Size matters but not always. You must size up a situation or a person where it really counts. It's not just by the numbers but by one's actions and their impact. One must measure a person's character over one's wealth. Small acts of kindness can deliver large amounts of hope. But being small minded, tearing others down to look better and sizing people up by their material wealth rather than strength of character is petty. Be open-minded and not small-minded. Hope has no boundaries.
