  That would be the "for better or worse" clause?

  I just watched the ABC docu/drama about the asbestosis law suits, Bernie made one hell of a difference.On a lesser scale I've made a difference a couple of times, I reckon I could do it again for something I got passionate about.I reckon all of you could too if motivated enough...one bee, one bonnet et voila.

  Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world,indeed it is the only thing that ever has ..Mrgaret Mead.......I belong to an online lobby group Jack and I have signed petitions to svethe worlds bees..for me it's also the small things that can make a big difference in someone's life,and being prepared to advocate or step in when someone needs help and support xxFreya

  My children.....They have made me a better person.... My ex husband, made a huge difference in my life, arsehole nearly destroyed me, but without him, who he was or what he did to me, I'm not sure if I'd be the same person i am now, yes I've thanked him... Both my parents....My mother for being a good mother, but not a very nice person, my father for being a good father, a nice person and loving me unconditionally.... Me.....Well I hope that one day make a difference in someone's journey, actually I think I already do in small ways, from loving my kids and teaching them my learnings to make them better people, better parents, better partners, to helping someone cross the street, to having a chat to a homeless man, to putting a smile on someone's face. I think we all do, without even knowing it, whether it be bad or good.....💋

  Can the individual make a difference, more so than you may possible imagine, a single impulsive moment can change the world. The catch is knowing that you can never know what the ultimate result of that change will be. Thomas Midgley, Jr "had more impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history" His cause was good, his heart was in the right place, yet his research and discoveries resulted in more death, more violence, more damage to the environment than can be attributed to any other known individual. but really I blame a butterfly that on a sunny day zigged left not right.

  I’ve always believed in the power of one. I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing if I didn’t think it was going to make a difference and if I’m being completely honest, if I wasn’t driven by a sense of purpose in what I’m doing I probably would have checked out of this thing we call life by now.I think ultimately, wether we know it or not, everything from the choices we make to whatever we say or do (or don’t) makes a difference – if not to us, to someone else.

  I have a positive impact on everyone I interact with everyday. For some that I meet I know it will only be a very small impact, brightening their lives for a moment or two. For others like our 15 year old Foster daughter I hope living with us changes her life completely. Last year I'd had a terrible day at work and was making my way home on the train. The girl sitting opposite got up at her station and as she walked past handed me a folded piece of paper. The piece of paper read "A hug to you from a stranger just because you look like you need it xoxo" That small expression of care from a complete stranger brought tears to my eyes and changed that moment for me. I still have the note pinned up in my office. Every single person has innumerable opportunities everyday to change another persons day, or even their lives. Small things like hugging a friend or being polite to the grumpy check-out chick even if she doesn't smile...to more life changing things such as sponsoring a child overseas or volunteering for a worthy cause. It doesn't cost us anything to smile and be polite, it doesn't cheapen or weaken you in other peoples eyes...but what it will do is not only brighten someone else's life, but your own as well. Shaz

  We can all make a difference even in our smallest of ways. I know many have made a difference in my life both good people and nasty people. I choose to make my differences in a good way

  a friend of mine is a passionate and uncompromising environmentalist and I admire her commitment to her cause. it's very easy to chortle about tree huggers and their oftentimes fanatical antics, but no one would listen if they meekly suggested that changes need to be made.as we all know, if she and her ilk fail, you and me will be ok, but our grandkids?, not so much.
