The people do not need to change
the whole world at once, the thing that one can do is to walk up in the morning
and contributes a little for make the life of a human, an animal better through
your deeds. Sometimes the little moment can change the whole way someone sees
the world. The story that has the ability to change someone's perception about
life is about old women over the age of 65. The old women use to sit on the
bank of the lake every morning, people watch her with some turtles around her
but have no idea what is she doing with those turtles. A young boy uses to see
the women every morning while jogging across the lake, and wonder what is this
women always doing with the turtles. One morning when the boy was jogging
around the lake he came close to the women and acquired politely, “Mam, sorry
for the disturbance but can you tell me what you are has been doing with these
turtles every morning”. The old women smiled and said that she cleans the
shells of turtles and removes the algae and scum from them.
For the boy, it sounds weird
because not all the turtles have the algae in their shell and they have then
still what different one women can make just by cleaning the shell of some
turtles. The boy said to the women that she must use her time sometimes doing
more productive because what she is doing can change nothing. The old women
smiled on the boy and said to him while removing a piece of algae from the turtle
shell "only if this turtle can talk; he would tell you that how this makes
all the difference in the world". If was the moment of awakening for the
boy and he understands that someone is never too small to make a difference. The
difference might not be visible, but it is still there.
