but their echoes are truly endless." ~ Mother Theresa Sometimes, we find it difficult to say something kind or nice, it's much easier to complain and say something negative. But, isn't it true that kinds words are the ones that we are remembered by. Those people that have spoken kindly to us, we remember them very clearly. I can still recall one of my Professor when he told me, that he believed in me, that he knows I will do well in life. For me that is very inspiring and powerful. I will never forget his kind words. How about you, what kind words that was said to you that you will never forget?

Hi dear, Kind words are so powerful. It has love and affection, better feeling and recognition, feeling of oneness and togetherness, soft and touching, above all, it feel like God comes directly and telling. However, it is there around - many cannot get it easily, if we are good, they will come search for us. Best regards, Thank-s

Yes, peoples always complain much, and appreciate little. So encouragement is quite precious. There were many instances in which one kind saying changed one life. Glad to hear you encountered such a nice professor!

What you say is absolutely true.It is is easy to find fault,but difficult to speak encouraging words that motivate the other person.It is as you say much better to be positive in your thoughts than think negatively.Positive thoughts will lead to positive deeds being performed and spread a spirit of positiveness.

Hi! Thank you for commenting. It also reminds me of the saying 'If you don't have anything nice to say, just shut up.' Lol. It's also true, right? Some people just can't stop them selves from saying negative things.

I believe that to a certain degree all of the kind words that we hear in our lives stick with us. Some of those that really stand out in my mind are the fact that I am a great friend. I'm a wonderful daughter and confidant. I also remember every time that my children tell me that they love me. There is nothing in the world that is more impressionable to me than kind words. I also grew up knowing that if I couldn't say something nice then I should say nothing at all.

only my family says nice words that can inspire, but what i have learned in my life with the saying " Do not do unto others what others do not do unto you".

the word, "promise" . I really don't respect people who says promise but they don't keep it. I guess, this is one of the word that you can easily say but it's hard to do.

Hi! That is true. A lot of people say that word but can't really fulfill them. I actually don't believe in it anymore, lol. When somebody says that to me I always say 'Don't make a promise you cannot do.' and I'm always right, lol.

Hi friend, true, kind words are short and sweet too. I too will not forget if some one says good words. And i am big fan of Mother Theresa, she has very kind heart and helped many people. Her quotes are very inspiring ones. Have a nice day.

"The believe that you can would make a difference in you I believe." These were the words translated from my mother tongue penned by the teacher of the same subject when I was in secondary school. A few years later, to my surprise, we met again both as undergrads of the same college while he was pursuing a masters. A chance to tell him him how much those words meant to me brought both of us to tears. The pen can be so powerful. And Kind words, easy, short, simple but magical.

Cheers... When I was disappointed on some people, when I was down, when I was sad, that word snapped me into the reality, that I could not have it all my way.

Yes, there is a trend that more and more lose their patience when facing everything. With the pace of life gradually accelerated, most people have to face more pressure, then, so, they tend to lose their temper easily, not to mention the kind words. Of course, sometimes, during work, especially when you are facing your employees, people think that it may be more helpful if you keep strict with others. It is really an easy job to say something kind, but it seems that more and more people are losing such a good habit. What a pity!
