“Kindness is the essence of greatness” – Joseph B. Wirthlin

Reflection: when a person chooses to do something with kindness and really mean it, it shows that the person has a great heart. People who are the kind tend to do things without anything in return but in the end they receive something way better. Being kind should be everyone’s priority because it will lead you to greatness. Many find it hard to be kind because they have hatred in their hearts and all that hatred leads them to failure, nowhere in life. Being kind is the best someone can be; kindness can change a person’s life. Choose the right and always be kind.

“Manners maketh man.” – William of Wykeham

Reflection: When a person has manners its shows who they really are. Having manners is important because it gives others an idea of how we act with them. Manners are to show how respectful we are to someone else. Manners are what show others that we know how to treat others right. We sometimes forget to use our manners like saying excuse me, please, and thank you. It is important to have manners to show that we are respectful people. Manners make us man, because unlike animals they don’t have manners so we need manners to show that we are humans. Choose the right.

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” –Mother Teresa

Reflection: Kind words are those that sound simple and short but the meaning to us is endless. Kind words can help someone to better their day no matter how bad their feeling. Kind words are those that lift you up when you’re at your lowest. Kind words all mean differently to a person but that feeling is never forgotten. I have personally have been at my lowest and someone says something kind to me that might have been simple to them but those words made my day. We should always try to be kind to everyone around us no matter if you know them or not because you don’t know the difference you can make in someone’s life with a kind word.
