Have you ever received an act of unexpected kindness and kept thinking about it the whole day?

Such as, a person who lets you move up the line in front of them, or who gives you back something of yours that fell out of your bag, or even a simple smile at the right time.

Being polite and kind is the noblest thing that a person can give to another person. In fact, it is only in this way, giving without demanding anything in return, that a genuine mutual respect is established.
