I hope I make a difference in the grocery store, on the freeway in traffic, at work and home. I'll give you my coupon for $5 off, let you cut in and wave with a smile and do the best I can. Richie Alan Naggar  I did have to ask a few people at our Christmas party if it's Okay to hug them on the touching issue lol

I hope so; recently one of our local police officers lost his life in a car accident. His daughter has decide I am her favorite neighbor.  We had not met before but during 2 fund-raising events she has ran up to hug me.  Sunday, she hugged me tightly and said, "I am so glad you are here." I don't know if I have made a big difference, but she certainly has made a difference in my life.

There are a lot of politicians who are being forced to resign, because they've been touching people as they go.

I am very confident that I shall never be fully aware of the lives affected and touched through and by what I do.

However, as I bash, bop, bang and elbow my way through the multitudes I say 'thank you," and I 'smile' and am ready to listen, to be with them in their moment.

A few return to say , 'Thank you."

A few do not return but pass it forward.

Some take and never give. 

It matters not.

My responsibility is to make a difference, not to judge what others make of that difference. I must say 'YES," because I believe if one does the right things they put in motion a dynamic in the Universe that is spelled GOODNESS.

Sometimes yes, but it is a journey and I can do better!

To the extent that I won't end up on the business end of a lawsuit! Risky to give a damn hug in this sillyass world.
Of course, you try to be the reason that somebody else caught a break. We have so much.

Hopefully to the first.

And the second part will have to stop as it could be exagerated!

Some.  I guess that's what I can hope for.

Yes

What a great question and amazing answers. 

I try to make a difference every day. But I never touch people. That can get you in trouble nowa

 Hugs are better than drugs.

That is my heart desire  - while holding tightly to the hands of mercy and grace upon the journey -

I believe so... just not like how our senators are touching people...

I would like to think so Richie Alan Naggar 

Richie,

Yes, it is something we both set out to do every day!

I believe I do touch many as I go....

I would like to think so. But as Roy Kelley said "that determination will be made by others" in the end.

That determination will be made by others.

I hope so, as it is important.

I like to think I am,  I touch homeless people with giving ugly sweaters that I do not wear.

I was but I've decided to stop touching people after the recent sexual assault charges.

Richie...I never thought too much about any contributions I have made in my life. But as a US Marine Disabled Vietnam Vet. I read a quote that made my day, every day so here goes: "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if the made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem."- Ronald Reagan So, I hope I did some good in my life.

I hope so but it's tough sometimes to see if you are making a difference. 

I like to think so

Yes, I do. I influenced many by motivating them to be better and follow their dreams. They say I have a talent to see in a person his/her talents:)

I try to do that each day. It is important to be sensitive to those around us.

I hope so.

I hope so.  I try to make a difference in the people I am around every day.

It has been a lifelong pursuit.

I strive to make people smile every day

With all the political news lately, I am apparently not touching people the same way others are

I'd like to think so.  I try.  

Every day!

Yes.
