How to Make the World a Better Place
When you think about people who have made the world a better place, you probably think of famous scientists or great leaders. That is not all the truth. An act of kindness can bring a smile to a person's face even if only for a moment.
Give away your money.
For example, if you want to help hungry children, you can try to find an international organization that provides food for those in poor areas. Every cent you give away will mean a lot.
Help a stranger.
Your small actions can brighten the day of others. Hold the door for someone whose hands are full. Help the blind cross the street. The key is expecting nothing in return for your acts of kindness.
Care about those you know.
Show the people close to you how much you care about them. Tell them they mean a lot to you. Make a beautiful gift for a friend. Take your husband to his favourite fun place if he has had a hard week.
Be grateful to others.
Have you had good service in a restaurant? Thank the waiter. Do you have a very good neighbour who is always there when you need her? Tell her how much you appreciate her being in your life.
If a friend needs skills in a certain area, offer your advice. Perhaps she is struggling to set up a computer, and you know how to do that. Offer whatever ability you have, but always remember to be polite.
A. Share your knowledge.
B. Keep walking forward.
C. Small steps, not big ones.
D. Give your seat on the bus to an old man.
E. Ordinary people like you and me can also help a lot.
F. Tell your children how much they mean to you.
G. Choose charity (慈善机构) that has meaning for you.
