The Random 1 stories emphasized for me the impact that human beings have onone another. One philosophy I try to carry with me everyday is that every encounter with another person, no matterhow minute impacts the life of that individual. Even if you dont recognize it right away, the smallest things can really influence how we feel or act or communicate with one another. For example if your having a really bad day where no one seems to care or notice you at all. Then on your way to the store or wherever you pass a woman on the streets who never even met and will most likey never see again. She smiles at you, a pure genuine smile and kindly nods her recognition that you even exist. All of a sudden you might not feel as bad as you did before. You might feel as uf things have finally started to go in your way. Or even better you might actually smile back and feel a complete turn around. That one tinyencounter had the power to really impact you. The same can go for negative expereinces. You can be having a wonderful day and all of a sudden someone rudely pushes pass you as they walk by. Now, instread of happiness you feel anger. That one small encounter again, was able to impact you. Knowing this, I try my best to make sure that I make as many possitive impacts the lives of those around me as possible. I may never know the impact I had on any specific individual and this is why I try my best to make possitive ones. The Random 1 series illustrates this philosphy to the fullest; possitively impacting the lives of people. The more this is done the more willing individuals will be to making possitive impacts on the people around them.
