It is always a nice feeling to give.
I boarded the train at Marina Bay station to Bayfront MRT and saw two tourists with a toddler outside the train looking quite lost. There were no station staff to ask and they were busy using their smartphone to search for direction. I thought that it doesn't take much of an effort for me to step out of the train to offer help and so I approached them and asked if they need any help. It turned out that they were Taiwanese tourists and struggling with all the station names labelled in English. They wanted to go MBS and GBTB but didn't know which station to alight, so I brought them to Bayfront station and advised them on the directions. They were very thankful.
I was watching a show with my loved one and seated beside us were 3 Caucasian auntie and uncles. After the show's interval, we saw the group coming back but there were looking lost at the wrong seating, probably confused at where were their original seating. I did the simplest of gesture to wave at them and they got the signal and were all smiles when they returned to their seats.
Simple gesture can mean a lot to the recipients, especially when they least expect it. When you take the initiative to help someone when they did not even ask for it, you will warm hearts and make their day brighter. Changing the world seems such a big thing, yet it is all so achievable through the little things we do for one another. Kindness opportunities are everywhere, just open your heart to kindness and the opportunies will all come to you.
Make our world a better place, for you and me, and for our children and future generations. It is always possible, achievable when you believe and willing to make that change. Cheer :)
