No.21 - Kindness



When Mahatma Gandhi was in South Africa, he once went to a hotel and ordered food. Since he was well-known for his struggle for justice for fellow Indians, the waiter recognized him. He was delighted and treated him with great respect.Gandhi noticed this, when he finished his meal, he paid the bill and said smilingly; "thank you, young man." The waiter looked shocked,"What did you say,sir?"
"Well,thank you," Gandhi replied. The waiter was overwhelmed. He said, "Sir, you are the first one to thank me for doing my job. Everyone takes our services for granted as they pay for them. I shall never forget your kindness." He then took Gandhi's hand and kissed it.
KIND WORDS CAN BE SHORT AND EASY TO SPEAK BUT THEIR ECHOES ARE TRULY ENDLESS............
In our busy life we usually tend to forget to use kind words, with our friends, our parents and everyone around. Therefore, please try to be little polite and warm towards everyone. The merits would be great.
