I realised that, as I am fortunate to move amongst many people who also wish to bring happiness, I could bring the biggest smiles by letting them know they had succeeded. For example, telling a friend how easy I find it to be honest and undefended in her company, or (in an edgy work situation) letting a colleague know that I felt supported just by her presence. Knowing when we succeed is the greatest motivation to carry on. Keep smiling people! Lunar Hey Arvind,

I have an extra way of bringing happiness. I realised that, as I am fortunate to move amongst many people who also wish to bring happiness, I could bring the biggest smiles by letting them know they had succeeded. For example, telling a friend how easy I find it to be honest and undefended in her company, or (in an edgy work situation) letting a colleague know that I felt supported just by her presence.

Knowing when we succeed is the greatest motivation to carry on.

Keep smiling people!

I would like to offer this thought to all my friends out there in business; I try to conduct myself at all times in a courteous, polite and respectful fashion, and sometimes feel like this is not a common attitude! I encounter so many cases of people who do not return phone calls, voicemails, email messages; my view is, even if the message is from somebody who wants to do business with you, it costs very little to return messages and a polite 'no thankyou' is not so difficult, rather than waste other people's time by ignoring them. I have also taken to sending friendly, personal-level messages to business contacts, with nothing requested in return (e.g. get well soon messages). Picturing the smile on their face when they read such an email, in a sea of 'spam' is reward enough! One other suggestion; buy an inspiring book and give it to a business contact... I did this, and the person I gave it too was overwhelmed. The cost was almost nothing, but it really made her day! Let's have more kindness in the world. Good on you, Arvind! Paul I love Arvind’s idea of a world where there is more kindness, expecting nothing in return.
