I think that people as individuals are small but their actions can be huge. If people have the attitude of the quote, society as a whole will never advance and grow. Each individual plays a vital role when it comes to making an impact. The collective efforts of each individual makes all the diffrence. When I think of this quote, I think of the movie pay it foward. In this movie a young kid comes up with a project where you do something good for a person and then that person does something good for someone else and it keeps going in a snowball effect. This shows the power of the individual and how important each person's efforts are in society.
