“It’s a little embarrassing that after 45 years of research and study, the best advice I can give people is to be a little kinder to each other.” Aldous Huxley

“Life is about balance. Be kind, but don’t let people abuse you. Trust, but don’t be deceived. Be content, but never stop improving yourself.” Zig Ziglar



🎶:Bobby McFerrin teaches audience to back his track
“I want my daughter to know that she is loved, supported, and seen for whoever she becomes. I want her to be curious, empathetic, and kind. I want every child to feel seen, heard, and supported, not marginalized…”
@MalloryMcMorrow

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness… The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live…is…victory.” Howard Zinn “To be hopeful in bad times...
Kindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.

“The point of giving is not to seek gratitude or receive recognition. It’s to live by your principles. True kindness isn’t motivated by how others will react. It’s an expression of who you are.” @AdamMGrant


“Beating yourself up doesn’t make you stronger... Being kind to yourself isn’t about ignoring your weaknesses. It’s about giving yourself permission to learn from your mistakes. We grow by embracing shortcomings, not punishing them.”
@AdamMGrant #selfcare

Kind hearts are the gardens,
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the flowers,
Kind deeds are the fruits.
Take care of your garden, and keep out the weeds.
Fill it with sunshine, kind words and kind deeds.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
#KindnessMatters
“There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” Edith Wharton

“We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones. Certainty is not a sign of credibility [nor] thinking deeply. It’s better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.” @AdamMGrant

“No matter who you are, and what you do to live, thrive, and survive, there are still some things that make us all the same. You. Me. Them. Everybody… Everybody needs somebody to love.” Blues Brothers

#love
Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
Grass is never greener over there
Time will wear away the stone
Don’t try to live your life in one day
Don’t go speed your time away

“Empathy is powerful. There is no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It’s simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of ‘You’re not alone.’” @BreneBrown
“All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and alone in life ...”

“Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate ...”

Don’t stop believing. Hold on ...


Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
Does summer come for everyone?
Can humans do what prophets say?
And if I die before I learn to speak
Can money pay for all the days I lived awake but half asleep?
#love
“People who are ‘nice’ to you aren’t always being kind…
Sharing what you need to hear is kind. People speak honestly to help you do better tomorrow. Candor is an act of care.”
@AdamMGrant #KindnessMatters


“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.” Desmond Tutu

#KindnessMatters
“I wanna thank me for always being a giver & tryna give more than I receive. I wanna thank me for tryna do more right than wrong. I wanna thank me for just being me at all times.”
@SnoopDogg #KindnessMatters


“When people are hurting … what often helps them more is validating their feelings. Sharing your perspective is less comforting than showing you understand their perspective.”
@AdamMGrant #KindnessMatters


This is my simple religion:
There is no need for temples;
no need for complicated philosophy.
Our own brain, our own heart, is our temple,
and the philosophy is kindness.
@DalaiLama #KindnessMatters

@sza
“Our words and our actions affect other people…
That is why it’s really important that we use nice, kind words.”

“The smallest gesture of kindness [is] an act of immeasurable profundity, because to each of us, our life is our universe… By your smallest acts of kindness, you will save an other’s world.”

“Everyone wants to save the...
“You want friends who protect your light. We don’t want to surround ourselves with candle blower outers.” Brené Brown

#Compassion #AtlasOfTheHeart

“Boundaries are not a moat around your heart… Boundaries are saying that I choose self-love and self-respect over what you think of me or possibility of disappointing you.”
Brené Brown



@BettyWho #Kindness
It’s not always easy to be living in this world of pain.
You’re gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again.
It’s alright, it’s alright, though you feel your heart break.
You’re only human.
@billyjoel


“At the societal level, expansions of altruism and #compassion are already happening everywhere.”
Abigail Marsh (@aa_marsh)

TED talk: t.ted.com/CHzzOZN


“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ ... If you look for the helpers, you’ll know that there’s hope.”
Mr. Fred Rogers #LookForTheHelpers

“It’s not a coincidence that our favorite children’s stories focus on kindness, honesty, responsibility, persistence, and courage. The values we learn in kindergarten are the ones that matter most in life.” @AdamMGrant

🎶: Ana-Maria Mărgean @terryfator
“Treat people better than they expect — and expect nothing in return. Showing care is as much about respect you grant as time you give. A sign of character is consistently choosing to be kinder.”
@AdamMGrant

@Acyn How many elections must Trump lose before @RepRaskin no longer has to warn voters about him?

#TrumpIsANationalSecurityRisk
@Acyn @RepRaskin “Trump’s lawyer argued that as president* he could order the assassination of rivals and face no prosecution unless he’s impeached and convicted. But of course he could just kill or threaten to kill Members of Congress who dare to impeach or convict him.”


@Acyn @RepRaskin Thank you for holding Trump accountable, @RepRaskin.

“I’ll say what I want to say and if the consequence of that is losing money — so be it.”
Elon Musk to David Faber 5/16/23


“The Twitter thing is different, right? We are seeing in these recent years that Elon Musk has behaved erratically at times, that the biographical facts that you mentioned that led to him at times talking about his loneliness, his sadness…” @RonanFarrow


“You take a guy with this much power, who is talking openly about his sadness, his isolation, his loneliness… There are people around him who are concerned. And then we as a nation — and indeed as a world — have to be concerned…”

“There are so many unanswered questions…lingering. How, for example, did Biden get 15 million more votes than his former boss Obama? Was the 2020 election a miracle? Honestly we don’t know and don’t expect an answer tonight.”
