Wow! I’ve been tagged by Kate (from the experiments in living blog) in the “twenty five days to make a difference” meme that was started by 10 year old Laura on her inspiring Twenty five days to make a difference blog!
Laura started her wonderful project in memory of her Grandfather who taught her about leadership and the importance of making a difference in the world. Laura reminds us that little actions go a long way… reading her blog entries gives me hope for the future. Good job Laura!
Now, for the meme …
1. In your opinion, what does it mean to make a difference?To me, making a difference is getting up and doing something to help another person. We all have different talents and abilities and I believe we are here to put them to work for the better good.
2. What is an example of a unique way to make a difference?
I think a unique way to make a difference is to listen to people with our hearts. We live in a really fast paced world and I think that many times people feel their voice is not heard. When someone speaks, it’s easy to be distracted by a million different things… but when someone speaks to me, especially about something important that is going on in their life, I like to really focus on what they are saying; I give my full attention to their words and to their body language and I can often “hear” things that they haven’t expressed yet.
3. Who has made a difference in YOUR life this week?
My son Loïk has made a difference in my life this week because he always invites me to play, paint, sing songs and laugh at silly things. He has brought joy into my life from the first moment I knew he coming into this world.
4. If I didn’t have a blog, would I still be making a difference?
Yes, I would still be working at making a difference. My blog is like a journal I use to remind myself how important it is to contribute to making the world a better place.
5. What is your favorite thing about the internet?
There are so many things I love about the internet… I love the fact that there is no limit to what I can learn. I love the fact that there are little or no boundaries and that I can get to know people from different parts of the world. I love the internet because it’s a place where my soul can roam free and find other souls who are of like mind. I love the internet because it brings an unlimited supply of new ideas and images into my mind and unlike tv, I can pick and choose exactly what I want to focus on. And finally, I love the internet because I hear of wonderful projects like yours Laura.
Have a great day everyone! Sending positive thoughts to you and yours.
