World Kindness Day
We're encouraged to spread kindness like an infectious cold on November 13th, as part of World Kindness Day. Since studies show that people who experience kindness in action are more likely to do an act of kindness, they are more likely to do an act of kindness.
So, imagine if you're out for the day and your neighbor's garbage can has tipped over. Pick it up and return it to the corner rather than ignoring it and allowing the wind to make a mess. Three other neighbors take a smile and a nod as they arrive at work.
On his commute to work, one of those neighbors notices a stranded driver on the side of the road. He remembers your thoughtfulness and offers assistance to the stranded driver. Several passersby take note. Several passersby pay attention.
A woman in a company's office battles with a paper jam. She's had a rough day. The customer is now awaiting, but she recalls the stranded driver she passed earlier in the day. The customer authorizes the office employee to take her time. Anybody can have a bad day, but this stops it from getting worse and may even make it better.
Through knowledge and kindness, we can all have the ability to enhance each others' lives. Our ability to express our humanity, whether it's a friend, family member, coworker, or stranger.
