BEING KIND

I could tell you as readers about many acts of kindness that have been offered to me by people over time I’ve appreciated each and everyone intern, and I have always tried to be kind, sincere and kind to other people.

Over many years I have helped many people and have in turn been helped by many.

It’s hard to get them to single out anyone singly and particularly in recent times. However, allow me to tell you that the School At which I was Principal for 20 years recently had its 40th-anniversary celebration. I was not able to attend on August 2, so instead tended my apologies and spent $150 on a lovely Boquet with an appropriate card thanking everyone for their great contribution to the school over a long time and wishing everyone in the present looking towards the future all the very very best.

I don’t think this was a kindness so much as a recognition and appreciation, for apart from the first two years of my principalship at that school, the remaining 18 years were the best.

We should always be kind to and recognise the goodness in others. And we should do for people what we would like them to do for us.
