In the article “Do The Kind Thing” I learned many important lessons that are a must in life. The whole lesson this reading taught me was that having kindness can bring you a long way. Kindness is one of the most powerful things that will forever have an impact on someone, or something. Kindness leads to more powerful relationships which can lead to a more positive world. Kindness is used in my everyday life as I want to have the best relationships with anyone I am around. While reading we learned how Lubetzky incorporated kindness into the business world of things and how that has impacted how he sees things. There were examples of personal stories that he had experienced throughout the article which led to a better understanding of how little something is, it can have such a large impact. When I have had to meet new people in classes throughout my years in college, I have always shown kindness towards them. I always want to be the nicest person I can be and show others that being kind can take you a long way. I met this friend freshman year, and from the start of our friendship we both showed kindness. This built a connection between us as she is now one of my closest friends here at school. Overall I learned that just doing the little things can result in kindness which can lead you to personal growth and bring positivity out of others. Kindness can strengthen a community and bring people together, just like having a ripple effect.
