Being Nice!
Acts of Kindness
Acts of Kindness
- Do something nice, anything nice. And, do it to, or for, another individual. It won't hurt...... promise.
- Doing something nice for someone almost always brings a very pleasant response. At the very least, it results in a smile. Doing something nice just might be contagious.
- Give up your seat on the bus or subway to a senior citizen, a child (or anyone who obviously needs it more than you do) before anyone else does.
- Let your little brother or sister choose the video for once, and don't whine and complain when you end up watching "The Emperor's New Groove".
- If a homeless person asks you for change, and you can afford to give, hand them something with a smile. If you can't afford to give, or if it isn't something you can support, refrain from making rude jokes or degrading comments, just smile and say, "Sorry, I can't."
- When it is late at night and you and your friends are taking in the warm summer air by cruising the neighborhood, keep the noise to a minimum. If you are driving around, don't keep the tunes pumping. If you are walking around, keep the chattering to a dull roar. You may be on summer break, but for most people, there isn't a summer break. They are still working.
