How can one person make a 1% contribution to the world?

I believe that my life will be worth something in this world and not just take up space if I can contribute atleast a 1% change(difference) in a positive way to the world that we live in accept I dont know how to do so yet. Does anyone have suggestions or know stories of such feats.

    Oct 15 2011: Hi Igor, If you are able to make a difference in one person's life; you have already made a difference.If everyone would think like you; i am certain we all would live in a better place. For a while i questioned myself about the same and I realized that helping people around you is a powerful start.You are just not helping and supporting people that you love but you are also getting your own self ready for bigger challenges that often are emotional demanding.You might want to search if in your community,there are charities, causes or volunteer work that you can participate and maybe you can engage a couple of friends too..You can check out this website that gives you different links to charities and causes: http://www.nextgoodthing.com/Default.aspx?pageId=1141908 Good Luck and stay strong on your goal!
