Rendition During Books 12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do to Help Our Country

The POWER of "little things"

Can we change our community by improving on the "little things"?

Malcolm Gladwell says yes.

In his book "The Tipping Point," Gladwell cited the high rate of criminality in new York City from 1960s to 1990s. At that time, new York was already the finance capital of the world. But during that period, around 650,000 serious crimes and murders were committed yearly in that city. No one could solve the problem.

Then 2 police consultants experimented on making improvement in new York City's subway train system, used by almost 7% of New Yorkers, but where conditions then were horrible. The waiting platforms were poorly lit and damp, while the walls were covered with all kinds of graffiti. The trains themselves were filthy, the floors littered with trash, and were often late.

First, they removed all the graffiti, and painted clean the platforms and the trains/ Then they posted plain-clothes policeman in all stations to arrest those who did not pay train tokens. In a few years, criminality in New York City declined sharply by 65%. Two little things-removal of graffiti and presence of policemen. By they changed the culture and the face of New York.

Gladwell says "do not underestimate the power of little things." they can spur a revolution.

If "little things"can change a city, they can change a country.

"Life is made up of little things. Greatness follows if we learn to be great in little things," says Charles Simmons.

Because of his book, Gladwell has been cited as one of the World's 100 Influential people by TIME Magazine this year. And his book is changing the mindsets of people around the world.

I felt like I was reading an essay written by a high school student. Anyway, the 12 things were doable. (Afterall, they were "little things.") But there was too much "elaboration" on each to-do that the author tended to veer away from the topic.More people would probably read it if it was an article on the newspaper. Or a blog entry. That was easier cascaded. Plus, you'll get the message through to a lot of people.At one point, I can't help comparing my reaction to my friends' comments when that

Oftentimes we say that we are just one citizen and we cannot do anything about the problems of the country. Wrong. This book tells us Filipinos that there are twelve little things that we can do for our country.This little book was written by a lawyer in 2005 with the aim of having as many Filipinos read this so the language is simple and feels like written by a bright elementary or high school student. I agree with some of my friends who thought that this could have been more effective if
