Whether you donate money, give some of your time or simply just display kindness. The second and more challenging is to show kindness to the people you interact w i t h d a i l y, y o u r a c q u a i n t a n c e s , colleagues, family and friends. Research has shown that the old adage, “it's better to give than to receive” is true after all. There are two opportunities to display kindness in this world. The beauty in giving is that it's limitless, no act of kindness is ever too small or wasted. The first is to be kind to those who are financially or physically less fortunate. As we celebrated Mandela Month this July, giving generously to those in need, let's not forget to give to one another. Those closest to you are sometimes the ones we tend to neglect. “We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.” Winston Churchill Kindness is the most valuable gift you will ever give someone.
