Agree with everyone who posted so far. My 2 cents: Admit when you are wrong and if someone admits to YOU that they are wrong, be gracious about it. We all make mistakes; we are all human.

Put a small saucer with a tiny bit of water on it in the garden during hot and dry periods. Bees, bumblebees and other insects will be very grateful.

There was a girl with a broken leg that fell down the stairs at school. Everyone passed her and didn’t even think to help!
So I went over there to help her even though I was 30 minutes late for my last class. Her mother came to pick her up from school and her mother thanked me and hugged me and all that stuff, and me and the girl have been friends ever since. What I am trying to say is, try to make someone’s day a little better and help as much as you can!

1) Don't litter. Your mama is not trailing along behind you picking up your messes. 2) Hold a door for a stranger. 3) actually listen when older people speak. And don't assume they are senile, and treat them like children. Don't talk about them when they are right there. 4) Don't judge people too harshly. You don't know what is going on in their lives, or what their history is.

Don't throw your litter on the floor. If you already don't, pick an extra bit up when you get the chance.

Parents let your boys cry, and comfort them when they do. So much anger stems from troubles in childhood.
And I do wish more pet parents would take the time to understand the living soul they're responsible for.

Pay it forward; when doing a favor or helping folks in need, I often ask them to pay it forward instead of pay me back. I have been very fortunate to have friends AND strangers help when life knocked me down, and many of those also only asked that I pay if forward.
Buy the coffee for the stranger in line behind you.
If you see someone having to remove some food from their shopping cart because they are short a few $$, chip in enough to cover.
Put down the phone and drive.

Treat people the way you would want to be treated. Use good manners with people you dont know. If you see someone being a bully to someone else, stand up to them if you can.

Focusing on fixing a fundamental problem instead of the symptoms. Against abortion or high crime rates? Those are symptoms. Create policies that encourage and support families, the fundamental structure of society. Freakanomics theorized that because of Roe vs Wade, there were fewer unwanted children to become society menaces 20 years later and NY state saw its largest drop in crime. But what if those children were wanted and supported from the beginning?
