What does Rebound's value, "ripple-effect," mean to you?

I often see the visual of a stone being thrown into a pond and creating ripples. Each of us are the rock in the pond that is our greater community. The reach of one stone may seem small but the ripples they make can expand across the entire pond and inspire and encourage others.
