Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

I am a real fan of your books. I think you contribute a lot to our development. Now into the topic. I think that the best way to contribute to the change of the world is by changing ourselves and, in that form, changing the energy we provide the world with would bring in, what you call, a critical mass that eventually will bring a big world change.

By changing ourselves, we change the energy we add to the general consensus, and in that form, we contribute with some light and wisdom in a world of ignorance and darkness.

I have read in many books and in the net that we don't need to fight the darkness, The way to "fight" it is just by bringing light into it. That is what we have to become , a candle in the darkest night.

Answer 6

Sometimes the smallest things can have the biggest impacts.

I believe very much in the principles of "pay it forward". My way of improving the world is simple: I smile at strangers. I slow down to let other cars in front of me. I help people in small ways when I see they need it, such as helping someone in the grocery store.

These little things can have a large impact if the person helped, allowed in, or smiled at pays it forward... and on to another person, and another, and so on.

Answer 7

Teach someone else the things I know.

Answer 8

IMO...and in just "my personal opinion".... the prime... almost sacred duty of every individual is to generate employment.

I know such an idea seems out-of-place when compared with selflessly altruistic activities being done by philanthrophic luminaries.
Some might even term it as another form of greedy capitalism or exploitation of the needy.

But IMHO its the only thing that will improve the human condition, and is self-sustaining in the long term, without sacrificing the dignity of the receiver.

The surprising thing is each one of us can do it in our own little way...U dont really have to be filthy rich.
A very common behaviour-pattern is "let me do it myself and save some money and also remain self-reliant"
This acts as a great barrier to this philosophy taking root in the masses.

People R a bit stingy with what they have, and wanna hold on to it, stash it, save it etc.
Little do they realize that if they happily give away a part of it with gratitude & dignity...not only have they bought themselves time...a very precious commodity...but ten-fold times of what they gave, will flow in.
Such is the law of the Universe, as experienced first-hand by many.
But your intention must be pure. Your act should be driven by a genuine desire to enable people to earn their livelihood, and not just as a charitable investment with an eye on returns.

Even if each of us, gave out a minor task to someone more needy than us, for even the smallest payment... the trickle of cash-flow, will rejunevate not just the employed & the employer ... but will set off a chain reaction, whose ripple-effect will percolate through your neighbourhood, your community, your country & eventually all of humanity.

Answer 20

Being Vegetarian, Because Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita "As long as their is animal slaughter, there will be war and famine." We should not support unnecessary violence. We humans can live very nicely without eating the flesh of innocent animals. People want peace, but they support misery by supporting animal slaughter by eating the flesh of those innocent animals. If we want peace on earth we have to make even the animals feel safe. How can they feel safe when we are like vultures ready to devour them. Going me in making the world a better place by being Vegetarian. You are a famous and influential person if you teach others this sublime truth and follow vegetarianism you will help change the world. We can be a part of ending war and starvation by not eating animals one soul at a time. World Peace.

Start with yourself. Evaluate how you do things in your day to day life. Sometimes people think they need to make big changes or give money to some cause. If everyone did something small it would add up to a better world. I like to live by the saying "leave it better than you found it."

Teach your near and dear ones to live and let live. Let your sorroundings be simple and neat sorrounded with good thoughts and deeds. Specially if there are siblings teach them good manners and good habits and also knowledgeable about anything under the sky. They will pick up easily and teach many.
