Hello and welcome to my blog.
My name is Sebastian. I thought this is not just about outlining some facts about myself so I decided to upgrade my About page.
So what is this about?
This is all about making a difference. It doesn’t matter how small (in this crazy world) we feel some times, it doesn’t matter how many times we fail. We know ourself. We still can make a difference. A little difference is still a difference. Here I will tell you a little story.
It wasn’t very long ago. I was working as bar man. One day I notice a man in his early forties. He wasn’t a random alcoholic. By looking in to his eyes you could tell he was going through hell. What’s going on pal? I asked him one day. Well Seb, he said sometimes life is just not worth living. I insisted to hear his story. It was about his woman. She left him. His world had collapsed. I asked him if he had a family. He said he had his mum and 2 brothers. But now I am in my way out he said. It was easy to read the pain in to his eyes. It’s not over pal I said you need to get some help. It’s not worth throwing away your life for that. You need to get some help. Ask your doctor for help. Be strong and change.
But he kept coming for drinks everyday. As we had become friends, seen him like that wasn’t fun. I wanted to help him but I didn’t know how. So one day I asked a very good friend of mine. If you want to help him he said it’s very simple dont give him any alcohol. How? I am there to serve people. You asked me how to help him and that’s the first step he said…
Next day he asked for his beer I said to him: No, i am not giving you drinks from here no more. If you have decided to kill yourself go and do it somewhere else. But I thought we were friends, he said. Yes, we are and that is why you not getting any drinks from here. He went. And I didn’t see him for months.
One day I bumped in to him in shopping centre. We shake hands. He had changed.Thanks he said. What for I smiled at him. He had changed and that make me feel I done my bit.
So this is the mission of my blog; MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE’S LIVES.
Thank you for visiting my blog and KEEP SMILING. 😊😊
Good on you! Every “little” thing can help. You might have taken a risk but you showed him clearly that you cared. And maybe that was what he needed. Someone who cared.

Yes, that’s true. I thought might the worst happen to him. But when I met with him after while,i was happy to see that he was well and he had turned his life around. Anybody can, but with a bit of help.
Thanks for the comment
