The POWER of "little things" Can we change our community by improving on the "little things"? Malcolm Gladwell says yes. WanttoRead Ratethisbook

In his book "The Tipping Point," Gladwell cited the high rate of criminality in new York City from 1960s to 1990s. At that time, new York was already the finance capital of the world. But during that period, around 650,000 serious crimes and murders were committed yearly in that city. No one could solve the problem. Then 2 police consultants experimented on making improvement in new York City's subway train system, used by almost 7% of New Yorkers, but where conditions then were horrible. The waiting platforms were poorly lit and damp, while the walls were covered with all kinds of graffiti. The trains themselves were filthy, the floors littered with trash, and were often late. First, they removed all the graffiti, and painted clean the platforms and the trains/ Then they posted plain-clothes policeman in all stations to arrest those who did not pay train tokens. In a few years, criminality in New York City declined sharply by 65%. Two little things-removal of graffiti and

From local radio station, television, newspapers, programs, you can hear or read the volunteers speaking of changes. And now, a Filipino lawyer, author, lecturer, philanthropist and politician is trying to change again Filipinos by discarding bad habits and trying to instill new ways to change the country ...more 18likes∙

Oftentimes we say that we are just one citizen and we cannot do anything about the problems of the country. Wrong. This book tells us Filipinos that there are twelve little things that we can do for our country. This little book was written by a lawyer in 2005 with the aim of having as many Filipinos read this so the language is simple and feels like written by a bright elementary or high school student.

Quoting Late President JFK, ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. That statement may have been uttered by an American President but nonetheless applicable to any citizen who really loves his motherland. During the recent Presidential campaign for President Noynoy, this book reminded me how I a lone Filipino can still make a difference however small. The important thing to remember is that you can, if you want. Pay it forward, Filipino. 5likes∙

This is a very good book. It should be read by every Filipino...That's what I suggest. The exposition tells 12 things that should be done to help our country rise up from obscurity. The 12 things are actually simple things that we usually overtook, and by doing so, we miss some step on the ladder that hinders us to reach a monumental change. That’s why; I think Alexander L. Lacson had written the book. He wanted to instill in us the simple social acts: following traffic rules, asking for OR, avoi ...more 3likes∙

This book. I liked this book very much. It's so inspiring! those 12 little things are really life changing once you've learn how to do them. One thing that I remembered so well about the books are the habits and respect. These things are really a key to change as what he said. And it inspired me to do some of these little things starting next year =) 2likes∙

I felt like I was reading an essay written by a high school student. Anyway, the 12 things were doable. (Afterall, they were "little things.") But there was too much "elaboration" on each to-do that the author tended to veer away from the topic. More people would probably read it if it was an article on the newspaper. Or a blog entry. That was easier cascaded. Plus, you'll get the message through to a lot of people. At one point, I can't help comparing my reaction to my friends' comments when that ...more 1like∙

My mom got her copy of this book during a seminar (this sounds familiar...). A sequel to the 12 Little Things Our Youth Can Do to Help Our Country (12 Little Things) to which I read next, this book—yet again—inspires its readers to go about another set of 12 things that we can actually do to value our Filipino roots and identity. 1like∙

A good book, although not my cup of tea. Maybe it's because of my cynicism, but I find this piece too optimistic. Yes, following the Fallacy of Composition, the things written in this book is probable if and only if all of us do the things listed here. But no, that's not the case. Not even everyone can get a hold of this book. Maybe someone should distribute copies of this book for free? 1like∙

items listed here are cliches: follow the traffic rules, throw your garbage properly, pay your taxes, etc. It could've been better if this was written in Filipino so that more matitigas ang ulong Filipinos would get it. Or at least read it until the 30th page. I don't have anything against cliches. You know what, the 12 things listed here will indeed help to change this poor country.

I'm not ready to read this book. In theory it's a book every Filipino should read. I agree with the concepts this book has: 1. Do the little things 2. In order to effect large scale changes, start with changing your habits I just cant't take the advices to heart. It asks me to trust the government but at the state our government is right now (left and right corruption), it's kind of hard to do that. The book made me annoyed rather inspired. Like
