We may be small but Our Life is not Worthless

A tiny star in the sky knows that it is very small and the sky is vast, but it still twinkles with hope and confidence that it can win over the darkness around it. Its shine can bring a smile to someone’s face whoever is looking up in the sky.

It knows that its job is to shine, so it fights and contributes.

Similarly, we all know that the world is too big, but we should never forget that everybody’s life has got some purpose and we can make this world a better place.

All we have to do is play our roles with full honesty and contribute what we have. Big, small, doesn’t matter. Whatever the world needs, we must deliver.

“Everybody does it, so what If I do it too?” I hear these words every time I try to stop someone from doing anything wrong like throwing a chocolate wrapper or chewing gum in the open, or turning off the tap while applying soap to dishes to avoid wasting water. They say I am ‘overreacting.’ Am I?

Remember, we may be very small but our life is not worthless.

Our small contribution might bring great changes.
