GOOD WILL

 




Do what you do because you believe it’s the right thing to do. Do the right thing even when nobody is looking. Be one of the people who make a true difference in the world by leaving it a little better and more wholesome than you found it.

 

1.             Give small just-for-you presents. Whether it’s a candy bar you know the other likes or a paperback book you found at a sale, it really is all about the adage that it’s the thought that counts.

 

2.           Make it a point to slightly touch him or her often. Nothing intimate, just an enthusiastic hug of pleasure when you greet or part, a touch boost people’s mood and sense of connection; one paper found that even the most fleeting touch of the fingers when a librarian returned a reader’s card made the customer remember the library visit as a pleasant experience.

 

3.             Share a warm memory of the other person with him or her. I was thinking the other day about the time I saw you. Knowing that you are noticed, remembered, or thought of, is wonderfully flattering to anyone.

 

4.             Whatever your talent, employ it to create something that make someone feel special appreciated. If you can cook, invite the friend for a home cooked dinner or tea with your own baked treat. Such gestures are long remembered.

 

5.             Plan an event.
