Saying thank you to the ladies who clean your plates at lunch is an important philosophy to me. Think about it, they are the ones who have to clean and put up your plates, cups, and silverware. I imagine that some days are easier than the others, yet they still sit back there for an hour and a half each day scrubbing off plates. On days where the hot lunch serves mash potatoes with gravy, Chinese food with the sticky sauce, and more along those lines, it's more of a hassle and takes more time to clean the plates. In my earlier years at ehs, I ignored and hardly ever said thank you to them; however, ever since then, it has become a habit and something that is very important to me. I also think it is very important for others to at least say thank you when dropping off their plates. After all, they are the ones cleaning up for us while we are the ones relaxing and enjoying lunch with our friends.
Picking up trash on the sidewalk or anywhere you happen to be is an important lesson to me. The trash may seem like its not important or your not the one who put it there in the first place, but reaching down and throwing it away is the thing to do. Imagine all the trash their would be everywhere if everyone dropped one can of coke or chinese takeout box on the ground and did not pick something else up. It shows that you care enough to go out of your way to help. A simple bending down motion and a few steps towards a trash teaches one to believe that he/she is humble and not too much above trash to move it to its correct place. I have always thought of this act as something small and meaningless; yet now I realize that something so simple could mean so much. At the end of the day the person who decides to go out of there way to help people out, will be happy.
My philosophy about life is, “make it light for the garbage men.” Just the other day I decided to start following this philosophy when I saw the garbage men taking away our trash and then watching the so called “Hefty” trash bags break. I felt terrible for them, so I brought them Gatorade and now every time I hear them coming I bring them one. These poor men carry dirty, smelly trash all day long. If it weren’t for them we would have piles of trash outside of our houses. No one wants to ride on the back of a stinky truck all day long, it is not a job anyone wants to do, but if they didn’t do it, no one would. It is a low paying job that does not have any ups to it--except for maybe riding on the back of a truck—that’s pretty sweet! But really, make it light for them. Most likely they don’t want to do their jobs either so if you could just make it that much easier on them, it would brighten their day.
My philosophy is " no matter who they are, help them when they are in need". I learned this with one of my very many injuries i have had. I was on crutches and couldn't open a door. No one was stopping to help me. It made me think about how many times i have walked by someone who needs help and i simply ignored them. Even if we don't know the person we are helping out, they will be thankful for it. Going through this made me see what it felt like to be ignored when you are in need of such a small task as opening a door. And who knows, maybe the person you help will help you in the future with an even bigger thing. You never know who you are going to meet when you help someone out, so no matter if its someone you know, or someone you dont, you should always help them out if you are able. Even if it is someone you dont like... it doesnt help to be rude, you can always kill them with kindness and give them no reason to dislike you back. Helping is always something people will be thankful for.
My life philosophy is to always say "please and thank you". I know this seems like something everyone does already, but quite often I find that these words of appreciation are forgotten. I know how it feels when an act of kindness is taken for granted, like opening a door for someone who just walks right through it without saying the simple word, "thanks". Because of this I always say "please" when requesting something and "thank you" like, when finishing placing an order. I believe that for people who work in the food industry it would be nice to hear people remember their manners. Most of the time I can tell waiters or cashiers or whoever, very much enjoy it and are friendlier when I say "thank you". I also nudge my little brother every time we go out to eat when he forgets, because saying "please and thank you" shows your gratitude, and hopefully brightens someone's day.
My philosophy on life is to help my mom bring in those groceries whenever she needs my help, even without her asking. There comes a time when we won't have our mothers to help us do our laundry, to clean our rooms, or to cook our dinners. There is a good handful of people that take their moms for granted. Not many, but a small portion of the vast 7 billion people on this world. At times when we don't realize it, our moms are our saviors. When we sleep through our alarms, we can always continue to sleep safely knowing that our moms are going to open the blinds of our bedroom windows to wake us up. When we have those muddy and wet practices, we can look to our moms to do the last minute laundry duty. We'll always fuss and argue with them, but in the end, they will do whatever it takes to make us happy because we mean the world to them. We don't realize how much we really depend on our moms until we begin to move out of our homes and head out to the real world. While we do have them, we ought to try and use them to our advantage, and we need to give thanks where thanks are due. They love us a lot and the least we could do to help our moms out would be take in the groceries on those dreadful days where you know she is coming home with a good load in the family car.
