    love! Birthdays to me are days for giving back. I used to think of it in terms of giving back to my loved ones because without them I wouldn't have made it to each birthday but now I'm more aware to give back to the community as well. It takes a village after all...

    Don't Ever change my friend. Please don't ever change. No doubt every person who received good from you that day, felt obliged to do a little something for others. You can bring about change.

    The creativity and imagination of Syed really impressed me. Obviously most of these Acts of Kindness were not spur-of-the-moment, but were carefully thought out. Wow!M

    Syed, I meant to write, did you do it for YOU? :) I found that when someone is happy doing things , it benefits everybody around:)) Plus it becomes inspiring for others:)))

  •  
    Sophie Paulin

    I am wondering if you were not tired to give after a while:) Personnally it doesn't inspire me. I makes me feel I am not doing enough. What kind of unconscious message do you have here. I hope you were truthfull when you went on your giving spree:)

    Today I took my 5 and 9 yr old kids to a local hospital to distribute 6 balloons. What a difference 6 balloons made! My son didn't want to do it... he was intimidated by going into the hospital. But afterwards told me "mom, that made me feel good". Great experience for us. Thanks to this video!!!

    On the 10th anniversary of my mother's death, I did 10 random acts of kindness; it felt wonderful. I am sure that the happiness Syed received by being a giver all day topped any material presents he could have received. It is, indeed, more blessed to give - particularly when it is a random act of kindness towards strangers, or an anonymous kindness for someone we care for. Thank you, Syed, for being an inspiration for so many.

    Mary

    I am inspired by how thoughtful Syed is, and what a great imagination he has for remembering so many people in the serving occupations. You are an inspiration to me!

    Simple it might be, but a great example of a random act of kindness . Remember not to break the chain of doing good everyday in thought in words in action God be with us as we do a little act of kindness everyday.

    We have bcome confused about 'gifting'...it's not about the 'getting' but the 'giving'. This young, 22 year-old man has a visibly contagious kind heart....I can only imagine the ripple effect of his many acts of kindness created. Thank you - and bless you! XO!

    As a teacher I get too caught up in "teaching" and don't look at my students as "children" enough - I am going to make a point of saying twice as many "kind" comments as "correcting" ones....had a rough week and this reminded me of why I choose becoming a teacher at age 45

  •  
    Cindy

    Syed, you took Robyn's idea and made it your own in the most beautiful and creative ways imaginable. You are a gem! THANK YOU for sharing your acts of kindness as it truly changed the day for me.

    way cool. if everyone thought of others like this, there would be no wars and all would have happy proeperous lives. Too bad no else ever thought to do this. Oh ya, Jesus taught that as did Ghandi.

    What inspired you about this video? Amazing ideas my friend! 22 and wise beyond your years. Many young men at your age are thinking of themselves on their birthdays and you are thinking of others. You are to kind and may all of your kindness come back full circle to you in this upcoming year because you deserve it. Happy Birthday my friend:)

    There are no big or small acts of kindness, any act of kindness is an act of love that comes from the heart. After watching this video, I know that all I have to do is look around and offer a hand with a smile and love. Thanks for sharing this video and inspiring us.

    Miguel

    This is so much fun..I hadn't thought about the birthday idea, random acts of kindness are what happens every day at www.unlimited-smileage.org If we all do our part we will have a collective of caring people that will change the world. I better get started on my birthday list..and plan on getting up really early that day :) Thanks for this wonderfully inspiring video.
