A SNOWFLAKE TURNING INTO AN AVALANCHE

Like a snowflake turning into an avalanche, Zeynep's heartbeats were getting louder every second. She was going to present her two-year thesis to the committee behind the door. "How should I walk in?" she thought to herself. Then her mother's words came into her mind... "Walkin confidently, smiling and saying hello." Before entering, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Let's hope for the best..." and knocked on the door of the room. She hesitated with the sound of "Please come in!" coming from inside and said "Hello, my professors..." with a sincere smile on her face. Most of the professors on the board knew her well, which put her at ease. Even though she tried to look calm, her hands were frozen.

Zeynep would be graduating from the university if her thesis was accepted. She would no longer be a student, and start earning money. This thought also made her excited. A inner voice was reassuring her, "You just start, the rest will come..." While another voice was scaring her, "What if they don't like it and reject...". But whether she passed or failed, she had tried all she could. At that moment, the chairman of the board looked at her with a smile and said, ""Hello Zeynep!"

These words, these smiling faces, made Zeynep feel a sense of sweet relief. She suddenly calmed down, handed out her thesis file. She walked to the center of the room and confidently started her presentation. Everything flew like water after that. Now it was over, a huge burden had been removed from her shoulders. She was deprived of sleep and put her social life on hold. Sometimes she had to suffer the whims of her professors. She even felt hopeless at one point. She thought this thesis would never finish. But now she was proud of herself. She had the desire to smile and say hello to everyone.

People sometimes underestimate the importance of a small gesture like saying hello.  But most changes start with small actions. People sometimes ignore the garbage on the ground, but many things change when they pick it up. A child who sees it learns not to throw garbage on the ground. Or he realizes the wrong he has done.

The little movements I do to build muscle make me want to do more. It's that little move that brings that positive result. People often underestimate or ignore those small moves. "But what the hell, I don't need to do it..." But a lake is formed with the little drops. Although we use this saying only when we are saving money, in fact, all the savings in our lives are made with small but continuous steps.

Saying hello to someone you don't like can be the start of repairing relationships.

The same thing can lead to a negative outcome. A small mistake today can turn out badly. A one-time lie to that customer. Hiding a small defect in your product. Or that slice of cake you ate when you were trying to lose weight. Even if your inner voice says, "Nothing will be wrong from once!", these things always design the next phase. So that little piece of cake becomes a bite that pierces the sack.

That inner voice! If we are going to do something useful, it makes us fear or despise it. But if we are going to do something harmful, it says, " Nevermind! What can happen from such a small amount?"

But if we know that everything small in this life leads to something bigger, then we can start to look at life differently. Because a small change in behavior can open different doors in your life.  Just like a small snowflake turning into an avalanche.
