Patience and kindness

Two good qualities of character are that of having patience and kindness. It does not matter how old you are, or how old the people are that you come into contact with each day. They may be your family, neighbors or strangers that you brush past occasionally.

Using patience and kindness when in the presence of others is treating them with respect. Remember the Golden Rule? “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. Likewise, and most importantly, it is a true test of character when you are placed in a position of interacting and helping the elderly people. Always remember...you too, will be old someday...so how would you like to be treated?
