One day I was driving to pick up my mother to take her for a medical exam. As I was slowing down for a red light, the gear stick came off the floor of my van, in my hand. Since this had happened once before I didn't panic. I picked up my mobile phone, got out of the van and shut the door and rang my mum to say I would be getting to her house late and why.
That's when I realised I had locked the keys in the van. The spare key was in my wallet which was also in the van. A lady pulled up and gave me the number of the roadside service and then she gave me an umbrella as it was starting to rain and I was only dressed in summer clothes. By this time traffic was starting to build up behind me.
A man, whose house my van was stopped in front of, just arrived home at this point. He started directing traffic around my van as I was concerned that someone may run into it. Since I require medical oxygen 24/7 for a genetic lung condition, I always carry four or five small portable medical oxygen cylinders in my van, so you could understand my concern.
Several people stopped to help move my van over to the curb, and in various ways helped me over the next hour. One lent me a beach towel to keep me warm; another bought me a hot drink to keep me warm until the road service man came.
On that day I counted seven people, who out of the goodness of their hearts, stopped and helped without wanting any acknowledgement for their efforts to help me.
Only two of them told me their names. G-d looked after me that morning and my prayers are that G-d will abundantly bless all of those people.

Every time you act kindly, the world has more kindness.
Every time you are compassionate, the world has more compassion.
Every time you smile to someone, the world is a more cheerful place.
Every time you help transform someone’s worry into serenity, the world is a more serene place.
Every time you calm someone who is angry, the world is a more pleasant place.
Every time you give money to charity, the world is a more charitable place.
Every time you encourage someone to do something for others, you are creating a partner to make a better world.
Some people spend way too much time complaining about the awful state the world is in. There is too much aggression and violence. There is too little kindness and compassion. There is too much anger and depression and too little serenity and joy.
If someone complains and complains, the world is still full of whatever it is the person is complaining about and now more complaining has been added. Conversely, if someone spreads compassion and kindness, the world improves. The ripple effect can spread these positive qualities. A little positive action is more beneficial than a mountain full of complaints.
Every time you visit someone who is ill, you are making the world a kinder place to live in.
Every time you comfort a mourner, you are making the world a kinder place to live in.
Every time you judge someone favorably, you are making the world a kinder place to live in.
Every time you lend one of your possessions to someone, you are making the world a kinder place to live in.
Every time you help a stranger find his way, you are making the world a kinder place to live in.
What comes out from all of this is that there is no such thing as an insignificant kind act. Because every time you do an act of kindness you are elevating the world we live in.
