Mine is actually a very simple thing. I was in my highschool choir and every years we had 2 solo concerts. I was listening to one of the girls practice and she started crying because she was so scared to sing in front of everyone. She thought that everyone would hate it. When she was finally on stage singing, and looking terribly frightened I leaned over to the person next to me and said "Standing ovation, pass it on." When she was done, everyone stood and shouted and whistled. I didn't think of it again until our retreat at the end of the year. We had a candle lighting ceremony and when it was her turn to hold the candle she told us that when she received her standing ovation she knew right then that there would never be anything that she couldn't do. We weren't really friends and I've haven't spoken to her since. It's amazing how much effect we can have on a person without them ever knowing you even noticed them.
