Small things matter, shoud they?

Unarguably, we all get influenced by the small things that happen to us. Case in point... someone lets you get in the lane in peak traffic, a free coffee at starbucks, a thoughtful gift, a call from an old friend etc. are all small acts that would put you in a good/upbeat mood.

By the same token, a rude customer service associate or a curt e-mail or an expected-phone-call that never comes are things that would swing the pendulum the other way - make you, somewhat, upset/pissed.

The point is, you can either make yourself immune to both or none. Should you get immune and prohibit trivial acts to control your emotional juices? Or should you let them run?

While the above is a personal choice, the recognition of the fact is important for all. Because, each day, our small acts are knowingly or unknowingly making an impact on people around us... Net sum, are you making a positive impact?
