“If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito”
— Dalai Lama
Simplified Meaning:
Even a tiny mosquito can disturb your sleep and show that small things can have a big impact. Imagine you're trying to sleep, and a mosquito is buzzing around you. It's just one small insect, but it can keep you awake and make you uncomfortable. This shows that even if you feel small or insignificant, you can still have a strong effect on the world around you. For example, think about Greta Thunberg, a young girl who began by protesting alone about climate change. Her simple action of sitting with a sign outside her school helped start a global movement involving millions of people. This means that your actions, no matter how small, can make a difference. So, if you want to change something, don't be discouraged by your size or age. Start with small steps, and you may inspire big changes, just like the mosquito that can keep someone awake all night.
