Every now and then you stumble across something small. A word, a photograph or just a gesture so small they almost didn't get noticed, but of which you feel with every vessel and vein in your body that it made a difference.
This is the true story of Kent Nerburn, a sculptor that was driving a NYC-cab to make a living, in which he was called for a ride, that became anything but a regular cab ride for him and his passenger.
After watching this epic short 5-minute video; please try to make a difference in somebody's life today or tomorrow. Stop thinking it needs to be huge, do something small that matters. Just try it!
