How Kind are you? 1 to 10

I was asked this question by a silly girl, how do I rate myself from 1 to 10.

The paradox is firstly ,others may call you kind for the things you’ve done for them, but dun you think it is hypocritical to say you yourself am kind? Secondly really how does one objectively quantify something as subjective as kindness. Fortunately it is not an impossible task and the key lies in statistics, numbers are one’s best friends. Take a statistically significant random sample of population as ask them to complete the singapore kindness survey.

Plot all the scores in a chart, divide the distribution by 10 equal percentiles

Attempt the quiz yourself , and volia you will know which rating or percentile of kindness based on your result. Curious of my score? Well I belong to the category “I’m trying hard to be good person, and a friend to myself”  group Haha I can readily think of 10 reasons why I’m not unkind. does that mean I’m kind?

1. I can make people laugh
2. I can make people happy
3. I can make people smile
4. I can cheer people up
5. I can brighten people’s day
6. I can be a good friend
7. I can be approachable
8. I can be crappy
9. I can make a good joke
10. I can make your day

Yes read between the lines! This only happens in uniquely singapore where we need a week of kindness movement and a month of courtesy campaign

Dont Quit

Don’t Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must; but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow;
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup.
And learnt too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit;
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.
