hello...

Actually I'm a bit confuse about that phrase. But sure it mean a lot to us. 'Kind words can be short and easy to speak'. This is true. Once, my mother use to tell me that all people were the same. No matter whether they are poor or rich they were all the same. Don't look at the appearance, better to know them first before making judgment. And for me I don't like to choose a friend. I just like to be friends with everybody. No matter whether they were bad, good, small, big, lower education, or even just kids. When you have a problem who else do let know first.? Is't your parent? You know the answer right. I have an experience where it was a mid sem break, I don't have a ticket home and got no where to go. I try to contact my old friend and who live at Kuantan, and luckily he let me sleep at his house that night. At the morning he sent me back home to Temerloh because the ticket been sold. As you can see he just my old friend and I not know him very well but our relationship just like he were my brothers. It was all thanks to my mother advise not to choose a friend. And for the information, my mom has past away few years, but i still remember her words and hold on to that.

Well to me, kindness really does not shown much in nowadays society. In order to earn money and obtain power, human can do anything to achieve what their want. For example the war happen at Palestin. Even though this kind of thinking is very materialistic, selfish or maybe you can name them as bad guy, but in fact that what we need to do to keep ourself exist and survive. However I still believe there still got some kind people who have humanity stand up to fight for the right but seldom success. I think that is why people say "is not easy to be a hero".

well..about that phrase 'kinds words can be short and easy to speak'..i think the simplest example word is 'sorry'.it is very simple word but very hard to say it.i have a very good friend since i was in standard 1 until now.but when we were in form 2 we had a very bad relationship and we got fight for about half year.and then i started to feel lonely and sad.when it comes to new year, i mean when we got in form 3 i called her and said i'm sorry.and we back to normal again.i was thinking that if i apologize to her earlier, we don't have to have a fight.and now, thanks god she and i are very best friend.

Hello everybody.
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."For me,the sentence have a deep meaning inside it.One word can change it all.One word can describe someone.That's show how powerful that word is.If you speak that word to someone,they will indeed happy with you because all of their sacrifices were appreciated by you.Youngsters these days have not being train to speak that word.That word have a very deep meaning and echoes to someone when you speak it.It's just a simple word but the person whom receive the word from you will remember it forever.They will indeed happy with you.That word also describe your true self without you realize it.That word is not too hard to speak but why many people nowadays can't speak it?My friends,lets train ourselves to speak that word,that word is just so simple.Even my 4 years old sister can speak it.So my beloved friends,lets just speak that word to anyone,anywhere to show how appreciate you are to that person.I would like first to said that word to Miss Intan for teaching us a lot and do your best for us and that word is THANK YOU.
Thank you once again.

Assalamualaikum and hello to everyone.
Like Pian say, he had a little confuse about the phrase. For me Pian is so lucky. This is because I’m facing a big problem to understand the phrase not only confuse but more confuse. But, after my english’s teacher explain to me about the phrase, I have understand the phrase. Thank you Miss Intan. In my opinion, the phrase tell us that it is not to difficult to say a kind word to people. This is because all people deserve to get a kind word from other people. The kind word that I talk about is kind. You know, for me everyone is kind. But their self make someone become bad. That’s all for today. I hope you all will understand about my opinion.
Thank you.

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless"... i think the words is very meaningful... if someone say that word it never forgotten until the end of their life... the word mybe word make someone happy or hurt... but i hope that word can make someone happy ver after... for me "i love you" and "thank you" is the powerful what that i want to say to my beloved father... i want to let he know how much i love him in my life n how important he in my life... and i want to say thanks you to him... abah i hope you will get well soon...abah i love you and thank you very much... hope u guys will always say you "i love you and thank you" to your parents not only to your boyfriend or girlfriend... because both of them we are here life in this earth...beautiful world...

Assalamualaikum w.b.tThis is very weird for me.I'm not really understand for this phrase.What i know is when somebody say that we will remember forever.When we speak something that are same like we pray.Thats mean when we say something bad thats me we want he or she to be bad.So the word that will make me remember forever is either "good boy".This because when somebody say that to be thats means he or she prays to ALLAH in other that me will become a good boy someday.Thats all.Thank you.

Hi everyone.
Salam.

What i understand about the phrase is: every one can show that they are using kind words to make people around them more confidence about them, it is just the matter of sincerely or not.

Assalamualaikum and hello to everybody…

Honestly, I have no idea when I read this quote but I am very sure that this quote has a deep meaning. For me, I think we should always live our lives as a kindness. We should always say kind words as well as be good to others so that they will always remember us. People around me always remind me about that. In order for others to be good to you, you first need to be good to others. They always say that what goes around, comes around. So, I should always be good to others. But, things are not always happen the way we want it to be. This will teach us to grow up and be more matured. Sometimes there is somebody who stabbed in the back. But still my parents and my brothers tell me not to take revenge towards them. Thanks to all of them who teach me a lot in order for me to live this life.

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak,but their echoes are truly endless".
Actually this phrase is something new for me and i have never heard it before and I not very sure about the meaning.But,i think it means that the simple word that very meaningful and not easy to be forget.For example is word 'sorry'.This word is very meaningful for me and i'm very sure to other people too.This word is like a magic word for me because it can change from bad to good situation.Especially in relationship.But, this word is very hard to say it.We have to realize about this thing because it is very important in our life to have a good relationshop with other people.
that's all for now..thanx..

" Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."

Actually, i have no experience with this quote but i will be telling you about what i understand with the quote.

kind words can be short and easy to speak.....is telling us that we don't have to talk much to tell about people about what are goods about them... it is more easier to talk about good things than bad things to people well...maybe infront of them...not many who will speak badly about others in front of them right....

their echoes are truly endless....is telling us that the word that we speak good about them or we praise them, will be remembered forever... this is because human like to hears good things about themselve than about bad thing... so the bad things normally people don't want to remember or hear but when it is a good thing about themselve will be remember forever...

so to make someone happy, we just need to say something nice then they will be happy and it will last forever...

this such a beautiful quote..but i really do not know what is the real meaning...for me,i do agree with aiesyah and nurul...i think,it is about something or some word that really simple and short but giving a sweet memory for us. based on my experience, i helped one of my best friend for her wedding like put 'innai' on her finger..decorate her room,doing some decoration for bunga telur..accompany her to buy things for her wedding and many more....on her wedding day,she and her husband comes to me and say thank you to me..at that time,i felt so happy because i knew that they really appreciate of what i have done...till now,i felt so happy because i was helped my best friends...
i think,this is the best example to describe what i think about this quote...thank you..

Assalamualaikum and a very pleasant to Miss Intan and to all my friends. The fact of an idea which is kindness is something that is valuable in our lives, something that reminds me of something else that was happened in my life and I find it surprising. “Kind words can be short and easy to speak”, this is actually related to our behaviors either physically or emotionally. The quality of being kind is about to treat somebody with full of consideration, caring about others, gentle, friendly and generous. From my point of views and based on my situations, you will find a lot of friends and also gain the precious experiences when you deal with different kinds of people or races. As a prove, you have to carry out this experiment to study what would happens if you practice it in your surrounding community. With a sweet smile, a polite conversation and good manner, you will be remembered by them. So, I can say that this is really relevant for us as humans. What a beautiful quotes!
