A good person


A good person:
Being a good person does not depend on your religion, or status in life, your race, or skin color, political views, or culture, or the place you were born.
It depends on how good you treat others.
How to Be a Good Person:
One of the simplest ways to do so is to love others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. Try to think of others before yourself. Even doing small things daily will greatly enrich and improve your life, and the lives of others around you.
To be a good person is not easy because you have to believe in people and people you cannot see.
- Try to look at the bright side of things. It is better to light a single candle than it is to curse the darkness." Be that light.
- Accept everyone around you as your brothers and sisters no matter what race, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or culture they are.
- Don't try to correct people when they're angry by saying something irrational, just look with compassion and remain quiet.
- Stop comparing others with yourself. Try to understand that some have it better than you in life, but at the same time, many have it much worse.
- Every day, try to do an act of charity for someone else, even if it's something small.
- Be respectful of elderly people. Realize that you will be old some day and may need a helping hand.
- Be compassionate towards mentally challenged people for they are people with feelings too, and they are brothers and sisters as well.
- Compliment friends whom you might be jealous of, and people you don't know as well as you would like to.
- Be a better listener than talker. Follow what the person is saying.
- Don't try to get attention by hiding or being rude when you are in an argument with a friend, talk to them and work it out.
- Celebrate others' victories and good qualities, even when you do not feel as blessed as they do.
- Share your life and good philosophies with others. Give the young good moral values to live by, and the importance of them.
- Don't be in a hurry in life, slow down and enjoy the fine and simple things of life.
- Only use the horn in your car in an emergency, not to blow at a little old lady or man that can barely see over the wheel.
- Don't take the closest parking space at the store. Choose one further away and figure it to be the exercise that you may need. Leave the ones close for those that need them.
- Always insist on serving yourself the smaller portion of the food when dining with others.
- Even doing simple things, such as smiling at someone who seems unhappy or holding the door open for a stranger, will help you become a better person.
- Don't try to be like somebody else; just be yourself and do good things as simply as you can.
- Remember that people will be nice to you if you are nice to them.
- To start your mission to become a good person, please read this list every day and make it a part of you.
