These are the things that our parent won't ask us to do, or probably won't expect from us because it might not seems beneficial to our entire life. Trying to save the world is not practical, earning big to become successful and rich is the only meaningful thing. That's what they think.
But working hard like what our parent expected definitely lead us to successful and rich? Apparently not, I believe you know it really well without further explanation.
Successful and rich or not, you always have the opportunity to make everything better. You just need to contribute some of your time and effort. These are the things that need your sincere help and it contribute a great, good impact to many people and potentially, the whole world.
1. Plant more trees
The issue of global warming has never been reduced and it's only becoming more and more serious. While most of the well developed countries focus on more high end development project, more trees and natural resources are eliminated and consumed to make development projects much more successful.
But this does not mean all trees will eventually get eliminated. There are many organizations and people trying their best to preserve forest and go green. Don't let those effort get wasted and underestimate the power of one tiny green place. Trees are a persistent thing that change the environment especially inside the city. The effort of one person planting for one tree contribute to the growth of many trees that make our environment "green".
2. Talk & listen to elders
Sometimes (or usually) you can only hear long winded nag and stories of their friends, children, and relative that has nothing to do with your life. But listen closely, those are the things that they, after living for so many years or probably it's what they treasure throughout their entire life, really appreciate and experience.
When we became old, we wish that we could pass our knowledge and experience to the youngsters and hope our wisdom can help them to make their life and the world a better place. So listening to the elders while they still can also help them to do their role as the elders and feel much better passing their wisdom to this world. That's a natural way to help people to feel appreciated and capable.
It meant really much to elders who physically not capable on too much of things anymore.
3. Be a volunteer on anything
It's one of the stuff that people wouldn't encourage you to do, but this is one thing that so far make many countries a better place. By contributing without asking too much in return, you also learn that in life, we don't need two side of the weight scaling to be the same in order to be fair. We don't need to always get paid by physical reward, the important part is that we will be rewarded when this world got better because of you.
4. Listen to people problem
You don't need to involve in solving their problem, in fact you probably don't need to give advice or solution at all.
Problems exist in most people heart. What they always need to not solution, it's more important to let their heart & mind felt relief that their problems are being paid attention to, instead of keeping it in heart and eventually thought that no one care about them.
This is somewhat magical. I'm not sure why but sometimes when people release their problems, they just got better even if the problems still exist and nothing is being solved. Let's allow this magical thing to go on without the needs of questioning how and what.
5. Become a natural resources savior
The wastage of any kind of natural resources is getting higher & higher and still keep going on as I speak. Yet, it's better we try to save it rather than just let whatever that is wasted go wasted.
We can start by saving any natural resources that we could think of. This included switch off the light in your room with just a single & effortless press on the switch even if you are just out for two minutes.
Recycle is another great practice and perhaps the only ultimate method to reuse & save natural resources to be wasted without any trace. As many stores and place practice reducing plastic bag usage and implement more recycle bin at public place, try to participate into such practice as much as you could. You might not save an entire nation, but one help from you and others will add up to large amount of savior on natural resources.
Think of this for the sake of the future after another hundred, thousand, or million or years. We won't be here anymore, but we knew that we had help those in the future to preserve these precious things that belong to the earth.
6. Be hilarious
Laughter is the ultimate element that doesn't help in anything, but it solve everything. If people willing to take in laughter as the ultimate answer to everything, theoretically war & conflicts will not happen, and would not happen in the future.
Being hilarious sometimes make yourself feel stupid, or like a clown that people laugh because they think of you as a fool. That's when you need to differentiate the significance of
7. Spread the spirit of "Thank you" and "Sorry"
"Thank you" and "Sorry" is some of the really powerful words that change the world. Conventionally, it just simple words to express gratitude and neglect, but in modern world it means much more than that.
Most people wait for the right moment to use these two words, some of the people unfortunately missed out these two words when they need it. Actually you don't need to wait for a particular moment to use these two. Just don't ask for too much reason and use the magical words, it's free and make most of the situation from worst to better, and better to better.
And spread your mindset to others and let others use the magical words frequently. It's magical and it make things better without any reason.
8. Create and give away free gift
We need to beware of it when strangers give us something (excluding those free products for promotion purpose). Keeping that in mind, we are not giving food or anything suspicious that might not be safe and encourage people to think that it's alright to accept stranger's gift.
But making small gift like a cute ribbon that serve as a sign to wish people a happy day helps and it make no harm I suppose. A small gift that cheer up people will be good and cheap. It's your effort of making it and give it to people that create the meaning.
9. Make the children happy
Children is the sign of pure and true gift in this world, although they sometimes appear to be naughty and evil. Nevertheless, it's easy to make children happy, but it's not easy to crave the happiness into their heart to create a happy childhood for them.
Happy childhood is not only to make them remember about the fun little things they did when they are a child. As they grow up and become adult, they will become the power and people to bring changes and impact to this world. Our role is to give them the right attitude and knowledge to become people with the right mind and will to bring out their good will for the world.
10. Share your good wisdom to any people, group or organization you know
While some people may feel like you are trying to boost your great knowledge in front of people, it's important to think that you are doing it for the purpose of sharing knowledge so people can learn and understand things that they might not get to experience and learn in their life time.
But of course, you need to know what type of knowledge and experience you are going to share and the people & group that suitable to be shared.
You can't make people rich by giving your money to them. In fact, you won't make people rich in that way. The true "rich" is not about money, it's about being "full" on something that really matter in our heart. True happiness and positive living is some of the great things that doesn't need your money to achieve, you only need sincere feeling and heart to be true and good to people. That's a simple, less complicated and direct way to spend your precious time for people to be truly "rich" in their heart and for a better world.