Little do we realize the simplest things in life can sometimes mean the most. My philosophy each day is to make someone elses day better than it may or may not be. I once heard a story about a young boy who on that very day had planned to take his own life; however, walking home from school that day a girl, whom usually never talked to him, effortlessly said “Hey, what’s up”- started up a conversation and helped him carry his books. By doing such a simple thing she saved his life. You never know how someone’s feelings on the inside weather their acting content or not saying “hey” can change everything! It feels good to be kind to others, even though random acts should be selfless. Talking to complete strangers is my favorite while waiting in line at starbucks, in line at the grocery store, at the gas station, or even talking someone on the side of the road (“superman” the bum we all know). Try it and I promise you will find it brightens your day making each day more exciting filled with something new. It’s always great to start up a conversation with someone who might appear to you as weird for they might just have the most interesting things to say. Each day I try to talk to someone I don’t know or have never seen. There are so many fascinating people in this world everyone needs to step out of their own bubble and speak to somebody they might be troubled of. Even at school you can find someone whom you don’t talk to regularly; for me whenever the janitors are in the bathroom I always ask them how their day is. It makes me feel better as a person and happy to see the big smiles on their faces! Saying hello to someone wont hurt for you never know what you might get out of it, try it!
My philosophy in life is as simple as holding a door open for someone as they walk by. Selfless, random acts of kindness go a long way in this world. Maybe someone just failed a test and is walking right next to you in the hallway. He or she hasn't said a word so, naturally, you wouldn't know what's going on with them at that moment. Then you come to the end of the hallway, push the door open and hold it for them, flashing a smile as they walk by. Maybe they look up and see you. Then maybe, just maybe, you've made their day a little more bearable. Maybe you've given them the reassuring feeling that "hey, its all right, life goes on". It doesn't stop at holding the door open for people. Maybe its helping someone pick up their books, or find where B203 is. My point is that these random acts of kindness don't just make us as a person better, they can make all of us better. One act at a time.
My philosophy in life is, “treat others how you would want to be treated.” I live by this philosophy because I believe in karma. If you treat someone with respect, they will respect you; but, if you are mean to someone, they will be mean to you. One time I was making fun of my friend for getting bitten by a spider in a certain place, and a couple of hours later I was attacked by ants while she sat there and laughed. I’m sure if I hadn’t made fun of my friend, ants wouldn’t have bitten me. I also think its important to be nice and respectful to people that you don’t know. My point is that you will be better person if you treat others how you would want to be treated.
My own philosophy is to always smile at someone when they pass you by. You may not know it, but that smile might just even save someones life. Everyone deserves a smile, and even if they are unknown to you, even if they are not your friend; you should always take the time to say hi. There are so many times where we simply ignore those who we do not know or do not want to take the time to know, but it really is those smiles that can turn one's lonely day into a day where they know that at least one person cares. It really can save not only someone else, but your own self as well.
My philosophy in life is, "customer service" We live in a world where respect is so often taken for granted or just phony. I live by this principle in everything I do, whether it be the rental shows I work or the service I give to customer's at my store. Naturally, people are unpredictable, and prone to anger when frustrated. A simple friendly and helpful demeanor can calm the aggressiveness of a situation. During a show that was comprised of about a hundred children between the ages of three and ten, the fire alarms were pulled in the USC. Of course the parents in the audience immediately attempted to take control of the situation. Having worked many shows, I understood the effect the situation would have on distraught parents, whether or not there actually was a fire. Immediately, as parents attempted to evacuate the theatre, and torrent backstage, I quickly approached the mob and took control. Though I had no prior experience in controlling three-hundred concerned parents, I presented myself in a kind, sincere way. The effect was their undivided attention, and subsequent obedience to my directions of returning to their seats. My point is whether or not you CAN handle the situation, you can use customer service to take control of it.
Helping out with clean up of the days of sit down dinner is my philosophy. I may not help in the creating and setting up of dinner, but the least I can do is pick up the plates, empty the left over’s into the trash or containers to be placed in the frig for another night. For the dishes that need hand washing, I had washed them; for the ones that can go into the dishwasher, put them in and start the machine. This shows my mom that I can be helpful and responsible, it also give me morals of helping others if or if not I benefit from something. It also installs in me for when I go to college to pick up after myself to keep my dorm room clean and organized. Helping others makes people want to help you another time, “treat others the way you would like to be treated”. So, helping with dinner clean up gives others, especially my family, the incentive to help me with something another time.
Willingly spot a friend on cash if they need it. I think it's important to help a friend when in need. In this case, spotting a friend a few bucks for a Whataburger is a prime example. The thing is, these few dollars you're giving up aren't just about one sandwich. You are giving up something of yours for a friend who needs it. What if you were the one without money and needed someone to spot you for a burger. You would like for your friend to loan you a few bucks, and you could pay them back later. I've been on either side of this situation many times. Even though, at the time, lending a few bucks seems trivial, helping a friend when they're in need is one of many elements that make up a good friend.
