With this in mind, I'm going to go into more detail about my acts of kindness. Main Point 1- A.) As a girl was trying to get into her dorm room, she dropped all the books that were in her arms so I helped her pick them up.…
Kindness report Kindness is attribute that everyone should try to be better at. Being kind to others not only makes others feel good but can also make you feel good. In Gordon B. Hinckley’s talk he shares a story of how a young woman came to find out this lesson the hard way when it was too late. Gordon B. Hinckley urges us to always be kind because you’ll never know when you’ll have another chance. One of my favorite Mormon Messages was made about a act of kindness.…
To jump or not to jump that is the question, So what if it's a transgression I would rather burn in hell At least then it will be without choice that I suffer I could leave this treacherous place, Which makes me think of death And continue to a place of torture…
One important effect of virtue is illustrated through kindliness. Jesus was a great example of kindliness. He would hang out with the lowly and sick when nobody else would even if people criticized Him for it. Kindliness is normally the first effect of virtue developed because it has been engrained in our minds since our first years, yet it still can be a struggle to become kind. “Kindliness forbids you to be over-bearing towards your associates, and it forbids you to be grasping” (Seneca 4). Seneca is saying that kindliness is putting someone else’s interest in front of one’s own interest. Even though kindliness is a simple concept, it is often hard for people because selfishness is an epidemic in the world today. “In words and in deeds and in feelings it [Kindliness] shows itself gentle and courteous to all men.” Kindliness isn’t just being kind in actions or words, but also being calm and genuine in one’s thoughts. Even during difficult and enraging situations; kindliness…
“Thinking positive thoughts will always empower you! Do it enough and it will change your life!” This quote is from Timothy Pina who in 2003 had a near-death experience which changed him. He is now a successful author who has devoted his time to writing children's fiction, poetry, and screenplays to help other people realize the importance of overcoming life obstacles. Having a positive attitude like Timothy Pina is the best response to conflict because there is a greater chance of the conflict ending peacefully and people moving on to improve their lives. This is very important because in our current lives we should try and avoid violence as much as possible.…
Now a days alot of people are really selfish and self-centered. Few people worry about others, and that is very depressing be\cause everyone should be concerned about other. In the book "To Kill a Mockingbird," when Jem and Scout were getting attacked and Boo wasn't selfish and he went to help them. Boo was concerned for them and for what was wrong with them so he went to protect Jem and Scout from Bob Ewell. What Boo did was an act of kindness and unselfishness, that is what we need now a days. Another example is when my mom was sick and instead of letting her clean and struggle, I cleaned the whole house and dropped my little siblings off at daycare for her. I knew that by doing this I helped her rest her body, and she would be proud and…

First, small acts of kindness might cause the domino effect. Second, acts of kindness can make people’s day. Finally, doing small acts of kindness makes you a good role model for younger people. As a result, a small act of kindness can make a positive impact on another person’s life.…
Trust and kindness are usually not very freely given, and it is rare that it is given to a total stranger. However, if someone is in need of trust, it should be the duty of any human to help them. In Langston Hughes short story, “Thank You, Ma'm,” the main character Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones demonstrated a true act of generosity when she took Roger to her home and allowed him to to be cared for, when she told him about her life story, and when she gave him ten dollars for his shoes. These acts of kindness were not required of Mrs. Washington, but she gave them to Roger freely out of the goodness of her heart. This is demonstrated early in the encounter when Roger approached her.…

The little things in life can make the biggest differences. Those small words of encouragement, those small praises, can make a difference in someone’s life. Each word of encouragement you give is like a beacon of hope in an ocean of despair. This hope can give courage during hardships. As Robert Collier once said, “Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement – and we will make the goal.” Words of encouragement and praise bring out the best in me which, in turn, brings out the best in other through my teamwork, my courage, and my hope in times of little hope.…
Dr. Wayne Dyer once said; “Given the choice between being right or kind, be kind.” Dr. Dyer desires for us to learn how to imagine what others feel when you gloat about being right. This relates to my life because I have to remember when my family gloats and corrects me sarcastically, even if they're just teasing me, and remember how I felt before I act. Also, I think that if everyone were to follow this precept, then we would live in a kinder, more helpful society. Finally, my friends help me feel what others feel when hurt by people who brag and act smug whenever they are right, and whine and complain when they are wrong. Overall, Dr. Dyer encourages understanding towards all of…

People take saying thank you for nothing but a word could possibly change how someone feels about you or how they feel about that do it can do more then show your kindness. One example of a thoughtful act is helping someone with their bags or walk across the road or even helping them with their homework.…
We have all had one of those days. The days where you just want to go hide under your covers, and block out the world. Those days where we have a lot to do and no time at all. That old woman that just cut you off, or that ticket you just received for speeding to work is just the cherry on top. You may think that your life sucks, or the whole world is against you until by the Will of God someone restores your faith in humanity. That one stranger who just brightens your day, and keeps you going. Just one smile, it takes one smile to turn a complete strangers day around. That person might not know your life story, or where you have been, or what you’ve been through. Just the power of a simple act of kindness can turn a horrible day around.…
In Paul Ford’s, “How to Be Polite,” he discusses the lessons he has learned over the years on how to be an undeniably pleasant person. He gives examples from times throughout his life where kindness has come into play. Ford shares experiences from high school, where politeness went unnoticed and, for the most part, unrewarded. However, later in life kindness helped him in the workplace and in social scenes. He also mentions that politeness has helped him look at people in a vulnerable way, that each and every one of them has problems that are unknown to others.…
Often, doing something is more powerful than saying it, mostly known as actions speak louder than words. Most people can only remember the things you do for them, not what you say. If you say that you will help out around the house no one will notice anything until you actually do something. One thing I like to do is to make an effort to reach out to underclassmen to show them that older students can be pleasant to younger ones. Another example of treating people well other than just saying it is, treating others the way you want to be treated.…
