Hashem created each and every one of us with unique talents. It is up to us to explore deep
within ourselves to develop that potential. While Rabbi Avigdor Miller zt"l was known for his
breadth of knowledge and piety, his appreciation for Hashem's creations were even more legendary.
He taught us not to take the "little" things in life for granted, to realize there are no little things.
One time, a relative of Rabbi Miller entered his kitchen only to find the Rabbi with his head submerged in
the sink. A few moments went by and he finally raised his head from the water. When asked what was going on,
he answered that he had just overheard someone complain how polluted the air was outside. Afraid that the
comment may adversely affect his appreciation of Hashem's vital gift, he acted as he did.
