Two college women's softball teams were competing when one player hit the ball out of the park but couldn't make it around the bases. Apparently her leg gave out from under her and she couldn't run. It's against the rules for one of her teammates to run for her. When a member of the opposing team realized what was happening she opted to carry the young woman around the bases so that her run would count (and as it turned out it was the winning run). When asked why she did such a generous thing, she said she always learned it wasn't about winning or losing but about how you play the game.
Now it seems like a person reading this might think "Oh, well they probably weren't getting paid or anything, so anyone would've done it."
But that's not true. People may think that being nice always happens because it always should, but it doesn't. People have to stop, think. Act.
I think the moral of the story is that you should be the person doing nice things for people. Don't wait for other people to do it first.

You know I think that most people have good in them, but there are a few of them out there that just dont know how to be good (nice). Well I think that if you are having a good day and you run in to someone that is not having one, maybe....just maybe, you might try to make there day a little better. How you ask? Tell them how nice they look today, or , let them know how great it has been to have them in your life as a friend, or partner, or co-worker, or what ever place they have in your life. Its not hard to do if you are a good person and you like yourself, It not hard to like others.! Mostly it is up to you to make the most of your day, and try to have someone enjoy it with you. Good people are hard to find, but instead of looking for them, creat them. Give your time and yourself to others, and others will show time to you. Believe me, I have done this and I know it works. Just try it! Nothing is going to happen in a day, but with time and you will see it grow.
