This was an inspirational video for all to see. It is a great complimementary video to the Go-Giver. Truly this is a solid illustration of the need for people in the world who inspire, encourage, and motivate others. I can personally attest to and from what I've seen of the majority of those I've come into contact over the years is that great people and/ or people who may just be ordinary, but end up doing great and extraordinary things are moreso inspired by others to do so.

It reminded me that small signs of appreciation like ... a smile, can turn the other person’s life around. This short story makes me think about the "Go-Giver" conceptions in another light: what you offer is strictly related to who you are as a person. The main character was "giving" in every aspect of his life — smiles and sincere words of appreciation and admiration. In other words, he was giving a part of himself without searching for a personal gaining ... and for the receivers: "Don't forget! It's not everything about you! Look around and you will see people with similar needs ... so offer what you have the best because your life can change too. Thank you for the wonderful book ... it helped me remember what success really means! This is an amazing, funny, full of meaning movie!

Each of us has the power to inpire encourage and inspire others - no matter what we do or what position we are in. The Bible says that we "are the light of the world"...so turn on those bulbs! Thank you for the great video and the great message. Go-Getters...time to get going! Never, ever think that you, just one person, aren’t valuable!

It's no wonder you related so strongly to the main character in the film. You are a lot like him (oh, except for your being a woman and all that, but you know what I mean). :-) Thank you for your very kind words. You are one of my favorite people in the world and continue to amaze me with your kindness. Thank YOU, Dixie,

It's worth watching even if you refuse the lessons. But the heartbreaking moment is when we hear the hero say, "No one's ever said that to me before." For all of the praise and media attention he had gotten, no one had given <i>him</i> the same validation he was giving others. Makes me remember the importance of letting people know how much we value them. So often we think those people have so much already, how can our words of thanks mean anything? But they do, if we are authentic and sincere. So here is a sincere "thank you" to everyone out there who takes time to give a smile and a kind word. And here's a great big THANK YOU to you, Bob, for sharing, and to you, Natalie, for sharing it with him. We'll just keep passing the smile around.

I think what touched me in the video was that you never know how the blessings and validation touch people in waves and ripples that you never knew you could... In making a difference to one, it spreads :) Like sweet honey... You’re the best Bob!
