The power of a side comment made to me:<\/p>\n
When I was in my 20’s, I was at a friend’s house, finishing a glass of water. I was just about to rinse out the glass at the sink when my friend’s mother said, “I don’t understand why people rinse a glass without scrubbing the rim of the glass. Rinsing the inside of the glass doesn’t clean the dirtiest part where the lips touched the glass.” <\/p>\n
Woa, how did she know I was just going to swish out the inside of the glass without scrubbing the rim?<\/p>\n
From that day on, I always clean the rim with care. <\/p>\n
My friend’s mother died recently. Yet, that side comment she made that day completely changed the way I wash dishes today.<\/p>\n
OK, I know. The way I wash dishes is not close to finding the cure for cancer. Yet, it did change a lifelong habit in my life. <\/p>\n
My point is, a small comment can be remembered and change someone’s life, in big or small ways. I am sure she had no idea I would remember it to this day, and that everytime I wash a glass, I think of her. <\/p>\n
I wonder if I ever said anything that changed anyone? I hope it was positive. <\/p>\n
