During my MDP training I once told our trainer that people call me a snob and I told him that I’m already on the verge of believing it.  To my surprise he said “No you’re not!  You’re just choosy of the people that you go with.”  And I guess it’s true.  Because even in my Friendster and Facebook account, I don’t like accepting friend requests from people that I don’t know and people that I don’t like.  Well, until today that is.  A total stranger accepted my invitation to be a friend in Friendster.  I was really surprised because it has been over a month since I sent that request and I sent it with a lot of doubt.  I’m not really sure if it has something to do with my profile pic or if it was a mistake on his part but one thing is for sure though, it brought a smile to my face.  And it still does when it comes into mind.  And so I realized this is probably what other people feel when I accept their friend requests.  You know sometimes we can be so selfish that we don’t like to share things to other people.  Even our friendship.  I have ignored a couple of requests in Friendster and FB and I realize it’s not good.  Starting today, I will no longer ignore friend requests.  Not because I want to be friends with everyone but because of the notion that doing even the smallest of things, even something that we thought insignificant like accepting friend requests can actually mean a lot to another person and bring a smile to their face.
