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

I do agree on this quote. Kindness is something that we really need and valuable in our life. Being kind to people is usually something that comes from our heart, and people who receive the kindness will keep and remember about it deep inside their heart because it is something that worth it for them although they do not show it. Sometimes we do not realize that we already let out the kindness from our words, but it will give big effect for those who receive those words from us. For example, when someone says this simple word, "thank you" to us, it will be meaningful and it feels like what we had done is worth it. "Sorry" is another kind word that is really meaningful to us. By saying this word to another person, it can soften others people heart. Maybe some people think that it is hard to ask for forgiveness, but actually it is just one simple kind word that we have to practice it in our life. With it, there will be no war. Last but not least, peace no war.

Oh...so touching my heart this beautiful quote!hehe...I agree with this quote.As we know,kindness is very related in humans daily life.Humans life should be full filled with kindness.It's so easy to say the words that show our kindness although it's just a simple word such as "thanks".We can show our kindness through the words that we are saying.I,m agree with nisa said.If we have made a mistake to a person and we said "i,m so sorry" to him/her,it's just showed our kindness to that person.This will makes the person are feeling appreciated with our kindness.And the echo of that word is truly endless in the person's heart.My experience related to this quote?Emm...too much to be storied...hehe.From this sentimental quote,I can conclude that we should be kind in our actions and words.Kindness is the most important element to keep our relationship with God,parents,family and friends.That all...

salam...
i agree with neeysa and fahmi..to maintain our relationship with God,parents,family,friends and our nature,firstly do a lot kindness to them.but,we must sincere..many ways we can do to show our kindness.such as, by giving money,help in study.in our field,as student we can help our friends to do assignment by discussion.you know,when we teach or share our knowledge with others it can help us to stable and gain our knowledge.so,please share with others even one word.beside that,'thanks' and 'sorry' are two words that contain deep meaning.even there are simple words, and easy to speak but the affect is very meaningful.so,try to become forgiver and give and take person..you will become the most favorite person to others..

hi...everyone..

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

i'm totally agree on this quote.its remind me to someone that gives me a lots of meants in my life.
when i read this quote,something was run over my mind.its all about kindness.
everybody can do a lots of kindness counciously or unconciously.the same goes with willing or unwilling..
either the one of it,it still gives us an effect even an inch.that's true we can let it out those kind thing easily but sometimes the other part will take the advantage of it.so,we just need to beware and be careful with the the people surrounding you.apart from that,i'm also do agree with all my buddies who are bring words'thank you' and 'sorry' in their comments.
from my experience,i have found one person that admit one thing in his life..he said that it is hard to him to ask forgiveness from the other parts.its really sounds cruel..but we can't do nothing because it is his life's principe which is make he happy to being like that and i can see that there is a deep meaning behind his words actually.in a positive side,i can say he is a perfectionist actually which is means he likes to do things perfectly and is not satisfied with anything less so that he will not required to say sorry to the other parties.thats the way i judge him.
the same goes to the words 'thank you'.the people who are likes to say thank you are the person who are considered other parts and shows their rescectation which is
should be in ourselves as a human being.as a conclusion,try to give and take and you'll see everything will going smoothly then.
this should be enough for now.
thank you.

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.

i think it is beautiful quote.. kind words are very needed in our life. especially when we talk to others. for me, being kind is very important. it show our relation with others are very valuable. perhaps the kindness are truly from our heart. of coarse sometime we didn't see the effect of being kind,but different people have different heart. sometime the shortest kind words like "thanks" are very meaningful to people.
it show the appreciation to others. i think if you often saying the kind word, everyone will love you..

So am I, for me I'm totally agree with this quote.Some word are short and simple to say,like "I'm sorry" I think but for sure It really meaningful to others people when we say it.Maybe we see it as a simple word, but it's really difficult to say by others people.It shows our kindness and our respect, so people will be appriciate it.When we make good and kindness to people, sometimes it will pay it back to us.Try it if you don't trust me.You will be see the truth.

Assalamualaikum to all my friends here. As a human being, kindness is the important thing to our human life. This is because without kindness, human cannot be tolerating with other people. There is so easy for us to being kindness. Like my friends said before, sometime we doesn't know about our self kindness and it comes sincerely and honest without force such saying 'thanks' or ask for forgiveness. Lastly, we should let our self in a good life,means be a god boy and be a good girl.

