Karate Kindness - Kindness Quotes




We have now Log over 5000 Acts of Kindness

Ella Wheeler Wilcox:
The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox:
So many gods, so many creeds, So many paths that wind and wind, While just the art of being kind Is all the sad world needs.

Eric Hoffer:
Kindness
can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.

Frederick W. Faber:
Kindness
has converted more sinners than zeal, eloquence or learning.

Goethe:
Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.

Dalai Lama:
When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.

Dalai Lama:
Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

The Kindness Hall of Fame - Coming Soon


Heather Gold turned in over 50 acts of Kindness last week and was the winner of a Kung Fu Panda
KINDNESS QUOTES

Abraham Joshua Heschel:
When I was young, I used to admire intelligent people; as I grow older, I admire kind people.
-->Albert Schweitzer:
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
-->Amelia Earhart :
No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.
Barbara De Angelis:
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.
-->Benjamin Jowett:
We cannot seek or attain health, wealth, learning, justice or kindness in general. Action is always specific, concrete, individualized, unique.
-->Blaise Pascal:
Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.
-->Charles Kuralt:
The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines.
D. H. Lawrence:
The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul, angry or gentle. Anger is just, and pity is just, but judgement is never just.

Karate - Acts of Kindness Continue


We Just Hit 3301 Acts of Karate Kindness




RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS


~~~~~ April-May-June-2008

In the past three months Garrett Marquis has done 200++ acts of kindness.

Garrett has displayed kindness towards others by helping his dad do yard work, keeping his room clean and helping his mother do housework with out being asked.

Garrett also has been very tolerant with other children using his toys, books and games while visiting our home without them asking Garrett if it was OK first. Garrett was quick to forgive them and forget.

These Children visiting our home were also mean -- Even Striking Garrett some times but still he managed to forgive them and not strike back.

At the market Garrett asked the bag boy if he needed a break... Garrett then took it upon himself to bag our groceries.

We have gone out several times in the past 3 months and Garrett has always held the door open for others while entering or exiting a store or restaurant. It comes natural to Garrett to always say please, thank you and you are welcome. His Manners have always been awesome. Garrett is just a very loving caring child.

We are very proud of Garrett for sharing his personal possessions with others and for being such a well mannered child with people he meets during his day.

Thanks Goshin Karate & Judo Academy, Ms. Bev, and Mr. Boggs for everything you do.

Phillip and Nancy Marquis

Karate - Acts of Kindess

Haley wins an Kung Fu Panda for
turning in the most acts of Kindness







We are now at....... 2783 Acts of Kindness

Won't you Join Us?


Goshin Karate & Judo Academy has started a National Random Acts of Kindness Program

What happens when each child taking martial arts lessons at two thousand schools across America, with one hundred students each, performs thirty random act of kindness in a single month? Six million random acts of kindness!

That’s the goal of a new character development program spearheaded by the National Association of Professional Martial Artists and the National Leadership Projects. Local instructor, Roger Boggs, owner and operator of Goshin Karate & Judo Acdemy, has joined the program and believes it will have a profound effect not only nationally, but right here in our own town.

“Think globally, act locally. That’s the message I’m driving home with my young students,” says Boggs. “ We can make a difference if each one of us does more. This is a brilliant way for my students to turn the ideas of respect and kindness into something they can do. It also fits perfectly into President George Bush’s call for one million acts of kindness.”

A random act of kindness is defined as a kind, respectful or considerate act performed from one person to another without any expectation of return, reward or recognition.

A random act of kindness could be sending a note telling someone how much they are appreciated or putting a basket full of canned food on the doorstep of someone in need.

“If just seventy-five of my students do thirty acts of kindness over the course of the next month, that’s 3750 acts of kindness,” beams Boggs.

We’re going to encourage our kids to begin at home, under the watchful eye of their parents.” Mr. Roger Boggs says his young students are jumping into the idea with both feet. “One of my kids brought his parents breakfast in bed and another one cleaned his sister’s room without being asked. Our school’s parents are ecstatic, to say the least.”

Children participating in the program log their random acts of kindness in a journal and after accumulating 50 acts, they turn the journal into their instructor for review. Children who accumulate one thousand random acts of kindness are entered into the “Kind Acts Hall of Fame.”
Every kind act counts, so whether you say “hello” and smile at someone you might have typically ignored, help someone out with something they’re trying to accomplish, open a door for someone, or donate your time to a good cause, RECORD IT.

From the simple gesture to the profound and generous donation of time, energy, and resources, EVERY KIND ACT COUNTS.

Here is Some that Trevor Added...
- gave his brother a hug
-helped his sister feel better at the doctor's office
-cleaned up toys for his brother
-helped his Mom by putting laundry away
-made a special picture for his mom
-helped his Dad when the van broke down
