Can one person make a difference?
The Earth is a big place with a large population,
there are many people that conform a society and many people we know in our
lives. For individual perception, the number of human beings who interact
daily, is minimal compared with reality. Can one of those people present, be or
do something different from the common and ordinary? Big changes start small
individual acts that are imperceptible at first. We can compare it to a snow
avalanche begins a little and grows to change the relief of a landscape, even
permanently.
Always when analyzing human behavior is necessary to
take into account two perspectives, history and current reality. Derived from
this analysis it is possible to forecast for the near future, or at least a
critical and sustained opinion. What can be said about the history that exists
with respect to individuals who have caused a change and left a mark? Knowledge
of the general culture, can we just mention prominent names to give an answer
to that question. People like Marie Curie, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Albert
Einstein, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, among others. All these people
contributed a bit to the history of humanity, generating a positive difference.
In the historical section, it should be noted that
there are also people whose negative influence, generated an indelible mark in
the memory of mankind. Although it is important that any interpretation of
right or wrong is not right for everyone, because the reality and morality of
an individual varies with his personality, training, history, preferences and
needs. Prominent figures such as Genghis Khan, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin,
Osama Bin Laden, among others. These characters, noted for making a difference
in an unusual way that humans considered correct, but still accounted for his
influence and his ideas change in humanity and contribute to society.
At present there are also people with small acts have
made significant changes in various areas and subjects. Every day people around
us make great contributions to society, from a scientist who brings a new
discovery to the school teacher who teaches children values that will be the
future of humanity. A president creates changes in a country, an athlete with
their individual achievements, raises the fallen spirit of a nation and
encourages him to continue. This time, is full of individual acts that make the
difference. Thanks to the globalization of communication, it is now easier to
be aware of these small events and that these generate an effect on people.
However, being aware that the answer to the first
question is yes, without question, another question arises: are we willing to
make a difference too? In the field where it is, we have infinite possibilities
to effect change and influence the lives of people who have closer. If this
determination continues and we have innovative ideas and proper motivation, the
scope of our actions can be even more extensive than we thought. In conclusion,
all is in the way we want to be remembered and make a difference depends on
ourselves.