AkMa said...

assalamualaikum..

I strongly agree on this quote..it have deep meaning..in our opinion,everyone can be kind person
but its depend from ourselves..if we being kind when we want something from other person,its mean nothing..being kind to our friends,family and person that we do not know them before usually come from our heart..we are willing to that..we dot ask reward from person that we be kind to them..but sometime we do not realize,may be some people have wrong meanings with our kindness..may be they will think we want people that we be kind to appreciate our kindness to them..it has many ways to show our kindness..from our language and our attitude..but may be some people do not want other people realize their kindness..

assalamualaikum and good day..

I totally agree with this quote. For me all of people can say a kind word but most of them are not easy to speak out. They are fear if they speak it, it will make their pride go down. some of the word that easy but hard to tell are 'thank you' and 'sorry'. It was not a shame thing if we said it when somebody help us or we do a mistakes. What the most important things is, the value of that words toward the other person side. It also shows that we appreciate and what they have done and we apologize with what we have done. No matter it is, that kind word will remind them towards us although it is a simple and easy word.

So, believe in yourself that others will appreciate with what you have said.

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

i am stongly agree with this quote. KIndness is the most valuable character that everyone should have.That’s hard for me to answer when people asking me some kind of kindness question,I will think “Isn’t it better to be mean?”.Kindness or mean?I choose kindness.For me, people is judge by his/her kindness inside themselves rather than their pyhsical appearance where outside of people can change but inside charactes difficult to change.

hi...
I also do agree on this quote. Kindness is something that we really need and valuable in each human life.Every one has this characteristics in their life.Some of them can easily show kindness ,but some of them find it very hard to do.For me kindness can be shown using a simple words like "thank you" or by doing something good like being helpful to each others,caring and others.Every one has this kindness in their life even in a bad person as well.Maybe he's bad,but there must be a little bit kindness in his life...because that is human nature....that's all for now

assalamualaikum.....
totally agree with this qoute..
kindness hard to describe by word..
it is depends to us how we are going to appreciate their kindness..and sometimes we do not realize the kindness of someone.but when that person is far away from us,we are going to miss them and always remember them in our mind.
in my opinion,kind person are always being loves by everybody.but sometimes,we have to look at the situation,i mean not every part we should be kind.
and there are a person in this world who always e kind even that their kind will hurt them.
thanks

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

Honestly, I really agree on this quote. This beautiful quote is telling us about the simple kind word has a power to touch the human’s heart. Maybe we doesn’t realize that the words such as, thank you, sorry, take care and other kind words will make someone’s heart happy and feel so appreciated. All these words are really familiar in our daily life as a human. We used it every day without any expectation. But, do we know what means are these words really? Hmm.. In my experience, if I got angry, I will cool down when someone says sorry to me. It feels like she or he cares about my feeling and got their attention. Beside, by saying “thank you” to others, I think it will show how we appreciated them. How about “take care”? it is so sweet words to hear right? It is really means that someone is taking care of you. I had read an article and the author had stated that, “when someone said take care to you, it same goes as he or she said I love you.“ so sweet..haha. The beauty of words. It is a good deed to be practices. Kind words are really short and simple. But it would be so nice.

Lots of love,
Thank you.

salam..for me i agree with that quote..is hard to declare that we are kind person right?but for me everybody must have instinct to become good and kind person..and we can say that person kind if they do good things only..with nice word like thank you,good morning,sorry, the person kindness will appear..this all my opinion n my view..and lastly i want to say is..what ever that people do to us we must forgive ourselves first before we forgive them..because what they do is a part of our mistake..and forget that thing and try to built to new relationship..tq

hello everyone..
i am totally agree with this poem.kindless can be shown by our speechand action.peolpe can usually being polite and kind to others.this is good example to shown to others.but nowadays the kindness of people is decrease.they should realize that if we do kind to others the good things will come back to us.as people always said what goes around comes around.so ifwe do kind to others,the kindness willl come back to us.it is not hard to be kind.for example just say thank you to someone that helps you.the people you thank will feel apriciation form you.eventhough it is just 'thank you' word but it is so meaningful.

palie said...

