There's no doubt that there much about the world which many would argue needs to be changed in some way, hopefully for the better.
Now, change sometimes takes time and doesn't always happen in the obvious or visible ways. Sometimes, real change can take a long time to have significant effects. And in some cases, it may happen over night due to a major crisis, incident, or event.
My question is without promising to save the world, rather than waiting on the world to change, how do you think your personal contributions in the world can produce or create needed changes which benefit the world in any number of ways?
What minor or seemingly insignficant changes do you think have changed it for the better?
Impact and contributions don't have to be major projects. They can be simple things you do everything which have an impact you never realized, whether now or later
My personal contributions - Through education, I have had the benefit of learning more about people through their situations and circumstances - from various socioeconomic backgrounds, encouraged me to be more respectful and understanding of individual, social, and cultural differences. This has taught me to listen more, engage in more perspective taking, and be more capable of respecting and appreciating differences between people. I try to demonstrate this awareness or new level of understanding when I'm chatting with anyone, so that they feel accepted and understood. Not that this always works or works perfectly but but when I do put the effort into showing more understanding and respect, people tend to feel more comfortable, less frustrated because they feel someone has made some effort to understand them.
