"Do not consider any act of kindness insignificant, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face." --Muhammad
Restaurant Ripples: Kindness in Action
A real-life story of an anonymous act of kindness starts simply: "So there we are sitting in our little booth, finishing up a, tasty meal. It dawns on us, it’s time. Who will it be? Who will it be? Hmmm…. them! Who? Them, the couple behind me over my left shoulder. All right, lets do it! Our waiter comes over and asks: Would you like to take the rest with you? 'Yes, we would. Could we have our check? Ahhh, we’d also like to pay for that table.'" Then, the tale takes an interesting turn.
BE THE CHANGE
Make an effort to meet someone with a cheerful face, particularly if s/he would not have been a likely candidate otherwise.
