Pay more, and you get unexpected results.
● Give what you can
You clean out your closets, right? Perfect. You don’t need a half a million dollar check written out to your charity of choice to help someone. Maybe you have a few shirts you don’t wear anymore or a few children’s books you can bear to part with. The thing about giving a little is that when everyone gives a little, suddenly it turns into a lot. 1.
●2.
In a world where smart phones rule and it’s not just possible, but normal, to have entire conversations without ever looking someone in the eye, it can be exciting and wonderful to lock eyes with someone grinning. Happiness is contagious, and it only takes a couple facial muscles to spread it.
● Use please and thank you
Not to sound like your grandmother (go ahead and sit still!), but the smallest ways to show your thanks are these little words. They take zero effort to say, but the impact is huge. Aren’t you thankful someone held the door for you when your hands were full? 3.!
● 4.
This is the best kind of multitasking! Whenever you get a little, give a little. There’s a couple ways to finish: You can do it yourself (donating an older shirt when you pay for a new shirt, etc), or support companies that are passionate, good-hearted (really fun) do-gooders. Doesn’t it get much better than that, does it?
● Get in touch. Then listen
Maybe a grandparent is eating at the bit to hear about your adventures, or maybe an old friend had a really bad day, maybe your mom wishes you，d ring her up more often. 5.. You’re member that your iPhone can make calls, right? Get in touch with those people that are dying to hear from you (because someone indeed is). Then, ask: How are you doing? What’s new? These questions have such few syllables, but their depth is endless.
A. Tell them
B. Get on the line
C. Give when you get
D. Be a part of that lot
E. Support someone else
F. Smile with eye contact
G. Start building your wings
