Answer:
So many burdens of society clutter our lives that it is often hard to concentrate on anything else. Our relentless routines begin to control our lives before we realize it. Constantly stressing over work and bills that the anxiety clouds our perception and you forget what you once lived for.
Your personality transforms into one that is not your own, and you become frustrated with life. I believe that kindness is one of the most important human characteristics. It is not that hard to say a simple ‘thank you,’ and yet it can really change the outlook of someone else’s day.
My sister once told me, “It takes more muscles to frown than to smile.” I have noticed that just being polite to the people around you can make the atmosphere around you more positive.
Yesterday, as I was heading to my appointment at the doctor’s office, I entered an elevator to go to the third floor where my doctor’s office is located. As I entered the elevator, I pressed the button and waited for the door to close. I was running a few minutes late, and I was a little concerned that I would not make my appointment in time. I noticed an old man enter the building and slowly make his way to the elevator.
Instead of allowing the elevator door to close on the old man, I held the door open until the old man was able to board the elevator with me. Even though I was running late for my appointment, I went a little out of my way to help this old man. When he entered the elevator, he grinned and said, “Thank you, young woman.” Even something as small as holding the door open for the old man had a positive impact on his day.
Kindness is the single most important factor to success in my life. Building strong personal alliances, mending bruised spirits, and taking unfamiliar people by surprise are just a few of the benefits of kindness.
I feel that nearly all of the friends I have in my life I have made through being kind. No one wants to hang around people who put him or her down, calls them names, or mistreats them. People want to be reassured when they are going through hard times. They want to have fun and have someone to laugh with. By being kind, people are drawn to me. Many feel they can trust me with anything, and they can.
I know that when I wake up in the morning and go to school, I will be greeted with many enthusiastic.In most cases, because I am kind to others, they show the same kindness to me. This is why I have such a large group of friends who support me. When I am sad, they make me happy. If a class or life situation is too much for me to handle, they want to be there for me. Kindness is one of the best ways I know to make lasting connections with people.
Many times in my life I have found that kindness can fix any problem one might have. Once a friend of mine got cut from her basketball team. To her, making the team was her whole life. When I found out, I called her and challenged her to a basketball match. I knew that she could easily beat me, and by doing so her confidence would be quickly recovered.
Another time I knew a girl who did badly on a test. This crushed her because she was accustomed to getting nothing, but I went over to her house: listened as she vented her frustrations, and reassured her all would be well. I gave her a great big hug and told her what an awesome student she was. One sour grade wouldn’t ruin her life. I was genuinely kind to her out of the goodness of my heart. In both of these situations and many others, just being kind and supportive can make a huge difference
Answer:
This happened a year ago.
I went to my grandparents home to attend some family function and returning back to Bangalore by bus. One old lady was sitting in the seat next to me. She was walking with the help of stick. we both board into the bus at same stop. Bus started and she just started asking about me and also told that she met with an accident some days. that's way she is walking with help of stick. she was using smart phone but she doesn't much to operate. she asked me to check some thing. later she called to some one and said that bus started and all(That person is his son's friend and he was supposed to receive her in Bangalore.) She was supposed to get down after my stop. Before going sleep she told me to wake her up when I will be getting down as she has to call his son's friend and inform him that bus has arrived. I said OK. Then I slept. She didn't sleep whole night. I woke up after 4 AM. i saw she was awake. And she told me that the guy who was supposed to receive is not answering her calls. And she was very tensed as she has luggage and she can't walk properly. My stop came and I was about to get down at that moment she asked me to help her(get down in her stop). It was around 4.30 AM. I said OK. We both got down in her stop, I found one auto after 5 mins and and i put her luggage in auto and told that she can go now. But she was still scared and asked me to come along with till her home. I thought for a while and said ok. she told the address to auto driver and we both were going. After 5 mins she called to some and said that she is coming to home along with me. After that so many questions running in my mind. Why that guy didn't receive her calls previously and after getting into auto suddenly received? What is happening? Is it planned? Am i going to be in trouble? Thinking "what if she trying to trap" , again "may be she really need help" like this many things were running in my mind. Finally I thought "may be she really need help, let me help her", All is well...
And finally we reached her home. Her house was little inside, that area was suspicious(near to Shivaji nagar). I took out her luggage from auto and then she asked me help her to keep luggage inside as her plat was in 1st floor. auto driver also helped me to keep the luggage. Fortunately everything fine nothing went wrong as i suspected.
And she told auto driver to drop me in nearest bus stop (Shivaji Nagar bus stop).
After that i just remembered what was happened, i went with a stranger around 4.30 AM, and trying to help her where the surroundings were suspicious.
Finally All is well...
