Hope

You never really realize the impact you can have on other people's lives until it hits you straight on your face. Up until now I had believed that we all go about our daily work in our little shells and my work didn't impact anyone directly in any way. A couple of days ago I realized that this one project I have worked on has infact given a job to 5 previously unemployed people and when they met me I could see the gratitude in their eyes. This to me meant so much more than all the accolades and the promotions and the pats on the back over the last few days. The ray of hope I saw in them made it all worth it in the end....
