THE POWER OF
KINDNESS
Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
INTRODUCTION
 “Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear
and the blind can see.” - Mark Twain
 Being kind means being warm, considerate, gentle
and friendly. To get a friend, you must be a friend.
Even more cliché is the saying, ‘birds of a feather,
flock together.’
 If you want to attract happy, supportive people into
your life, you need to be that kind of person. Why
would anyone want to be around you otherwise?

THE ANSWER
As the wise Maya Angelou highlighted, long after the
memory of the interaction has faded, people will remember
how that interaction made them feel.
When we are unkind, we make the lives of those around us
much harder than it has to be.
We make them feel unloved, underappreciated and isolated
when we are mean or unpleasant.
3Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
Would you want anyone to treat you in a
mean or unpleasant way?
Would you enjoy such harsh treatment?
Don’t you think treating people that way
at work, at school or in your own home,
makes your life a lot harder than it has to
be as well?
Kindness fosters a spirit of cooperation,
even among people who do not really
know each other.
Surrounding yourself with people who are
willing to work alongside you is far easier
than trying to conquer this world alone.
• Being unkind envelopes a wide variety
of actions.
• Our words are the most common form
of unkindness.
• Being harsh, condescending or even
abrupt, can be interpreted as unkind.
• Using your words to put others down
and elevate yourself is not only unkind,
it is also a very selfish act, that often
causes more harm than good.
• A key aspect of kindness is being polite.
Let us take some time to learn more
about this beautiful quality.

WHY BEING POLITE?
Being polite is not as hard as some
people make it seem.
While it is true that being polite is
becoming increasingly difficult because
of the negative attitudes of the people
around us, it is not impossible.
Being polite might inflate the ego of
these individuals, but our being polite is
not a reflection on them.

WHY BEING POLITE? CONTINUES
6
Our being polite reflects positively on our character, come what may. Individuals who are polite
are often thought of as kind, principled, professional and pleasant.
And with this very interconnected world that we live in, you just never know who you might
have insulted.
Just imagine how embarrassed you will be if you show up for a job interview, only to realize
that the man you just cursed in the parking lot because you think they parked in ‘your’ spot, is
actually the interviewer.
Trust me, it has happened many times before and could happen to you.

WHY BEING POLITE? CONTINUES
7
Being polite involves being respectful and considerate of the needs, feelings, time, resources, values and
cultural norms, of others.
Being polite and kind will make you very likeable and will encourage others to reciprocate your
consideration.
Another benefit of being polite is that it will make it quite easy for you to gain the respect of those around
you.
Even if they do not instantly change their behaviour, they will be forced to respect you and your standards.
Eventually, they may change for the better as a result of your efforts.
Wouldn't life be much easier if we all had jobs in which our employees, subordinates, and colleagues, all
treated us with respect?
Respect has to be earned and being polite is one of the easiest ways to earn it.

HOW TO BE POLITE AND KIND
8
If you have nothing kind to say, do not say it, post it on social media or even think it. Even words that
are whispered to a friend have been known to turn around and bite you.
Do not be stingy with greetings and salutations. If you enter a room, pleasantly greet all present.
When you are leaving, kindly excuse yourself. And if you are greeted, respond warmly and with a
smile.
Do not criticize the efforts of others, especially when it is obvious that they tried extremely hard to
accomplish a particular task. If you must offer some constructive criticism, sandwich it with some
genuine commendation.
Be appreciative of the efforts of others. Even if what is presented is not to your liking, there is no need
to make it known.
Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
HOW TO BE POLITE AND KIND
9
Try to learn a little about the cultural norms and beliefs of those around you. You do not have to share their
views; you simply need to know enough not to unintentionally offend them. It is also most polite to allow
them to freely express these views, without fear of being disrespected. You can always agree to disagree.
You do not always have to insist on things being done your way. Give someone else a chance to shine
every now and then.
Do not monopolize conversations by speaking only about yourself and your accomplishments. Show
personal interest in others by asking them about themselves and actually listening to what they have to say.
When someone is speaking to you, give them your full attention. Stop walking, typing or whatever else you
are doing, and make eye contact. If you are busy, politely pause, evaluate how lengthy the conversations
need to be, assure them that you value what they have to say, and then arrange a more suitable time to
continue.
