Seek out ways to be kind

“No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.” — Aesop

A random act of kindness is doing something nice for someone other than yourself without wanting anything in return. The beauty of kindness is that one simple gesture can make a difference. The “power of one” has the capacity to spread like wildfire. It makes the world a better place. I’m challenging you to do something kind for someone today. It can be a friend, family member or a complete stranger. It doesn’t have to cost tons of money, so don’t let that stop you. Times are tough. Many people are crabby(adj.脾气暴躁的), down or stressed. Brighten someone’s day. Bonus points if it’s anonymous. You’ll be happy you did.

Here are a few suggestions:

THANK-YOU NOTE: Write a thank-you note to someone today. There are so many people we encounter in the course of our day who might not feel appreciated. They don’t expect thanks, but they are certainly deserving of it. If you don’t feel up to（感到能做）writing, then give someone a sincere compliment.

LOOSE CHANGE（零钱）: Leave some loose change somewhere. One reader, Christina from New York, shared: “I gave up my quarter in the grocery cart so a woman wouldn’t have to fumble to find one in the cold. ”

LISTEN: When we ask someone how they are, how often does our attention trail off（减弱）? Take time to really listen to someone. Seek out someone who is lonely, and spend time with him or her.

GIVE: Think of someone to send an anonymous gift to. Or do an act of charity. You can donate your time, items or skills. There are people who will truly benefit from this selfless act.

SMILE: Make it a point to smile the day away. No one wants to see unhappy people. Refrain from being negative. You can help lift others simply by smiling. It’s infectious(adj.传染的，有感染力的).

“一个善举，无论多么微不足道，是永远不会徒劳的。”——伊索
一个不经意间的善举是在为他人而不是为自己造福，并且是不图回报的。善良的美在于一个简单的举措却能制造出不一样的效果。“一的力量”是可以像野火般迅速蔓延的。它能让世界变得更加美好。我极力希望你今天能为某个人做些好事。他可以是你的一位朋友，一位家人或者一个毫不相干的人。这并不需要花费一大笔钱，所以不要因此而停滞了你的脚步。世事艰难。很多人状态不佳，情绪低落，心力交瘁。帮助他们，照亮他们的生活。要是不留姓名那就更好了。如果你这样做了，你会感到快乐的。

以下是一些建议：
感谢信：今天，给别人写封感谢信。在生活中我们遇到太多默默无闻的人。他们不求回报，但事实上他们是当之无愧的。如果你文采有限，那么就给他一句诚挚的赞美。
零钱：在某个地方留下一些零钱。一位读者，来自纽约的克莉丝汀娜，分享说：“我把25分钱的硬币放在杂货车上，这样一位妇女就不必在打冷天里四处翻找了。
聆听：当我们询问别人近况如何时，我们的关心有几次是始终如一的呢？倾听别人的心声。 找出孤独的人，在他或她身上花些时间。
给予：想到一个人，匿名送他礼物。或做点慈善事业。你可以奉献出你的时间，物件或者技术。真的会有人从这些无私的物品中获益的。
微笑：保证用微笑欢送今天。没有人乐意看见一个不快乐的人。抑制悲观。你可以很容易地通过微笑让别人快乐起来。快乐是会传染的。
