During a conversation with a very good friend of mine, I said this quote that had come to be a part of me then - that was about five years back - and I didn't know who actually quoted this quote, but I do today.
"The smallest deed is better than the greatest intention" - John Burroughs
I love this pic and that's thanks to thechangeblog.com . Hi, it's been a while though. Back to my story, some days ago I was having another conversation with the same friend and he reminded me of one of the days and conversations he'd never forget having with me, that I said the above quote. Instantly I felt guilty and happy.
Guilty that I may not have been true to what I may have preached to someone else years ago and happy that I was privileged to feature in someone's story of change and success. I imagined him on a platform addressing a crowd of captains of industry, business moguls or at an award ceremony giving his speech and mentioning my name maybe. Is that cheesy? :)
Seriously now, you could consider this for the week or the whole of your life. We all have dreams whether we think they are big or small and sometimes wish that we'd somehow wake up and find the dreams come true. The truth is, they don't come true by wishful thinking. You have to take a step no matter how little and if possible everyday. Imagine you had a dream of owning a burger company 3 years ago, you watch the news this evening and a new burger company was featured on the business news segment to have a grand breakthrough in the burger business, how would you feel? The best time to plant a tree after ten years ago is now! Or what do you think?
