Trivial things, good and bad

Sometimes we overlook things that seems trivial TO US. We do it and forget about it the next minute.
But it may make a lot of difference to receiving end, much more than you know. This applies to both the good and bad.

Some of the little things, good.

1. Accepting the pamphlet being given away, to help the pamphlet distributors finish their job faster.

2. Making sure the rubbish you throw, especially when it's small, gets into the dustbin properly, and not outside and around the dustbins, to make the garbage collector's work easier.

3. Acknowledging the tea lady or office cleaner, like we do to our colleagues, to make her feel like a part of our team.

4. Putting back a stuff borrowed from someone, exactly at where it was taken from, so that it's easy for the owner to find it.

5. When leaving a place, making sure that the place is as clean as when you arrived, or even cleaner.


Some of the little things bad, but done almost naturally..

1. Exclaiming somebody's inadequacies or what YOU deem as inadequate. (e.g. "hidung dia senget sey...." )

2. Forwarding an email which shocked you off your seat, so that some other person can experience the shock you had.
(unless you're genuinely happy to have received it and want to share your joy with others)

3. Purposely picking up speed, when a car has signalled to filter into your lane so that it cannot do so before YOU.
And horning or flashing your headlights at the driver, if he/she manages to do so.

4. Ignoring the slipper/shoe placed outside a house/mosque, that you accidentally kicked away.

5. Cursing anybody for whatever reason.

"That Day mankind will proceed in scattered groups, that they may be shown their deeds.
So, whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom, shall see it.
And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom, shall see it."
Al Quran, Az-Zalzalah 99 : 6-8
