make people feel good (read all 2 entries…)
Feeling good in action 4 years ago

Today I came back to this site after a long time because somebody had requested a comment (thank you brooke_lynne2000) and it did make me feel good to see that now 7 people had adopted this goal too. It is said that “People will forget what you do, People will forget what you say, but they will never forget the way you make them feel.” So making them feel good is likely to be an efficient way to make a difference in the world. I wish there were “how to” books about that. Have you heard of anything?

Read “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie. He has so many ideas on how to make people feel good.

Hi,

One of my friends and I thought of creating a site which would be a day to day diary of good deeds or anything good done by a person (to promote goodness).

At present we have only uploaded a teaser page (www.yimgood.com) in the form of a Good vs Bad poll (do visit and vote for good, vote any number of time, no limits).

We will upload the actual site very soon, please send me any suggestions or feedback you have to promote goodness. Some things which we have thought of are things like a goodness diary – where a person posts anything good done by him/her. People visiting the site can then send their comments to the poster.

I would be more than happy to incorporate any of your suggestions into our site.

Regards,
suparn

How do you know it's a good deed?

Hi Suparn!
As Sartre said, Hell is paved with good intentions. I’m really pleased to see a whole web site dedicated to goodness. But I don’t know if it’s efficient to count one’s own points. I believe it is more productive to “make people feel good”. It’s not easy to evaluate either but it’s somewhat more objective.
There is a fun book by Nick Hornby called “Being good” on the derive of good intentions and the relativity of goodness…
Good luck

thanks for ur suggestion

Hi Mr Guynerner,

It’s very interesting to know that the world is divided into two faction .Good or Bad .Which side of life(good or bad) do we opt for is the key question ? After going through the usual daily hectic schedule when I reach home sometimes I do ask myself wether I have done any good deed today ? Have my actions bought smile to any face ? Which side I am of life Good or Bad.

With these thoughts My friend and I created this website where people will come and post their good deeds it is like their online diary of good deed .Knowing that how many people are doing good deeds will inspire other people who will come to the website and might be possible that they also start doing good consciously and subconsciously .

"DO GOOD TO FEEL GOOD"
