No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop
When someone does something nice for you, it makes you feel good. Likewise, when you do something nice for someone it makes them feel good. Just as no evil deed goes unpunished, no good deed is ever in vain no matter how small.
If you want to be happy but are not sure where to start, then begin by being kinder. Acts of giving will boost your well being as well as benefiting those around you and the world at large. People who are genuine givers do it because it is the right thing to do and do not expect anything in return--not even gratitude--some of your good deeds may not be appreciated. In other words, do not expect anything in return. Similarly, do not do good deeds just for the praise. However, what you will get in return is greater happiness. It has been proven that giving brings about a feeling of happiness--a feeling of self worth, self value, and purpose.
