*Try to develop empathy for other people and living creatures. Allow yourself to imagine how they feel, what hurts them or makes them happy. Open your heart. *Look for ways to help; anticipate the needs and feelings of others . Join others who are kind and reciprocate kindness. Being with other selfish people, will not help you become a better person. We are very much defined by the company we keep. Listen. There is a big difference between perceiving something, and actually consciously listening to what people have to say. Act as if you see the problem by being in his or her own shoes. *Don't interrupt people. Let them finish their sentence. Remember that your points can always wait. If it's urgent (like if you have to leave) say "excuse me". *Put the needs of other people before your own . Pay attention to the people in your life to find out what those needs are. *Think about the other person's personality . When choosing gifts or cards, buy something that reflects the personality of the other person. Don't just buy something because it's convenient. *Remember birthdays. Someone's feelings are bound to be hurt if you happen to forget their special day. Fortunately, you can always make it up to them if you forget. *Keep in touch with your friends, family and relatives. *Volunteer. Be honest and loyal. *Consider the advice people in your life give you . Take it if it makes sense. If you have to ask someone for a favor, offer to do something for them in return. *Compliment other people. Don't just go on about how great you are. *Make sure to be considerate and include everyone you know and like when inviting people to parties and events . No one likes to be left out. *Don't butt in front of people in line. Also, if you see someone in a walker or a wheelchair, slow down or help them instead of just cutting in front of them. *Be on time. If at all possible, call if you know you are going to be late. *Give your time or kindness to others that need it . Random acts of kindness also make you feel satisfied. *Do not take things people say or do so personally .
