Absolutely true, being kind is more important than being clever. I would add being "genuinely" kind and not calculating to that message. Thank you for sharing the article, we all could benefit from being a bit more kind to each other simply because it is the right thing to do, not because it's good for business, but because it makes someone feel better. As a Storyteller who sold her home and possessions to found/facilitate volunteer literacy project to preserve and promote indigenous cultures in Belize (and next year Kenya, Ghana and India), I see kindness all the time. When you set a project in motion from the heart, it is amazing how people respond. Another passion is offering and organizing FREE HUGs around the world, incredibly powerful experiences, connecting one to another. We are so desperate to connect. And it is often so simple to DO; make that bowl of soup, give that tiny little cookie to the crying child in the cart at the supermarket, a hot cup of tea to the postal carrier, hug someone. So easy and such a big impact. HUG from my little heart to yours. Kristin

It is connecting to their potential and all what they can be :) or are... Connecting to the emotions to see what they are trying to tell you is also part of it. It is actually really easy, practical and pragmatic. The bad thing is that not many people know how to do this :)
