I never once believed that the smallest act of kindness could change someone's impression of another person. I always assumed that large acts such as donation a huge sum of money or something equivalent would be... impressive.
I was proven wrong today.

"The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and that before this battle is over, even a god-king can bleed. "
- King Leonidas
"When you aim for perfection, you discover it's a moving target."
-Unknown
"Lead from the front". -Audi Murphy
"But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody." - Rocky
"The problem is not that we aim too high and fail, but that we aim too low and succeed." - Anonymous

The greatest paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider free-ways but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgement, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies more than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. There are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are the days of quick trips, disposable diaper, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology ca bring this letter to you, and a time when u can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
Remember; spend more time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person will soon grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one net to you, because that is the only treasure u can give with your heart and it doesnt cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind
And always remember:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Do you remember how we used to talk through Friday nights on MSN? Till the wee hours of Saturday mornings?
Do you remember how I poured my heart out to you? Do you remember the fun we had, word playing, making up puns as we go?
Do you remember how we used to spur each other on?
Do you remember, my oldest friend?
Do you?
