“A simple act of kindness can make a tremendous impact on a person’s life.”
It is said that “One small act of kindness, One giant leap for humanity” or “A simple act of kindness can make a tremendous impact on a person’s life”.
In order to understand these quote’s in a better and most effective way I think to do some small random acts of kindness in order to know what kind of results came out from that small random acts, a random act of kindness is exactly what it sounds like: doing something that is kind for someone else, especially something that they are not expecting, so in order to understand the word kindness more clearly and better and in order to know the result of that small act of kindness I do some small random act of kindness within 24 hours period of my life.
- I was in the University when my friend came in the class. She told us 2 days ago that she has an interview so I asked my friend about her interview that how it was? After hearing this she became really sad and told me that my resume was not an eye catching one it contains a lot of mistakes and I didn’t go to an interview along with a cover letter as they told me before to bring a cover letter along with resume in your interview but I didn’t knew how to write up a cover letter and I have no basic idea about that, the interviewer became really angry and insulted me by saying that come again for a job when you have a proper resume and a cover letter in your hand. I really feel ashamed at that time. After listening to her carefully I show empathy and try my best to make her chill and relax. when she became normal somewhat I told her about my Amal career prep fellowship program and that how they taught me to make a super hero resume and a super partner cover letter, I helped her almost 3 to 4 hours in order to make her able to make an eye catching resume and cover letter. After completing it she become really happy and thanks me a lot for my help as it can be seen clearly that she became really happy and her heart was just filled up with love, respect and affection for me more than ever. I feel really good in fact amazing after doing this small act of kindness as it give me inner satisfaction and a sort of happiness and I was just thinking that how by just doing a small act of kindness people fall in love with you.
- Later on when I was on my way to home from university I was stopped on a red signal when a lady with a small baby of 6 to 7 years of age came toward my car. She was all sweating as it was a really hot day of August, I opened the mirror and before I ask anything from her she start saying: “Baji I am really hungry I have no money to feed my little son or to take some food for my own self. Baji please help me ALLAH will help you. During this conversation the signal became green and I went on she thought I was going like all other people but I park my car on a safe side, go to that lady who were still standing on a signal and asked her to come with me I was going to buy a food for both of them. She start walking with me, we cross the road and there were a lot of shops of food and a grocery store in a sequence. I asked her what they wanted to eat but she said buy anything you like as we have to extincted the fire of our stomach. So I bought some roti, daal and some kabab for them and also give them some packed food so that they can eat it at night or their other family members can eat that food when they go home. The lady thank me so much for this kind act and gave me so much Dua’s like Allah blessed you baji, Allah will give you more and more IN SHA ALLAH. It give me a sort of inner satisfaction and a tranquil like this is what all I needed at that moment.
- After that when I reached home I meet my mother and she was feeling fatigue as she woke up early and start doing work like a machine all day till night. I asked her about her health she told me that she is not feeling good and now she has to go to the kitchen in order to cook food for us. So what I did was, I told her to go in her bedroom and sleep for 1–2 hours, today I’m the one who is going to make food for everyone at home. After listening this she was like: Are you serious? And I said yes I am :) just go and take some rest I know you are tired as you work all day long for all of us, today you were going in your bedroom and do rest like us and I’m the one who is going to make a food for all of us. She just kissed my forehead and do a pray for me that May ALLAH ALMIGHTY give everyone a daughter like you. You know at that time I realize that after a very tired day in university this Dua and that kiss on a forehead is all that what is needed after a stressful and a tired day in order to reveals all the tiredness and stress in just one second. It make me feel just amazing I can’t tell you in words how I feel at that moment, how I enjoyed that little moment.
- Later on I was just surfing my Facebook and thought that I never give any compliment on any post of my friends neither on their wall. So I start writing good compliments on the wall of each of my friend. And after reading it they all started to send cute loving emoji’s and messages to me which are really sweet. And one of my friend called me and told that she was just sitting idle thinking about the old good time and was really sad that how the college life ends and now no one of us has enough time to meet but when I logged in to my Facebook account and see your post on my wall, a big smile comes on my face, I just forget about my sadness and make a call to you in order to let you know that this little post by your side just make my day memorable and sweet as honey love you for that. So this is what it all take. Your few minutes can make someone’s whole day memorable or might be remove their sadness, so I always recommend you to do small acts of kindness as it gives you the inner satisfaction and joy along with your beloved one’s.
- At night when we all are having dinner my sister just told my father that in the morning she has to attend her farewell party at her college and she doesn’t have a matching sandal with her clothes, can you please take me out for a shopping? My father said her now this not the time I came home after working for so many hours and I am really tired and feeling sleepy please dear take out any other sandal’s of your’s and wear them for now I will bring a new pair of sandal for you later on. After hearing this she became sad and discuss with me now what the hell should I wear in my farewell now it’s my last function in college and I wanted to look the best among my all friends. So I just thought a little bit, go to my almirah, take out my new pair of sandal which I bought to wear on Eid and gave that pair to my sister as they perfectly match with her dress. When she saw this act by my side she became astonished and asked me what I want in return from her? Why am I giving her my new sandal’s which I bought to wear on Eid? So I just tell her that I can buy new sandal’s before Eid but once your farewell gone then it will never come again in your life and I honestly don’t want anything in return of it I just wanted you to enjoy your farewell as much as you can with all your heart. She just seems like really happy and relaxed like the biggest problem of her life was just solved by her loving sister, she was like I am the luckiest girl on earth on whole planet who is blessed with such a kind and sweet sister. She gave me a gave, a sweet kiss and say thank you thank you thank you to me continuously. She was really thankful to me as well as happy as I solved her biggest monster problem of life. She promised me that she would take good care of my sandal’s and give something amazing to me for my this act as a gift and that would be a great surprise for me as well.
And so after my these few steps of kindness I realize that it is actually our kind act that provide us the inner satisfaction and happiness which we can’t get in any other thing of the world. The act of kindness not only make you love-able, respectful and affectionate in your personal life but also it creates a huge positive impact on your professional life as well. You can become a role model of your peers or the man/woman they wanted to become in their life. It also makes your relations strong as I experienced and realized that it’s a fact that kindness makes your relations stronger than ever before whether it was your personal life relations or professional life, you get benefit in both the cases. Just start doing small act of kindness now and see the magical results by your own :).
