小举动，大感动。。。 Small act, deep impact…
他时常嘻嘻哈哈，很会搞怪，可说是开心果一个。。。
他很创意，很有才华，会音乐、唱歌、画画等等，更是电脑奇才。。。
他算是蛮成功的，有自己的生意，也蛮受朋友欢迎。
有一年他生日，忘了是谁的主意，说一起去吃宵夜。。。
只不过是一间很平常的咖啡店，没有什么特别节目，大伙儿一起去吃，自己点自己想吃的。
有人带了一个小蛋糕来给他一个小“惊喜”。。。对我来说，这种庆祝再平常不过了，也算不了什么“庆祝”。
大家聊聊天、胡闹一场，吃完宵夜就回家了。我有注意到那晚他不像他一贯的吵闹、多话。。。
回到家，收到他简讯说：
谢谢你们！我真的很惊讶你们帮我庆祝生日，从来没有人曾经为我庆祝生日，所以我一时太感动，说不出什么话来，不知道该怎么回应，只想说真的太谢谢你们了。。。
他还说感动的想哭！这常常看起来很有自信的一个人？！
我想对我们很多人来说生日蛋糕和礼物已不是什么大不了的事，甚至还诸般挑剔；可是原来还有很多人从来没有什么人为他们庆祝过他们的生日，也没收过什么礼物！我想帮人计划一个小惊喜或送一份小礼物，我们很多应该都很轻易做得到吧？
有时候对我们来说只不过是一件轻而易举的举手之劳，但对他人来说却意义深远，我们没察觉到但却深深触摸及感动了他们的心。很简单的一个小举动，却也可以有很大的震撼和感动，我们还是赶快行动吧。。。
He is often quite jovial and mischievous, quite often the fun of the party…
He is rather creative and talented, knows music, can sing, draw etc, and is a computer genius…
He can be considered quite successful, has his own business and quite popular with friends.
One year on his birthday, I cannot remember whose idea it was, we went for supper together…
Just an ordinary coffee shop, no special programme, just a group of friends having supper together, and we all ordered our own food.
Someone brought along a small cake to give him a little “surprise”… To me, this kind of “celebration” is at the most ordinary level, it cannot even be considered a “celebration”.
We talked, joked and went home after supper. I did notice he was not his usual noisy and talkative self…
Upon reaching home, I received his text message, he said:
Thank you all so much! I was really surprised that you all celebrated my birthday for me, no one ever celebrated my birthday for me, so I was very touched and did not know what to say or how to respond… but just to say thanks so much…
he even said he was almost moved to tears! I mean for someone who always seems so confident like him?!
I think to many of us a birthday cake or gift is not really a big deal anymore, in fact we can even be very fussy about them. But as a matter of fact, many people never ever had anyone celebrating their birthday for them, nor received any gift for that matter!
I think helping to plan a little surprise or giving a small gift to someone should be quite easy for many of us, right?
Sometimes what is to us a tiny and easy act may mean a great deal to others, and may touch their hearts in a very deep way without us realizing. Just a very simple act but it can have a deep impact, we had better get up and act quickly…
