First to smile, even when it’s hard; first to offer praise, even in small victories; first to lend a hand, even when it’s inconvenient; first to forgive, even without an apology; first to give, even when you have little; first to mend and maintain relationships, even when pride says otherwise; and first to admit your mistakes, even when ego resists. For it is in these quiet acts of courage and kindness that true greatness is found.
