Making a difference

What you do makes a difference. Keep that in mind, and keep doing the good things you do.

To the extent you’re able, find ways to do even more. Because each time you make a positive difference, the benefits extend far beyond that single episode.

It’s easy to assume that errors will be corrected, that justice will prevail, that inefficiencies will be improved. But mere assumptions don’t accomplish any of those things.

When life gets better, it’s because people do the work to make it better. It can be a very satisfying and enriching experience to be one of those people.

You’ve felt that satisfaction before. Today is your opportunity to do what will bring forth that feeling again.

You have the ability, you have the time, you have the thoughtfulness and creativity, and you can put it all to good use. What you do makes a difference, so do it.

— Ralph Marston
