By Michael Lee

It always feels good to do random acts of kindness, because it exemplifies the saying, "Be the change you want to see in the world." But doesn't it feel like the world is such a big place for just one person to change?

The truth is that every little good thing we do matters. We just can't leave the work to other people; we all have to do our share. The following is a random acts of kindness list that can make the world a better place - one act a time.

1) Tell your friends and family members how much you appreciate them.

2) In the office, at the bank, on an elevator or a train, hold the door open for someone else.

3) Pick up a piece of trash lying on the street and put it in a trash can.

4) Greet the doorman a good day.

5) Give your seat to another person.

6) Compliment a co-worker for his or her good performance.
