Small things make a great impact

‘Thanks’, ‘sorry’ and ‘excuse me’ are perhaps the shortest words or phrase that are used for expressing very deep emotions, feelings and being polite with the rest. When and why are these used is something that we are taught at a very young age but forgetful
creatures that we are, we tend to forget these as we grow up rather than sticking to them as a habit.
Where words say a lot, actions are also not far behind. Imagine the one sitting next to you in the office stirring tea or coffee in a way that it creates maximum amount of sound and seems to be a wasted effort to actually break the poor cup to pieces. Now
if not only the one sitting next to you rather more than half the office is up to it then I can only start wondering the noise pollution composition it can lead to!!
Similarly there come instances where you are trying your best that your point can get clarified but you have a ‘friend’ or colleague who just cannot stop poking the nose or commenting in at all the crucial points. Making a confused situation all the more
miserable. How would you feel if you get constantly interrupted when you are trying to put an important point through? Maybe due to the so called ‘discussion’ that our media regularly comes up with has infused the habit of unnecessary arguments in us.
Just because the majority of us cannot stop talking or help staying quiet at least when eating so you will find people talking with their mouth full without realizing that conversing effectively will be way better once they are done eating. Thus very rightly
said that our tongue is the lightest but yet the most difficult to hold.
Letting others go first, holding the door for someone, passing a smile when you see someone, picking up something for someone that might not be possible for them to do at that particular moment, offering whatever you are eating and never refusing a polite
request or something offered wholeheartedly would never belittle you. All it might do is that make people respect you more and in return love you more, as both you only get after giving!!
