Showing kindness to NTS aspirant

Today I received a request form an unknown person on Facebook. He wanted to take suggestion for preparation of job assessment test. Because I had very good experience of that assessment, so I tried to explain him by being specific. As he would have prepared the test, so I tried to tell those specific portion on which he can focus in less time and can get good marks. It feels great when you show kindness in small acts, it could be small for us but could be big for someone who need this. This activity reminded me what I had prepared once, and I learned how solving small problem of stranger can help us to enhance our communication with strangers, which is effective for team work.

Activity 1

Helping a student to access video lectures

A Pre-Medical student, who is my neighbor, met me in evening and we have a conversation on recently held MCAT Entry test and its preparation (2017 MCAT Scandal) . During conversation, he talked about video lectures, and at that instant, it came into my mind that there are few E-Learning applications that are available free of cost at google play store. On my mobile, I showed him how to install PGC E-Learning application and how to access video lecturer, MCQS, and other preparation related material. He was surprised and was happy after exploring the application and its features. Showing kindness is good experience and it becomes great when you show in education of a student. Communication opens new ways to solve problems and to show kindness, this is all we learn and apply in team work.

Showing kindness to a Driver

In from my house, NLC is on road construction work. In evening, I was sitting outside my home, and then I saw that one mini pickup car had been stuck in the road because of heavy stones base on road. The driver was trying hard to get out of this but because of wheel rotation, the wheels were going more and more deep into the heavy concrete. I noticed this problem arising scene and told him that instead of forward gear you should try reverse gear. He tried this technique and succeeded in getting out of this problem. I was seeing that he is going more and more into the problem but he didn’t, because he was sitting inside the car and was unable to see the wheels. We should play our part in solving the problem, and it is essential ingredient of effective team work.

Showing kindness to Labor

I was entering to my home when I noticed that labors were working on road in noon without any shelter. I thought that they would need cold water for drinking, so I brought a chilled bottle of water and offered them. Taking care of others and especially labor or subordinate of your team really matters a lot to work efficiently in team.
