The purpose of our existence is humanity. Humanity is all about kindness, kindness with the people around us, kindness with the animals/birds and even kindness with all the living creatures. Without kindness we are no more different from animals. So the kindness and humanity makes us different from beasts and animals.

We had to write about the 5 acts of kindness which we did in this week.

1) I talked with my house maid about her life, her problems and makes her realize that she is not small or less in dignity but in fact all human beings are equal so she should not be ashamed of whatever she is doing but be proud of her hard work.

2) Teach the children free and talked with them about their lives. Tell them to know their selves and the surroundings. What is the purpose of life? How Muslims are different from non-Muslims. What are our responsibilities as a human being and as a Muslim?

3) Forgive one of my friend who say something bad to me. I took the initiative after 5 days and talked to him and resolve the conflict

4) Cooked food for family. Taking out time from my busy schedule. And surprised everyone.

5) Motivate one of my circle member to start Project work and do not leave the academy.

Experience:

It was a pleasant experience for me. As it helps me in ice breaking in several ways. I am type of a person who always say sorry if I am on a mistake but never took initiative if others on a mistake. So first time ever I resolve the conflict even I was on right side. I talked with the people about their lives and motivate them in every possible way. Helps my family member in house chores they were surprised that how I took time for them from my busy schedule. It makes my surroundings better.

Learning

I learn many new things from this experience that we can help people around us with our kind words. Our good words can be a life for some one. It makes me realize the problems of the people around me. Otherwise I was hesitant that whether I should ask people about their problems or not. I feel better and satisfied when I saw happy faces around me. I never think before that I can motivate people, I can makes them feels good. Smiles are contagious, if the people around you are happy so it makes you happy and contented person as well.

Relevance in job scenario:

This experience or doing kindness is very much important while working in teams on job. Everyone have different mindset, different opinions. If we don’t have courage to listen to others respectfully, resolving conflict capability, taking initiatives for certain task, we cannot be a team player. While working in a team someone should be there to resolve conflict, to motivate the team in stressful time. Bold enough to take initiatives to talk with the top management and tell them the concerns and problems of team. So this kindness activity is totally related and important while working in a team on jobs. It makes a person Most Valuable Team Player.
