Recently I was cycling along the Thames River early in the morning on a natural path from Kew Bridge to Richmond.
The night before some heavy winds have fallen some trees. I passed one fallen tree
which blocked around 50% of the path. Around 200 meters further down I passed another fallen tree which blocked around 75 % of the path. I decided to leave the trees as they were but would try to clear them off the path if they were still there on my return.
After around 20 minutes the first tree still blocked 50 % of the path. I got off my bicycle
and cleared the tree off the road. At the same time, a middle aged lady was running past me. I noticed that she looked at me. After a few minutes when I passed the other tree which was still blocking 75 % of the path, the running lady who just passed me was trying to clear the tree off the path. I got off my bicycle and offered my help. Together
we cleared the tree off the path. After we finished clearing the tree, we both felt great, having achieved something. We briefly thanked each other
with a big smile on our faces and continued on our ways.
It was a small action which inspired another person to also take action. But also please be aware that no action or unsuitable action may also inspire
