10 things you can do to change someone's life.
I was standing in line, buying some roma tomatoes and Serrano peppers to make the famous Hemeon sauce, when, without asking, the people in front of me allowed me to come in and pay before they did. I was surprised and impressed. Polite gestures are easy to make and make a real difference in the happiness of others.
"Don't be yourself. Be someone a little nicer."
Being kind doesn't really cost anything, but it has wonderful rewards. Here are some things you can do to brighten someone's day.
Try saying "excuse me?" or "can you repeat it to me?" when you don't understand what someone's saying to you instead of saying "what?" or "huh?».
Help someone with their luggage to put it in the top compartment.
Clean the surface of the sink with a paper towel after washing your hands in a public toilet.
Deposit your gym towels in the right place to do it, not on the floor.
Take food to someone in a stressful situation. You don't even have to cook, you can order it to go. For example, someone who is moving, someone who has just had a baby, or a family with someone who is sick.
He acknowledges that all jobs are difficult. Recognizing the efforts of others makes that person feel valued and important.
Give some congratulations. Open iMessage right now (or any chat application you prefer) and tell someone who is doing a great job and don't ask for anything in return.
Be honest. I had to learn this lesson the hard way. Telling pious lies or half-truths is not good. Telling the whole truth may hurt at first, but most of the time, people want to know the whole truth.
Listen honestly. Leave your phone, stop looking around and pay close attention to the person you're with and try to absorb what he or she is telling you. Don't interrupt while they talk and don't try to solve or appropriate their problems or tell them that something similar happened to you. You'll look like a self-absorbed person who doesn't care what they're telling you.
Drink water. I firmly believe that drinking water will help everyone to be a little more pleasant and patient.
Thank you for reading me! Go ahead, be nice!
