“Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are.” – Harold S. Kushner
Each and every single one of us can create a #ripple to make the world a better place.
Check out ‘People’s Stories’ for inspirations! Rebecca Constantino works providing #books to low-income communities. Samir Lakhani works to save, sanitize, and supply recycled hotel #soap for the developing world. Ryan Hickman: A 7 years old boy who recycled over 200,000 bottles and cans.
Giving to others makes us happy, even happier than spending on ourselves. What’s more, our kindness might create a virtuous cycle that promotes lasting happiness and altruism. Even the simplest act of kindness can change the world. Maybe not the whole world but somebody’s world.
Can you create a Ripple today?
