Validation

Hey, it's May. Sorry, for my lack of blogging. Anyway, today is Saturday. Just another lazy Saturday morning. So, I'm browsing through YouTube. And found something interesting.

YouTube video Validation by Hugh Newman. It tells the story of a man who works by validating parking tickets. He gives new meaning to the word validation, actually, he gives true meaning to that word.

Sometimes, we're discover something that people do see, but maybe, we're probably too shy to speak up. Afraid that our act might be rejected. Or that they might get laughed at. What happens when you try to make people smile, but you can’t? You keep on trying?

Don't you realize, make people smile is priceless. Just to know that you’ve brighten someones day, it's amazing.

Feeling down? Need a validation, maybe? Go watch the video. It’s worth it. Then go out and make someone smile. Doing this can make a big difference in other peoples lives. ;D

heys there,
thanks for dropping by and commenting my blog. I really like this entry, it does mean a lot when someone makes my day, just anyone really, like this one time in the morning at 6am I was on the bus and as the sun was rising this old man came on the bus so happy and he was whistling "danny boy" gosh I love that song and that moment just made me smile and made my day.


Hope you have a lovely day x

13:38.......I burst into tears. Oh it's amazing how people started to forget how to smile, and get it back. How they forgot the most basic and essential thing of their life. Ahhhmazing find, really. And seeing this has just made me wanna smile all the time!

i'm in love with Validation. I'm twittering a link to this, as lame as that sounds. =]

Ania said...

that's so great! sometimes I struggle to think of ways to make my life more meaningful and actually I believe that every day you make other person smile is a day well spent. We should never underestimate our own power to make other people happy and often a simple compliment can do that. Corny, but true ;D
