Practice random acts of kindness

When we went to leave, we had a couple of drink tickets we didn’t use. So I saw a couple headed to the drink ticket booth and gave them the tickets. They were astonished and we were tickled to give them away.

I feel like I do this already in small ways: helping my peers with their coursework when they need it, never saying no when someone asks a favour of me, holding doors for people, and every ride to college I always seek to let someone join the flow of traffic from junctions. This year I’ve encountered rush hour most mornings each week and I know the frustration of gridlock. I give a generous wave in advance and lay off the throttle, as they wave back I give them a nod and a smile… which unfortunately they can’t see!

I will be putting more effort into putting a smile on anothers’ face. I live in a town with a large elderly population. Next time I get the opportunity maybe I can do something there.

Yesterday, my cousin and I helped an American woman in a store. She wanted to buy French sweets. It was so cute !
She really was nice and thanked us; it was a pleasure.

But it can’t hurt to be more conscious of it, right? There is a lot of sadness in this world but also a lot of good people. I think that it’s quite powerful how we could all do something that may seem small and insignificant to us, but could leave someone else feeling positive for hours. I have just finished my second year of uni and I sent a quick thank you email to three of my most inspiring lecturers, I just wanted to make them know that their hard work throughout the year does not go unnoticed. It doesn’t have to cost money either. Free happiness. Excellent stuff.

Brought cookies for everyone at the hospital

was that a guy came to our car in need of cash to get his car out of the impound so me and my friend gave him some money

I got to do an awesome thing while in NYC last week. I have been hording a $100 bill in my wallet, for an emergency. I went to the bank and got 20 $5 bills. Each time I would find a down and out homeless person, I gave them a $5 bill.

I concentrated on those individuals that weren’t actively begging for money, but just going about their day. I received exactly 20 smiles + 20 thank you’s!

My family there always treats us to very, very nice meals at awesome restaurants. You can’t possibly eat it all. All doggie bags were taken to the homeless to eat. More thank you’s.

It is not hard to be nice to people and to do the right thing. Why don’t we do it more?

Helped a woman with her luggage in the subway

it was the 2nd time i gave blood and i have to say it was just as scary as 1st time. it made me feel a little dizzy but i hope this will do someone good.

I think I do this a lot without even noticing (well i guess that proves the point that it’s a RAK).

I work in the operating theatre and our anaesthetic nurse just had her knee operated on late last year. Now a surgical procedure usually takes long and she was looking after a patient under sedation. I thought I’ll offer her the chair I was sitting on (I was the circulating nurse), and she thought it was very kind of me.

Funny enough I wasn’t even supposed to be in that theatre since I already finished my shift doing gynaecology, but we were one down, so I stayed and finished the endsocopy theatre, and they had nine patients, so that will take quite a while. But it all went well and we finished earlier than expected!
