It would be nice to have more context. By itself, the phrase could be:
(hecho) un mundo de diferencias ... la diferencia en su (el) mundo ... un mundo aparte; ... mundos apartes If it is used in a sentence, like 'your donation would make a world of difference,' a possible translation would be: ... le cambiará la vida ... There are several possibilities. |

Sorry
Sorry, Rusty,
I was thinking more along the lines of: If you exercise every day it will make a world of difference in your health. Or: His change in attitude made a world of difference in the atmosphere at work. Something like that... |

Quote:
In the second example, I think cambió/mejoró todo would work. Or, maybe something like this would work: Su cambio de actitud transformó el ambiente en el trabajo. |

Quote:
en el trabajo. I think vaina is a word used by people from the Dominican Republic. A common modismo is No sigues con esa vaina. It means, please change the subject/please change that attitude.

Vaina is commonly used in several Latinoamerican countries, as Colombia, Venezuela and México.
It means: tema, asunto,or, even, cosa.
