing. A single smile can turn a bad moment good. And one wrong outburst or word could be the tiny push that causes someone to slip over the edge into destruction. . Sherrilyn Kenyon
About This Quote

When you get down to the essence of things, it doesn't matter what kind of person you are, what kind of person they are or how many thousands of people they have touched. What matters is whether or not you will be a good person. Whether or not you will do the right thing and treat others the way you want to be treated. When Nelson Mandela said, “One word can give someone the strength they needed at that moment or it can shred them down to nothing.

A single smile can turn a bad moment good. And one wrong outburst or word could be the tiny push that causes someone to slip over the edge into destruction.” He was speaking on how one little thing could make such a big change in someone’s life.
