Kind Words In Mother Teresa

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” Mother Teresa of Calcutta This quotation demonstrates the positive effects of speaking kindly. I agree with Mother Teresa that kind words are easily spoken and long-lasting. On March 14, 1933 I was wondering my path down the halls, when I dropped my books for my studies. All of the undergrads mocked me; the laughing went on for days. I was completely embarrassed; until, a girl from my biology class named Stacy made me feel profusely better with her kind words. She presented me that everyone messes up, and that is okay because nobody is perfect. Stacy’s compassionate words made my day. There had been an abundant of times afterwards when someone spoke kindly to

me, or someone offered me words of encouragement.

Primarily, one example of a time when someone’s generous actions enlightened me was when this young lad named Carl carried my books to class when my arm was broken. I shattered my elbow when I fell from releasing my books onto the floor in the hallway. My elbow was swathed up for four weeks. Carl would always find me in the mornings, and follow me around all day; subsequently, he could help me out while I was injured. Carl would take my books of my locker and hold them as we wondered to class. He would sit my books on my desk, in addition to making sure I was in my chair before he left. This shows that, his kind actions helped me out a ton while I was injured; thus, causing me to want to attend to the needs of people who are in the position I was in back then.

Secondly, another example of a time when someone’s substantial words enlightened me was when my classmate—Isabel— stood up for me when I was being bullied. During third period a group of delinquents were surrounding my desk, and calling out every flaw in my appearance. Isabel had heard enough, for she came up to my desk, and took up for me. She made all the additional boys feel dreadful. She really had my back, and made sure I did not feel alone. Isabel was there when I needed something, and she made sure nobody ever harassed me ever again. This shows that, Isabel’s thoughtful actions made me feel as if I needed to help if I witnessed someone’s misfortune.

Finally, my last example of a time when someone’s kind actions enlightened me was when I was at lunch.

This girl was in line and she was very poor. Her parents could never afford to expensive cost of lunch. She barely ate lunch. One day, she thought she had enough money to buy herself lunch. When she came upon the cash register the lunch attendant told her she was short a dollar; however, instead of preventing her from claiming lunch the attendant reached into her pocket and gave her the extra dollar she needed and the little girl was able to enjoy lunch that day. This shows that, there is kindness in everyone. After observing the lunch attendant contributes money to that small girl it has shown me that I too can do well for those who are in need.

In conclusion, “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” Mother Teresa of Calcutta This quotation demonstrates the positive effects of speaking kindly. I agree with Mother Teresa that kind words are easily spoken and long-lasting. There had been an abundant of times afterwards when someone spoke kindly to me, or someone offered me words of encouragement. The actions and words people say and do can affect people in countless

ways.
