We all know that a small kindness can make our life journeys brighter and more enjoyable. Kindness doesn’t cost money or take up time but it can make a big difference to how you feel. A random (随意的) act of kindness is doing something for someone else without expecting to be rewarded (奖励) for it. It’s an unplanned active action, and you can do it for others.
In our daily life, there are many ways of being kind. You can show kindness anywhere—at home, at school or in your community. For example, if you notice a person drop his gloves on the ground, you can pick them up and give them back to him. You can look for chances too, such as holding a door open, praising someone or tidying up your classroom.
And then you may surely wonder how kindness is good for people. Actually, everyone benefits (得益) from kindness. It includes the person who receives it, the person who carries out the kind act, and even anyone watching it happen. Kindness can spread among people. When seeing an act of kindness, you’re more likely to do something kind for another person by yourself. Studies show that being kind to others can make you feel more optimistic. You will see the future is hopeful and your life is quite happy. It is also a great way to feel closer to each other and you can get a lot of energy from it.
Just try to think more about the people around you. Remember that true kindness isn’t expecting to be thanked or to get anything in return.
