the
consequences are, will always make me contented and secure.
4.) There are a lot of ways I can do such, especially in doing something
"good" for others. 5.) The steps are easy but zealousness, humility, and
consistency are the subtle ways. Here are the simple ones:
6.) The first one is I imagine that I am in the place of the other person I'll do
good to. 7.) Next, I'll imagine how she'll feel and react. 8.) That way, I'll think
doing good to others will make me at least a better person. 9.) That will make
