Kindness An act of kindness leaves a lifetime impression on others, and no it does not need to be a grand gesture.

If a person is choosing to share something with you, whether a problem, advice, or suggestion, hear the person out patiently.Keeping Promises Honour your commitments and promises, always. Keeping a promise or fulfilling a commitment shows that the person is responsible and accountable.Saying no when required Being kind is different from always doing things for others.

Saying yes to everything will do you more harm than good.Say sorry when needed When you make a blunder or hurt someone’s feelings unintentionally, apologize and try to mend it. There’s a reason Sorry is a magical word. Don’t apologize when it’s not your fault.Confidence Be confident and take a stand for yourself. Do not be afraid to speak your mind. Take initiative, be proactive and turn your words into action.Humility No matter who you are, what position you work in, which family you belong to, or how big or small your bank balance is. Always stay humble. Bragging about wealth and success will only create a negative impression about you.
