You matter

A very nice post by Seth Godin - http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2009/06/you-matter.html

* When you love the work you do and the people you do it with, you matter.
* When you are so gracious and generous and aware that you think of other people before yourself, you matter.
* When you leave the world a better place than you found it, you matter.
* When you continue to raise the bar on what you do and how you do it, you matter.
* When you teach and forgive and teach more before you rush to judge and demean, you matter.
* When you touch the people in your life through your actions (and your words), you matter.
* When kids grow up wanting to be you, you matter.
* When you see the world as it is, but insist on making it more like it could be, you matter.
* When you inspire a Nobel prize winner or a slum dweller, you matter.
* When the room brightens when you walk in, you matter.
* And when the legacy you leave behind lasts for hours, days or a lifetime, you matter.


And reading this one has made a good start of day for me. Only when I was trying to figure out the reason of my existence, I so much needed to read such a post. Thanks Seth Godin!

I know there are times when one is disturbed or depressed , but in any case why should one question his very own existence!!! I feel that it is like taking things to extreme...
