“You are but a speck in the universe, but you are a very important speck. You brighten someones day with single compliment. You give someone comfort with a single act of kindness. You make someone laugh with a single joke. You give someone worth with a single handshake. You give someone joy with a single smile. You give someone attention with a single act of listening. What you do is noticed. What you do is contagious. If other specks copy your actions, it would make the whole universe a better place. You may be but a speck in the universe, but you are an important speck. You are one speck that makes a difference! Tom Krause”
