Have You Performed a Random Act of Kindness Today?
Posted by Alan Mater on Dec 16, 2008
Today’s society, including many businesses, are filled with corruption. Violence is on the rise in many parts of the world. Today’s children are brought up in homes that teach the wrong values and are told to only look out for “numero uno.”
One website that’s teaching the proper values is the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. This website was brought to my attention in one of the forums I visit daily, and I thought I would share it with you. Their focus is on spreading the word about peforming random acts of kindness during your daily activities.
The quote, “A good deed never goes unpunished,” by Gore Vidal, comes to mind. As an online business owner and aspiring leader in my industry, I strive to help and encourage others on a daily basis. I try to be a light to those that maybe feel down.
Any good deed you can do for someone will not go unnoticed. A lot of appreciation and respect can be earned, and the rewards could come back to you ten-fold.
No matter where our daily life leads us, we can all find time to perform just one act of kindness each day.
I believe these principles not only apply to real life scenarios, but also to the online world as well. Being polite and courteous and being helpful to everyone we meet online will go along way. We will earn others respect, build a friendship with those people and maybe even earn their business.
Be sure to visit the Random Acts of Kindness website to learn more about the foundation. They provide a Kind Times Newsletter, allow you to create your own website, send out e-cards and let you download free stuff.

I love the keywordluv plugin. It provides a simple way to make blog comments less stupidly spammy.

Have you noticed an increase in the number of comments since installed KeywordLuv? I’ve been considering using it on a blog I own and need some honest feedback.

@Tony@Fresno Kitchen Cabinets, Hi Tony, thanks for visiting my blog. I haven’t seen a drastic increase in the amount of comments that I get. I believe it would depend more on the popularity and readership of your blog.
