Better or worse never the same

When I was younger every year at Basketball camp they always said you will either get better or worse you will never stay the same. As I got older I started applying that to my life, although it took awhile. So every day I try to keep reading, learning, and thinking. What are you doing to keep getting better or worse? If you choose not to read and not to learn in other ways are you becoming worse? I do not think you are necessarily becoming worse but the others around you are getting better. With how fast technology and the world changes now more than ever if you relax and get lazy for one second the whole world passes you by.
Today while delivering flowers, a job I always did not like doing for awhile, I realized what a difference each interaction can make. You can either make someones day better or worse, it will not stay the same. As I delivered flowers around I realized that by me smiling and being interested in everyone that everyone smiled and talked a little more. Even the lady that was waiting for her perm to dry I talked to. Why do we not try to do this with everyone we meet. The world would be a much better place.
