Hello to all the Awesome IFians out there! 🤗

Well, I'm back with a new Advice...

Those Small Gestures Matter in Life!!

Who says it's only the biggest and most important things that matter in life? Who doesn't value the importance of a smile? a hug? a pat on the shoulder? a thank you after a favor?

All of us get so buy in life that we wait for a special day or event to say what's in our heart.  We wait and wait and life goes on until we realize one day all the things we should've said, but failed to.

Don't let that happen to you.  Do and say everything that you've had 'time' to do and say till today.  Life's always busy, a project today, so then another assignment tomorrow.  Don't wait, life's short, life's precious.

Those small gestures in life are important.  They make you happy and they make you realize that people are caring. 

Next time, some one drops his or her books, stop by to help him or her pick it up.  You might get 30 seconds late to wherever you were going, but your kindness will go a long way.

Next time, let someone join you in the long cafeteria line even if you don't know him/her.  That thank you will please you too.

Next time, go sit on the table where someone is sitting alone.  Introduce yourself and see if he/she is worried/tensed about something.  Your small gesture might bring about a good mood.

Next time, when you're getting a plate, get one for others around you as well.

Next time, when you see a familiar face, say 'Hi' even if you don't remember who he/she actually is.  Don't hide your face or pretend you're looking somewhere else.

Next time, after the dinner, say Thank You to your Mom.  Acknowledge her hard work.  Tell her you love her.  You don't need a special reason to say that.

Next time, you see your friend tell him/her that your life wouldn't have been the same without him/her.

Next time, you see your siblings, hug them and tell them that in spite of all the fights, you love them very much.

Life is short, friends, don't just let it go while you're meeting deadlines.  Take a few minutes out because those small gestures DO really matter in life!!!

Love,

Mahi

Of course not, forgetting the problems is not going to take care of them.

My whole point is that most of us are so engrossed in problems and life in general that we forget that those  small things do matter in life.
