I’m addicted to writing restaurant reviews for Google maps. When I go to a restaurant, whether I like it or don’t like it, I write a review either way.
You might ask: why do I do it? What’s in it for me?
There’s definitely no money in it of course. I have written hundreds of reviews but Google has not sent me a penny nor do I expect that they ever will.
Then why do it Asif you might ask..?
Not everything you do is going to have a payback in a monetary fashion. Sometimes the reward is the feeling you get when you know the impact you made.
For me in this case, I knew in my heart that I could help folks by writing honest, straightforward and concise reviews of places that I have been to so someone else who considers going there knows what to expect. That small impact makes me feel fulfilled. Just like writing this article makes me feel fulfilled because I’m sharing my thoughts with others who will eventually read it.
No matter how small of a contribution, you can always contribute to others and make your impact with what’s in your hands. Never forget that.
