I like watching youtube videos with a positive message and there’s one youtuber who goes and asks strangers different questions. Sometimes they are difficult ones, like “What is the most painful thing you have told someone?” or “When was a time you felt like giving up?”, and sometimes she even asks them to call their crush or to share a secret anonymously. It is a very interesting and thought-provoking channel and often inspiring too.
Today, I feel inspired to ask you what the kindest thing someone has said or done for you is.
Also, February 17 is Random Act of Kindness Day, so we still have some time to think of ways to show our kindness.

Think that so many people do the kind things for me, and this was expressed not only in important things, but also in everyday little things that can also be very supportive. Especially grateful to my parents & grandmother who always try to cheer me up in difficult moments, the doctor who cured me of severe pneumoniaas when I was a child, and some of my university professors.
It really takes a wise and kind soul to appreciate all these things. I am so happy that you find kindness around yourself!
I cant count the kind things others said to me. However, I have also received bad as well.
The most memorable is when I was almost going to give up at school as no one helped me.” I know your grades are down, but this year this is going to change. I am going to help you and at the end of this year you are going to get a prize. ”
Not just a kind word but also an act of kindness, the teacher helped me with my schoolwork when no one would give me the time of day and I never forgot it. His name was Mr Clegg.
It’s so heart-warming to know that there are such teachers out there who would make extra efforts for their students.
I always try to say kind things to everyone. I think for me it was my professor in college who helped me come out of my shell and be the person I wanted to be. She held up my essay in her hand and said you cannot hide a lamp under a bushel – high words of praise that hit right home.
That’s wonderful! Not many professors care about things outside of the lessons.
Most people do not understand the power of positive words. Those words increased my self confidence by a few notches that day and for the rest of my days.
I always like to help others. I do not remember any pleasant experience at this moment. I’ll post it later ?
That’s wonderful! I am sure you have many such experiences.
A lady returned my cell phone I had lost in the snow. She found it after the snow melted. Interestingly, it was still functional. It’s the first thing that comes to mind now.
That’s amazing! It’s easy to lose things in the snow.
It’s a great channel because you are able to see so many different people and hear their experiences.
That’s probably good;I waste too much time on YouTube.
Perhaps the thing that surprised me when I came here to Spain 14 years ago was a gesture I will never forget. I didn’t know the language, but a woman believed in me. Trust me your mother. We are still good friends to this day. Thanks to her, I learned the language very quickly.
That’s so kind indeed! Starting life in a new country is not easy and we need all the help we can get.
The kindest thing someone has done for me.
Many years ago I was in Chicago. It was raining hard and I left my wallet in the hotel. A cab driver stopped and I told him I didn’t have my wallet.
he literally took me to the hotel, dropped me off. I offered to run up and get cash but he drove off.
I have never forgotten that.
That’s really kind of the driver, especially since it’s his job. It is good to know that it’s not all about the money.
that is what I thought as well. There are many other kind acts that I could recognize, this is a great positive idea!!!!!
I like to help if it’s only in my power but it’s not always easy ….. I think the greatest help is to be able to stand by the man and support him when he needs it
I agree with you! Sometimes we try to help people who don’t need the help at the moment.
My friends always go to the food pantry on Wednesdays and also bring me foodstuffs as well. I, in turn, make them meals in the slow cooker or oven from the meat they get at the pantry. As for the animals around here, I make sure the outside cats get some food, the squirrels are fed and the country rat in my kitchen gets food. We are family as they say.
It is so nice that you and your friends support each other, and you are taking care of the animals around you!
This is a difficult question as I have countless of them.
That is good to hear!
The first thing that came to mind, and I have many, is when I lost my son. My boss and the entire corporate office I worked with (about 100 people) all gave money, gifts, cards and flowers. And I received visits from them as well, supporting me and I was paid the entire time I had to be off. They will never know how much that meant.
That’s so kind of them! We need to support each other.
