Top Ten Ways to Make a Difference in the World

Top Ten Ways to Make a Difference in the WorldLots of people want to make a difference in the world. But how does someone make a difference? Does it have to be a big one? Big differences change the world; little ones fuel the big ones. What would happen if the fuel ran out? Here are the top ten ways to keep the fuel going:

10 Think before you act.
What you do affects others. When you think first, you are more likely to do the right thing and every one benefits.

9  Encourage.
Encourage people and set a precedent for them to encourage others. One day you, too, may need encouragement.

8  Help others.
Helping leaves a good impression on those you help. In turn, they are likely to follow your example and help others.

All you have to do is one thing for one person every day. It can even be as simple as holding the door for someone or picking up books that a student dropped. It may seem like nothing but it can make the world a better place.
