Abstract

Mother Teresa once said, “We cannot do great things on this earth, only small things with great love.”

Small acts of kindness resonate in all our lives. For example:

  • Letting someone cut in front of you in a traffic jam.
  • Stopping to talk with an elderly neighbor, even though you are in a rush.
  • Lending a helping hand to a co-worker who’s behind on their project, even though this means that you will have to stay late at work.
  • Giving a gift certificate for a dinner out to a couple who you know are facing hard times.
