"Sometimes it's the little things that make life worth living"- Nadine Gordimer
Noticing and appreciating the little things around you can make a huge difference in your life. They say "the bigger, the better," but that's not always true. Sometimes, noticing the small details around you, can bring a kind of joy that big things can never offer. A hot cup of coffee made by your mom, a smile from a stranger, or a compliment from a loved one—little things like these make your heart happy. When someone listens to you with genuine interest, or when they notice that you're not feeling well just by looking at you, you feel loved and cared for
Imagine your day like this:
You wake up and start the day with a smile. You drink a hot cup of coffee and thank your mom for making it. You enjoy your delicious breakfast. You start traveling, and your auto driver says "thank you". You get on the bus and find a seat while many others are left standing. You give up your seat to an elderly lady, and she smiles at you. You arrive at college, and your professors smile at you as they see you. You attend your lectures. While walking around the college, you notice beautiful flowers, trees, butterflies, deer, peacocks, and more (this may apply only to MCC students, I believe). You feel inspired and write a poem admiring them. And your day goes on like this.
Isn't this the kind of day we all hope to have every day? You cannot expect everyone to be nice to you or everything to go according to plan, but you can be nice to others and make someone's day better.
Try giving someone a genuine compliment, offering help when needed, giving small handmade gifts, cracking jokes, and expressing your gratitude—while also respecting their space. Noticing little things like these will definitely make us feel happy and content.
Noticing tiny details helps us realize that life is not just about achieving but also about enjoying. To reach big goals, we need to appreciate the small things that bring us happiness along the way. I remember my mom teaching me that a one-rupee coin should be respected just as much as a hundred-rupee note because, without the one, the hundred cannot be made. In the same way, tiny things matter and they contribute to the bigger one's.
