Make a Difference

October 1, 2008

In exactly two weeks, on October 15th, you can make a difference. A huge one. The opportunity is here, all you have to do is post and entry on your blog on that day!

What I’m talking about is BlogActionDay. On this day, thousands of people will post on their blogs about a certain topic. Last year, we talked about the environment, and this year, the topic is poverty.

The biggest question you may have is: How will I make a difference by posting an entry on my blog? Let me tell you how.

• You can influence people.
• You can motivate people.
• You can motivate yourself, giving yourself an initiative.
• You can make people aware.
• You can spread the word.

Ever heard of the butterfly effect? As you may have heard this in a movie, or somewhere else; the butterfly effect is when a small action, can start a whole range of chain reactions that create huge change in the world.

Look at inventions for example. The discovery of oil was an important catalyst in leading people to travel using jet planes. Every action in this world usually has an effect that further affects the world we live in today. We can influence these actions. We cannot guarantee the effect, but we can try to act, and hope that it does create a positive influence in the world.

We act based upon what we know and what we hope to achieve right? If we do not act, things don’t usually happen on their own.

This is your chance to act, to spread the word, to make a difference. Speak up, and let yourselves be heard.
