Kindness is a quality of being friendly, generous and considerate. It means sharing without expecting anything in return. Kindness gives happiness to both the receiver and the giver. Kindness is not simply if you behave nice and speak gently with others. Rather it is if your actions benefit someone in a positive way.

Kindness is a language which a deaf can hear or a blind can see. we don’t have to do really big things to prove our self kind. we can take small initiatives by making a stranger smile with our kind act. I was assigned to do five acts of kindness and i really enjoyed doing it. It gave me an inner satisfaction and true sense of happiness. They are as follows:

  1. Each time i get a pair of new clothing, I donate the older one to needy people so I did the same this time as well.
  2. I went to pick up my daughter from school and i saw her class mate was crying because no one came to pick her up from the school. So I immediately took her to school office and asked them to call her home. There I came to know that her driver came to pick her up so I personally handed over her to the driver and spoke to her mother. That’s how I helped her reaching home safely.
  3. I donated my baby’s crib,clothing and blankets to Edhi foundation so the other deserving kids must take the benefit.
  4. My maid was not feeling well so I did the cleaning and let her take some rest and gave her money as well.
  5. My best friend lives in Spain and she was going through some crisis, so I listened and consoled her and realized her that every person has their own struggles and we have to deal it with courage. At the end of our conversation, she was a bit relaxed and I was feeling good after encouraging her.

Why we need to be kind? Because kindness has power that can warms our heart and make us feel alive. We need to step outside of our self and connect with others through kindness. we gain peace of mind and satisfaction by being kind.

Kindness deserves to be taken seriously at work place as well. By helping others, your own happiness, life-satisfaction, relationships, social connections and positivity are increased and life becomes more enjoyable. Kindness brings sustainability to work place. So it is better to find simple ideas on daily basis for showing kindness. we can do these simple acts to show kindness:

  1. Showing gratitude for little help
  2. Remembering names and giving respect
  3. Stopping rumors by interviening
  4. Greeting others colleagues
  5. Offering help and giving positive feedback
