In the hustle and bustle of your "life" you have many choices, but each have consequences. Sometimes a simple act of appreciation or kindness, or a small sacrifice on your part will make a big difference in someone's life. It isn't always what you do, but what you don't do.

Helping out people that really need help not only makes you feel good, but may truely change someone's life. Staying a few hours late to keep your customers happy, who are driving in, might not sound too appealing, but it could really lighten their stress load a great deal. I'm sure you can find something to do at the office anyway. Sometimes, just not complaining about  whatever it is you're trying to do, will enable you to get it done faster. By the time you complain about it to several people, you could already be finished with the task. Closing your customer on their one hour lunch break may really be helping them out. That's a small sacrifice on your part.

You will be surprised how many people may remember your one act of kindness in a positive way.. If you do the right things, usually something positive will come your way. It's a nice feeling to be appreciated, but it's even better when you are helping someone in the process.
