    1. Including others (like stepping back so everyone is levelled at a crosswalk)
    2. Waiting on others to tie their shoes
    3. Holding doors for others (at just the right time)
    4. Caring about the things you say (like asking someone to text they got home and asking if they forget to)
    5. Listening to others (instead of turning the conversa on yourself)
    6. Wishing happy birthday at midnight
    7. Hyping up someone’s music taste
    8. Noticing changes to someone’s appearance
    9. Asking if somebody wants anything when you go to the store
    10. Getting excited when others get excited
    11. Introducing acquaintances when you bump into each other and they don’t know them (rather than letting your company standing there)
    12. Scooting over to make room on seats
    13. Saying the nice things you think about people
    14. Listening to others speaking
    15. Letting others in line with only a few items to buy
    16. Helping your community with things others don’t do (like picking up stuff)
    17. Letting other in when there’s traffic
    18. Greeting others
    19. Asking to help others struggling
    20. Offering snacks
    21. Remembering details about what others say
    22. Smiling at dogs
    23. Asking others to join rather than just offering them
    24. Getting back to others about stuff they recommended
    25. Being patient with others
    26. Hyping other’s progress
    27. Smiling at others
    I missed two but these are basically the main points

    I've noticed how Lana's comment section is filled with self-reflective people-- we all are together in this journey to improve ourselves and become a better person, and Lana too. She doesn't portray herself as a high perfect figure, the audience doesn't idolise her, she doesn't want that either. She is just a part of this, this is real community. The comment section is not vague like others. You should be proud of creating such a positive audience, very few are able to connect this deeply with their audience. I'll say this is one of the biggest achievements one can achieve. Thank you Lana!

    Video Summary (For people who are in a rush):

    2. People who include others within their group

    10. When someone asks if you want anything from the store
    11. People who get excited when you get excited

    14. People who actually say nice things when they think about you
    15. When you're telling a story/joke and one person pays attention while everyone else ignores you

    24. When someone says "I'd like for you to join" instead of "You can join, if you want"
    25. When someone actually respond to the thing you recommended them ("Hey, I listened to that song you recommended to me")
    26. People who are patient with you
    27. People who hype you up when you struggle until you finally get it right
    28. People who thank people offering a service (Uber drivers, waiters, etc.)
    29. Give a smile. Say hi, please, and thank you
    These are some great pieces of advice, Lana. The world would be a better place if there were more considerate people.

    Small kindness is a seed of love that beautifies our current society that desperately desires care and compassion for each other. My favorite out of the 29 was a difference b/w saying "I would like you to join." and "You can join if you want." Especially, this small difference would make an important impact in our everyday conversations with others. Small kindness is how we can support one another and something anyone can do. Thanks, Lana, for demonstrating this. (Sorry to keep editing my comment here. But your influence seems to be continuing to grow in my mind.)

      I felt the same, and it was nice to see that more people care about this, and it's not like I do it to be better, I do it because I genuinely feel bad when people are not included or the group didn't laugh at someone's joke, or someone is talking and no one is listening, etc. I wish everyone would care about these things, it may seem like small details but when someone does that for you it means the world in that moment :)

    It feels wholesome to recieve that kind of attention, but it's also so rewarding feeling if you've done something for others. My highlight of the day today was when I talked with one stranger, who seemned much older than me in university hallway. I said something along the likes that today is the worst day of the week, so difficult lectures and long and then she said that it's the same for her and that she forgot her food. I had a banana in bag which I offered to her, she hesitated at first and was concered that now I have nothing to eat myself but I said it's all good. She was so happy that it made my day. I should carry more snacks in my bag!

I just helped him solve the numerical and he was so happy. made my day. on a similar note couple months back one of the class toppers didn't know an answer but was embarrassed to ask anyone else and ended up asking me. I told him. Nobody knows he asked but it made me happy that he trusted me enough to ask.

So I started being indifferent and stopped caring so much and always wanted to be something that I really didn’t know! But this video reminded me that this was when i was happy! This whole caring, loving and supporting was when i was free from all those negative thoughts and all those thoughts that were complicated! Thank you for this video! I will start being myself again!

    i love it so much when someone actually listens to me when im talking and is really interested in what i have to say, and when someone gives me a smile or tries to help me if im lost or confused, and definitely if they wish me happy birthday at midnight, i try to do these to my friends and i always try to make another person feel included, because i'm always the person who gets left out or ignored in my friendgroup. literally if u do even any of these things, i love you and i'll also remind myself to keep doing these things more often!!

    Doing something nice for someone you don’t even know, it brings joy that you did something good for that person. I always try to have a bright day for everyone around me even if I am having a grey day at that moment.

    I've been depressed and was feeling like I am so alone, but this video made me think, yeah right, actually people do care about me, say nice things, even strangers hold the door for me, saying they like my outfits and stuff. It was just wholesome. It was me not opening up to the beautiful human nature of caring. You made me so fulfilled, thank you so much!

    I wasn't familiar with your content but I highly appreciate it as of now. Acknowledging presence of others is so important imo, we've become excluded and often forget about every single person's importance in making our day or experience possible or easier. Also being aware of our same role in the society and making an effort to be kind, which in a way sums up your 29 points, is crucial. Thank you for making this video and best wishes to you, Lana!

    I've had pretty bad social anxiety for most of my life and it gets in the way of me doing things like this more often. I would absolutely LOVE to approach people with these gestures in mind but its hard when you're genuinely scared of interaction sometimes... but I'm trying more and more everyday and getting better so I'm happy about that :)

  • @lindokuhleshandu4024

    Oh this video is beautiful. It's definitely the little things that count. Half of the things you mentioned here, I see them at work everyday. Those people see me, and I see them. It's such a joy to wake up every morning to go to work with people who see you, acknowledge you, support you, and show you kindness, and even hype you up for the little progress that you make. I am going to try and apply these principles in my daily life. I really want to bring a smile to somebody's face everyday, even if it's just one person per day. The way my colleagues and manager see me at work, I want to see people everywhere I go the same way.

    Thank you so much for this video Lana! I teared up a few times while watching this.

Small kindnesses really do matter and we can all work on doing a little more.

      I warned my cousin living in commercial Babylon aka the mother harlot of abominations of America to leave NYC before the pandemic. I was correct for a time people like myself was banned from NYC because I refused to have snake venom injected in to my arm. I never wore masks, never social distanced and never followed any of the Covid rules and I am not sick nor am I dead. Why is that?

    Hello Lana!
    Out of the twenty nine things you mentioned, I feel like I still have much to learn and give, not just to my family but to the community and strangers too. The few things that make me upset are: when someone ignores others just for the sake of ignorance. Then there's the person who knows there are five people in the room but only includes three of them into the conversation -- maybe this young boy has something of value to add too, by excluding that one person you are being ill-manered. Or when someone is talking but another person is eager to talk about themselves and keeps on interrupting (can you wait for your turn? We want to hear what she has to say!) Overall, we all need that extra love and kindness to get us through the day. 🌄 ❤

  • @TurtleShinobi42
    @TurtleShinobi42 Рік тому +22

    Honestly, this all just feels like what should be normal shows of respect. The fact that being respectful and attentive towards others (especially towards friends) is seen as "cool" rather than "normal" really shows just how little many people care about others.

The way he enthusiastically shouts my name at 6am is something I look forward to every week and it makes the following 10 hour workday a breeze. I didn't realize how much of a positive impact it made on my day until he was away on vacation and I was greeted by silence. Good thing he was back the week after shouting my name!
