It is rightly said that, “when there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness”.

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. I was assigned a task by Amal Academy to do a Act of Kindness within 24 hours. I did my best to fulfill the task.

1- I was standing on a bus stop waiting for my University bus. I saw an old man with probably age of 80, finding the difficulty to cross the road. No 1 was going to help him. The road was very busy. There was massive traffic on the road that day. I went to the man, helped him in crossing the road. In return the Man supplicate for me. I felt inner joy by doing this.

2- I was in university, revising the syllabus before going to exam hall as there were still 50 minutes for the exam to start. A girl passed by me and said, “Ohh, dont read this topic as this is not a part of syllabus”. I said, “It is, Our teacher taught us and Once in a lecture, He marked that Important. So it is worthy to learn”. She then start requesting me to taught her. I have to revise my own syllabus of 5 chapters and I have completed the revision of that topic. Instead of refusing her, I taught her. I brief her in an appropriate manner. She understands. She thanked me & went to attempt the exam. In exam that topic come having 40 marks. After exam, girl appeared & started to thank me. By my help, she able to attempt that question.

3- I came home. I was tired as I attended continuous 4 lectures of each 1:30 minutes. I met 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. Then I made all the 3 dishes. Though I am not good in cooking but the cooking I did was appreciable.

4– 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.

5- At night, when all of my family members were gathered in drawing room. Men were discussing sports and politics and women were discussing upcoming gathering functions. My Chachi discuss she needs a Sandal of black color tomorrow to wore in her daughter school. I bought sandal yesterday to wore in university. It was new, expensive & one of my favorite. I went to my room put it out and handed over to Chachi. She become glad by getting that sandal.

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 …..
