When did you last wish someone a happy birthday without them expecting you to do so?
Well, I am a firm believer in that the Almighty has decided everyone’s life and nothing ever can change that. Neither can good wishes make it better than that nor any bad wishes, any worse; but one thing that I know, for certain, is that when you wish a person, it fills their heart with some kind of joys and gratitude that’s worth a million. What makes it worth more than a million is when you wish at a time, place, situation in which they would expect it the least.
I know it might make no sense calling someone with a birthday wish at the stroke of midnight – but can one be blind to the patience with which children keep awake for their parents, best friends and well wishers to call at the precise minute, which transformers an ordinary day into their birthday. Strange, but True and it costs you nothing.
No, it’s not just about wishing. Life offers so many opportunities to put a smile on the face of someone less privileged than us. That, in my opinion, is the highest religious duty any human being can perform. Imagine, if you took a little bit of pain carrying your old TV set that you no longer use, to the house of a lonely old wo/man, the blessings you get would be more than those you would get out of a hundred hours of rubbing your forehead on a stones you chose to call God. 
It takes no rocket science to realize that if you appreciate the effort of a performing child– no matter how insignificant it might seem to you as an adult – the child’s face beams with a sense of pride. The child performs much better than s/he would have done if unacknowledged.
Surprisingly this need in us does not disappear with age or status. All of us have a small need to be told that “you did a good job. 
If you don’t trust me, tell a colleague that shared his ‘dabba’ with you at work when you didn’t carry yours, “the food was really nice” and see the face beam. Frankly, it really doesn’t matter if the food was actually not earth shattering, but the fact is that the effort was and so was the sense of sharing was, and that’s what’s important to hear and to tell.
Small things mean Big and cost nothing!
The human need for small acknowledgments has not gone up in smoke even with modern life. In fact, we have found newer means of having these needs and fulfilling them.
Ten years back you would find it silly if you were affected by the fact that someone clicked a mouse on a thumb sign next to a picture of yours. Check the facebook and you will know what I am saying. People post a picture and expect someone to ‘like’ it. And those netizens that don’t care much for social networks are surely looking for their blog being read and commented, even if the comments were outright derogatory. I have seen so many professional relationships develop from someone answering your question on LinkedIn.
Small things, once again, mean a Big Difference and Cost Nothing!
So, if you really want to make a BIG difference in people’s life – look for the SMALL things you can do for them!
