Some Great Little Things by Booker T. Washington

Through a series of short anecdotes, Washington shows how seemingly minor actions—such as a kind word, a clean street, or a punctual appointment—can have a powerful cumulative impact. The essay strings together vignettes of everyday people whose small acts made a difference. The plot flows through these simple but meaningful moments. Washington argues that greatness often lies in the humble and overlooked. A thoughtful reminder of how little things shape character and community.
