Hey 1114,, for me, in one sentence, it is:
Making a positive difference in the world about you!
Starting with a smile, a compliment?

The other day, I was out & about in my nearest town for financial reasons!
Wasn't in a good mood, as I strode alongside my husband fretting!
What looked like, a pram came hurtling towards me and my husband...
I was talking intensely (if you know whadda mean?) with him at the time, looked up and saw this thing come hurtling towards us! Phil stood still and stared as it wheeled towards the road! I immediately threw myself to stop it, succeeded and just before congratulating myself and searching for the 'mother', realized it was the post man's bloody letter trolly!!
I steered it back to the place it came from, propped it up safely, so's not to give anyone else a heart attack, and carried on to the bloody awful place we had an appointment with!
An hour later, I recollected that moment and thought to myself: 'I did a good little deed there! Without needing praise for it either!!'
That's the thing! Doing a good deed without praise.
