It was my first week at elementary school. An older kid made a comment. It was probably one of those weak joke comments kids (and adults) sometimes make. That comment influenced a behavior during my next 10 years at school. And decades later I still recall the scene.
Take care with what you say. A word of encouragement can change a life. One derogatory comment can also change a life.
Which would you rather receive, even today?
Which would you like to say?
Be one who encourages at all times. Don’t be the person who destroys dreams.
