What human qualities and abilities do we have that allow us to make a difference in the world?

Answer 1

If you make a difference to a single person, you’re already making a difference in the world. Perhaps not on a global or significantly visible scale, but a difference all the same.

I found this list at the website listed below. I thought it was nice and a few more qualities than I could think of.

10. Think before you act.
What you do affects others. When you think first, you are more likely to do the right thing and every one benefits.

Encourage people and set a precedent for them to encourage others. One day you, too, may need encouragement.

Helping leaves a good impression on those you help. In turn, they are likely to follow your example and help others.

7. Be honest.
A world without trust is a world without faith.

6. Respect others.
