So everyday right here in my little town in Africa, I take a jog around my area. There is a playground in the corner of a school. Every time I jog by this school I see this old man sitting at a corner of the playground with a bucket sitting beside him.
On this Thursday, I was curious and I wanted to know what he was up to. So I cancelled my jogging session for the day and walked up towards him. When I got closer I noticed that the bucket was filled with grains. The man had a beautiful baby pigeon in his hands which he curled gently.
“Hi”, I said. “I jog pass here every day and I noticed that you are always here. I really love to know what you enjoy sitting down here all alone with these pigeons”.

He Chuckled. “Can’t you see am feeding the pigeons”, he replied. “An hungry man is an angry man, same goes to these pigeons. If they go hungry they would eat anything which might be poisonous to their body and then they would die in a painful way”.
Puzzled and did not know what to say, I just stood there looking at the man as he dipped his hands inside the bucket and he released the content in his hands away to the pigeons.
He continued. “I spend my mornings with these fellas out here feeding them. That’s my own insane way of a making a difference”.
Then I asked “But most pigeons live there life as hunters hunting for earthworms and snails and will eventually die because they will someday eat the wrong thing”.
“Oh yes, unfortunately they will eat the wrong stuff at a time and will die”. He agreed.
Looking at him in disbelief, I asked “Then why don’t you invest your time doing something meaningful? You do look like a good guy but believe me there are over a million pigeons over the world which dies every day and these pigeons don’t have people like you who are ready to feed them. So……how do you feel your little efforts here is really making a difference?”
He looked at me in amazement and smiled. He then dipped his hands in the bucket, and released a handful of grains to the pigeons. “Kids will always be kids”, he replied. “Son, if these pigeons could talk, they would tell you how I made their day every morning”.
MORAL: We can make an impact in the world with our small deeds, they don’t have to be at once or big but with a good heart, a person an animal, and one good deed at a time, we can make a difference. Get up every day and behave like what you do make a difference. It really does makes a difference. Sometimes we think that our small actions are irrelevant and only big decisions have the power to make people like us but we need to know that our lives are shaped by a moment-by-moment basis which are all made up by the small actions that we do.
