Write about a time you made someone feel very nice. Hopefully it can be a collection of ideas that others can take forward. If somehow a few people do something nice as a result, that would be powerful.
To start with an example: Bought a laptop for my grandfather because he wanted to continue working post 60. Helped him learn Excel, Gmail, Chrome browsing over many days. He really picked it up, and works as a consultant for new companies in the industry he worked all his life.
You know its the small things that you do everyday that matter - giving your staff an off when they ask and not cutting their pay, feeding stray animals, quietly paying the bill when you know the other person is struggling financially, not haggling with street vendors for 100rs (when you’re paying 800rs to eat popcorn in PVR), changing the topic of conversation when you realise someone is feeling uncomfortable yet cannot say in front of others… we all need high empathy skills 🙏🏻
As Bapuji in TMKOC said, "Do a good work in such a way that if you do it with your left hand, even your right hand shouldn't know."

He meant - if you are helping others then don't brag about it to your friends and relatives, just help silently.

We would have so many answers had you asked what someone did nicest thing to us, this one is difficult to recall (or not sure if we made as much impact in others life)
Just curious, what makes you think that the first part of your comment will have so many answers? I literally have none. :(
There are so many people who have done nice things for us, different sectors of life, no measuring the magnitude. You will have these stories, maybe your life currently is swamped with too many things
During a competition, I met someone who had a genuine passion for further studies. After meeting him a few times and sensing his sincerity, I decided to step in and cover his first year's fees, knowing it would make a difference for him.
Which he returned with his first pay-check! :) Now his pay-checks are more than me!
Good folks of Grapevine,
I’m actively thinking of things we could do to make the community more helpful.
Being helpful for working professionals (in work & life) is our reason to exist. Want to make sure we stay true to it over the c...
I think mine was helping metro travelers out with directions, many newbies and even locals find it confusing and need help with stations and where to change metros.