I really agree with this quote. I think this quote telling us about kindness. Kindness is one of good characters that we should have in our life. I really believe that all people in this world have their own kindness and their show their kindness with difference way. Even some people is a bad person their still have their own kindness. Word like “I’m sorry”,”thank you” and other word that can show our kindness is very simple to say. Besides that, with this word we can show our respect to others. And lastly I think we must try to become a good person not only with kindness as our characteristic but must have other characteristic like honest.

i'm totally agree on this quote.specially when we talk to others. for me, being kind is very important.If we speak bad something to people, maybe people will hate and remember what you said.Every words we speaks will asessed by people.If we make some mistake, we can express our apologize to people commitedly.We also must appreciate to peolple if he made some work for us.Lastly, we should let our self in a good life,means be a good boy and be a good girl.

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

i agree on this quote.i make us realizes the value of kindness although it is a simple thing.by being kind to a another person it give a valuable meaning to them thus will eventually lead them to also being kind to us and prevent any fight.although it is simple,but kind words sometimes seems very hard for us to say.why?i think the only person that know it is ourself.but i think it time for us to practice using kind words in ourlife now to reduce the fight and war between humans.

This poem remind me about regardness from other peopledone. In my childhood I'm not strong as like now. Because of that I'm always be helping by other people expectualy my neighbour. In my childhood I was keep by my neighbour while my mother teaching in kindergarten untill I'm get in the school. My neighbour, nenek mie, was my second mother to me. I always meet her everydays. But I always miss her like I miss my family. Before I'm get in my matrix I always help her because all her children live in other place. I think, what I've done to her is not enough.....

urgh...!!!
to be honest with you all,i really have no idea about this quote.But
I can say that this quote has it own and deep meaning.
But what i can say is about kind.To be kind to others is good.Others will feel better if we act kind to them.Kind is crucial in relationship.It is needed for everyone of us.We should always say kind words and be good to others so that the others will always remember us in their mind.
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.That is the most important thing for us as human to do the right thing.
Last sentence from me.
'Let you life in peace guys'

bye... =]




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.

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone..
My comment about “kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless’ this phrase can suitable for all because it can be one of the parts in life. In our life, everybody has their missteps beside that we should being a kind person and help others even though they think we're not sincere enough to help them. But as long our intention is right and we think what we do is right so just proceed with it and ignore others which talking at the back...
I know..
As a friend, should be good advisor, good listener..
Be ourselves.. Then in my life, kindness was poured to me nonstop. The kindness of my parent, family, teachers, and friends are non-stop and still going strong. So I think that I’m the luckiest person in the world. Being faithful also the most important in our life because without faith we won't know what going to happen to us...
That all from me
thanks for help

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

Regarding this quote ,my respond is totally agree with it.For me,although some kind owrds are short and easy to spek as in quote,but it really leave a big impact to the person listening to it.for example,i will be very happy to hear compliment from others,from miss intan maybe.then i will be so happy and keep get myself involve in activity that been carry in the class.Thus a kind words really affect many people life.so,start from today lets speak more kind words to person around you.Make him think that their are still hope and also people who are concerning them,make them think that the world is still wonderfull...

amin said...

Assalamualaikum...

I certainly agree that this quote has an endless echoe. To me being kind or in other word saying something kind may in look someones character. The individual who practises to speak kind word while showing kind deeds may imply to be a positive person with positive thought.the quote is very beautiful and i like it so much. such like easy and short kind world really echoes endlessly.The most inresting part that i have just realize is, at the end of their speak they would use different kind of word that brings the same meaning which is 'perhaps you will understand at the end of the world.'
Thanks

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

I strongly agree with the statement.Though I cannot remember myself saying kind words that short,easy to speak and its echoes are truly endless,but I strongly believe that these scenario exists.

I change my mind and take back my words! I can remember saying those kind of words.Yes, I use words like "thanks","please" and"sorry" a lot and I am really proud to have said those words.Wow!this fact have shocked myself.

Nevermind that,but the words that I had mentioned above fits the quote of the topic.Try to say "I'm sorry" to your friend when you accidentally broke his/her favourite watch, you can see that your friend's facial expression will definitely change. Maybe he will take sometime to forgive you(as it is his/her favourite watch) but by apologizing, you have certainly make him to calm down from being an incredible hulk!
