My grandfather was a teacher. He was the headmaster of a school for boys between thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me presents, and seated me on his knee, and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.

At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys, there was silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, the boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work that was not the best the boy could do, my grandfather would pick up the boy’s book and throw it across the room, shouting, “Do it all again, and bring it back to me in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again, and again, and yet again. My grandfather never forgot.

A Deed a Day

I bought a notebook, named it “Our Deed Diary” and held a family meeting. I told my family I wanted us all to think about doing a　　　 for others every day. It could be for each other or for people outside our　　 . And we all needed to write it down in the notebook.

I thought one deed a day was too easy. However, it was actually　　　 than it seemed because it had to be something　　 what we had already done. Sending birthday cards to people we already sent cards to every year would not　　 .

We had a rough　　 . On some days, someone would forget to　　 a good deed, while on other days, we would forget to write our good deeds in the diary.

My daughters began to rush to me after school to　　 me the good deed they had done.

Now, after a year, I am happy to say that it is making a(n)　 　　　　 　 in our lives. Instead of always　　 what the day will bring for us, we think about what we can do for someone else.

Who would have thought that trying to do a simple kindness a day would be so　　 ? I feel my daughters have felt inner joy that you can only　　 by giving to someone else from your heart. The best thing is that you feel so great about doing something for someone else; you don't even look for or expect anything in　　 . So, when someone does return the favor, it is an enormous and positive　　 .
