- If we want the world to be a better place, it’s up to us to set the example. We need to live our lives in such a manner that when others think of kindness, caring, fairness and integrity, they think of us. This begins with things that are simple and easy to do like: returning your shopping cart. Picking up a piece of trash that someone else left. Holding the door for someone behind you. Letting someone into your lane. Smiling at everyone including strangers.
