Kindness is an attitude. sensibly. Advice from someone good at kindness is helpful. It’s not a chore. I think I completely missed this this point BE KIND TO YOURSELF. We have a tendency to fill up the time, even if we don’t have something meaningful to do. You are correct, kindness isn’t scheduled. . “Success is never due to one thing, but failure can … Kindness, like most things, is easy until you get serious about it. I find that it comes naturally to me. George Saunders is an American writer and winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction for his novel Note: Thanks to reader Harvey Freedenberg, who originally told me about this speech.Down through the ages, a traditional form has evolved for this type of speech, which is: Some old fart, his best years behind him, who, over the course of his life, has made a series of dreadful mistakes (that would be me), gives heartfelt advice to a group of shining, energetic young people, with all of their best years ahead of them (that would be you).Now, one useful thing you can do with an old person, in addition to borrowing money from them, or asking them to do one of their old-time “dances,” so you can watch, while laughing, is ask: “Looking back, what do you regret?” And they’ll tell you. Now that’s motivation!I do not find being kind a chore. After awhile she’d drift away, hair-strand still in her mouth. The most important ones are the inner satisfaction, blessings and betterment of people. Good idea but if we don’t take of ourselves we wont be around long enough to get our job done. So glad to see you here tonight. Kindness is also apologizing when you are wrong. Kindness is not hard if it’s one of your values. And sometimes that just hurts.Ding Ding! When nervous, which was pretty much always, she had a habit of taking a strand of hair into her mouth and chewing on it.So she came to our school and our neighborhood, and was mostly ignored, occasionally teased (“Your hair taste good?” — that sort of thing). I am a peacemaker at heart. From a business angle, it’s more of winning the confidence and getting commitment to achieve the set business goals.Thanks Dr. Asher. I sense honesty in your words. One of their fondest dreams has come true: you have accomplished something difficult and tangible that has enlarged you as a person and will make your life better, from here on in, forever.When young, we’re anxious — understandably — to find out if we’ve got what it takes. No tragedy, no big final hazing.So here’s something I know to be true, although it’s a little corny, and I don’t quite know what to do with it:Those moments when another human being was there, in front of me, suffering, and I responded . Frankly, I enjoy being kind.WOW! I’ll be interested in your experience, as time passes. Being poor from time to time? One of my kind friends suggests, keep your head up and look for opportunities to be kind.Focus on small acts of kindness. I think this is true. Lack of time, inconvenience and an absence of focus are terrible excuses. There’s a confusion in each of us, a sickness, really: Do all the other things, the ambitious things — travel, get rich, get famous, innovate, lead, fall in love, make and lose fortunes, swim naked in wild jungle rivers (after first having it tested for monkey poop) – but as you do, to the extent that you can, And someday, in 80 years, when you’re 100, and I’m 134, and we’re both so kind and loving we’re nearly unbearable, drop me a line, let me know how your life has been. Dan I don’t see this week’s subject as a fail at all. If we’re going to become kinder, that process has to include taking ourselves seriously — as doers, as accomplishers, as dreamers. Why aren’t we kinder?Each of us is born with a series of built-in confusions that are probably somehow Darwinian. If you hold kindness up as an ideal, you’re apt to notice your one unkindness versus a thousand kindnesses – part and parcel of having ideals.I love this–the reminder of the intentionality of kindness. I knew it was coming soon.
Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. The great Syracuse poet, Hayden Carruth, said, in a poem written near the end of his life, that he was “mostly Love, now.”And so, a prediction, and my heartfelt wish for you: as you get older, your self will diminish and you will grow in love. Kindness is a choice. There seems to be need to do some balancing, but in the event of those calculations, sometimes chance passes on and that state of being unkind then sets in.Kindness is hard, because it’s often not reciprocated. We see people near and dear to us dropping away, and are gradually convinced that maybe we too will drop away (someday, a long time from now). Reservedly. We get our butts kicked by real life, and people come to our defense, and help us, and we learn that we’re not separate, and don’t want to be. When I reflect on those times that I acted in kindness, I’m thankful.Thanks Dan for focusing on kindness this week – there is not enough in business.
Mom is a genius. Thank you. I read something somewhere, wish I remembered where, about the importance of creating ‘margin’ in your life. YOU will gradually be replaced by LOVE. Thanks for the great reminder. Speed it along. . I will let you know. I could see this hurt her. No. Kindness (like love) is an act of the will.I do think that if you work on being kind it soon becomes muscle memory and you no longer have to “put it on your calendar.” It becomes part of you DNA.I like the idea of a journal to reflect.
