Small act of kindness. Someone said “people will not remember you for what you did but how you made them feel.” I have proven this lately from comments I got from my friends and cousins for what I have done to them over 30 years ago and I can’t believe that they can still remember. First the of our laundry lady from way back. She had a 5 year old that she brings along when she do our laundry. I look after her if I am at home or take her out with me to the carnival, shopping or the park. She has been doing our laundry for maybe over 5 years so I saw her grow up. Her now has her own family and . I met them last July and I was so touched when her told me that their mum has been telling them about me and how I made her feel because of what I did. Such as giving her food she has never eaten before like apples. In those days apple is a luxury. I have forgotten all of that but she never did because she said I made her feel very special. A cousin of mine who is now living in LA and has a very successful career also told me that she will never forget how we made her very happy the way we treated her when she was still a . She experienced movie house then only because of us. She tells that to her family too. Friends of mine are also very grateful when they told me they will never experience Starbucks if I had not taken them there. From their comments I believe I have done something good. But wait there’s more. Last Friday when I was in the bank I overheard a young man probably in his early twenties asking a bank teller to allow him to have an overdraft of twenty dollars because he is hungry and his government allowance is not due until few more days. His request was declined and that made me so sad and uncomfortable, he reminded me of my . He must be really desperate to ask the bank like that and face embarrassment. What I did I took a twenty dollar and gave it to him. I ask “will this help?” Almost teary he said yes. He said thank you very much and he said “oh you are a beautiful lady.” What an expensive complement. They said if you give something back it comes back many folds. We went around the mall after that and did a bit of shopping until the shops closing time. On our way back home I decided to get some cash from the ATM machine. Guess what? I couldn't believe my eyes there was a one hundred dollar note left on the machine cash dispenser. I look around and there’s no one else around. What did I do? What else will I do? If I can give I can also accept. What random acts of kindness have you done or received? If you haven’t I suggest you take the opportunity to do it. I am sure it will make you feel good. In giving we also receive. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.” |
