Pay it Forward
After watching this video, I realized how self-centered I live my life. Although I like to think of myself as being a good person, I came to the realization that I should spend more of my day looking for opportunities to make someone else's day better rather than focusing so much on meeting my own objectives or personal agenda. What did you take from this video? In your opinion, what one thing would make the world a better place? Explain.

I got that people should stop caring solely about themselves. I see it day after day and it makes me sad. I feel like the world would be better if people began to care about each other more. Day after day, we hurt each other, ruin each others day, even start fights, all from a lack of caring. All we'd have to do is just think of others instead of ourselves.
This video showed me that we all need to be more caring of others and not just care about ourselves. If the people of the world would just help each other out and not cause problems then the world would be a better place.
We need to help others in our lives. You can't always be selfish or you won't have anyone. The world would be a better place if people solved their anger without senseless attacks. There is no reason to kill people because you are too good to keep a temper in check. If that can ever happen.
It is human nature to be self centered. I know I am at times. The world would be a better place if everyone had the "pay it forward" attitude. It would also be better if everyone could strive just to make one person's day per day. I hope I can start living like that.

I absolutely love this video! I liked how one good deed started a chain reaction. Although this it is highly unlikely that this would happen in today's time, I wish it would. If everyone, including myself, would look to be helping others instead of themselves, the world would be a much better place to live in. What this world needs is generosity and overall kindness.
This video shows what could happen if people were selfless which they aren't. Some people are selfless and I personally don't know how they do it. The only time I feel selfless is around family and close friends, other than that I'm a jerk. I can't go out of my way to help people I don't know.
Everyone needs a helping hand every once in awhile. This video shows if someone does one good deed it will cause someone else to do a good deed. One thing that can make the world a better day, is to be more nice to people more often.
It made me realize that I am very selfish. It made me realize that I need to start doing stuff for other people and not all about myself. If we all just got along ad had peace, the world would be a better place. Even though that will never happen, it would still help. I am scared to see what my kids are going to live like when they get born.
People need to start thinking about others before themselves sometimes. We live in a world where a lot of people worry about themselves all the time. Imagine how much better the world will be if we all stopped and put others before ourselves every once and awhile. Respect and kindness would definitely make the world a better place. If everyone could take a few moments out of their day to be kind to someone, the world would be a much better place.
I took from this video is that if you are a kind person then kind things will happen to you. If America would just call a meeting with all the countries and when they are all their just launch all the nuclear missiles. Then everybody would launch their missiles. Then America destroys their missiles and then says something cool. Then the other countries would destroy their missiles. Then there wouldn't be any nuclear warheads.
I really like the video it shows people doing good things for other people than themselves. This wouldn't happen in real life. People are so into themselves. They won't do anything for anybody. You do have a select few that will do good deeds for other people.
This video showed me that the world would be a better place if everyone wasn't so self-centered. We should all strive to be better people and to give a hand out to those who need it.
This video made me feel really crappy and selfish. I think going good deeds are contagious, and if one does a good deed more people will start doing a good deed. What this world needs is more genuinely nice people.
Everyone should be selfless and help one another. Unfortunately, as humans, we are naturally self-centered. I am at times, but mostly I at least try to help others. I just don't do it excessively, because I don't want people taking advantage of me. The world would be a better place if we all took the time to empathize and understand one another.
This video is really inspiring. The acts of kindness brought a smile to my face. The smallest gestures can truely brighten someone's day. The world would be a much better place if everyone put others before themselves. I hope I have a positive influence on others' lives.
This video showed to me that simply helping one little kid can in turn help a whole city. When you show compassion and care to one person, the other person may feel appreciative and help another and that person helps another and so on. When you do a good turn daily, you brighten at least one person's life daily. That person could feel so amazed and grateful that they brighten another's life. It would make the world so much smoother and much more happier if everyone showed kindness and compassion to each other. If there was one thing, that would help change the world it would be people showing kindness to each other whether they know them or not. I think everybody needs a little lifting up.
I think everyone should help each other out in someway or another. I can say I am a little self centered,but I have been working on it. If people helped each other out more the world would be a better place.

If we all worked as a team, to better everyone's life rather than for individual success, it would make the world a better place (And a bit of background music). To be able to relax constantly throughout the day, without being lazy, is what would make people be more courteous. Being calm and more observative, not going 95 mph all day, will set your life onto the right track to start helping others.
People should help each other.Im not self centered.People should help each other and everyone can work together.

This place would be better if there was no more death and hate. I help people as much as I can its just who I am. I can be selfish in some situations and that really needs to change.
Everyone should help each other out in someway. I believe everyone is a little self centered, even if they do help out other people sometimes. Even the small gestures could brighten someones day. One thing that would make this a better place is if we could all work together and actually get along.

This video makes me want to help people more. I didn't really realize how much helping somebody out just alittle bit can make their day better. Now I'm going to start helping people out more.
This video shows that there are still people in this world that aren't bad. People go through days thinking of all the negative things. If you just look around you could make someone's day better by just doing a simple thing. If one thing could make the world a better place, it would be that every person on earth would do a good deed daily. This would change the world and make it better.
I try to be a good person, and if I see someone that needs help I will usually help them. My favorite was when he gave food to the homeless man. It just made him so happy with something so simple.
I like how everyone helps one another in the video. I really wish our world was like this. Everyone says they should help someone in need whether big or small. Watching this video I think that I should help others and look for opportunities to help someone. If you stop and think about it though not everyone is nice and can be a bad person, a lot of people judge and wouldn't help because the world has gone bad.
The little boy left his skateboard. Also, The girl paying for the parking didn't have a car parked there. i think people should pay more attention to making a video before they produce something like this that's supposed to be cute but it's really just ignorant.
Do right by people and people will do right by others, and eventually back to you. Peace, peace will make this world a better place. Peace my brothers, peace.
You should help someone that looks like there struggling with something or anyone. One thing that would make the world a better place would be if people stopped thinking of themselves and start thinking of others.
Everyone helps each other. If everyone helped someone other than themselves the would be better.

I believe we should others like we help our self. I don't think that helping one person would have a domino affect on everyone else to help someone that needs it. I don't know what would make the world a better place
This video taught me me to treat others with respect. World peace would make the world a better place
This video shows how good works circle. I know that just to know you have helped someone feels good, and you leave with a smile on your face. I also got from this video that the help continues. Once you are helped, you want to do the same for everyone else. It's hard to say what would make the world better, because there are so many. I wold have to say if bombs and nuclear weapons would never be able to be made, and we could never event them. I chose this, especially because of all the recent things. What happened in Boston, is what occurs daily in Syria and other countries. These children live everyday dodging bombs.

I liked this video. I do think of myself as a very kind person. Everyday I am a person who looks everywhere and even between the cracks during the day for opportunities to make a mark on someone by helping them. I have a very big heart and most of the time I put others before myself. I focus on the importance of things of others rather than my on priority's. The world would be such a better place if people would be more understanding and respectful. I wish some people would learn that "We are all alike, we are all human beings, and we all matter in this world". It isn't always going to be about you all your life and the the world doesn't revolve around you.

I think this shows that one deed leads to another. I think that if everyone was more helpful to each other like in this video the world would be a better place.
I think this is a wonderful video! It just goes to show that if you do good things then good things will happen to you. I just want to stop all the hate in the world. I want everything to be peaceful and for everyone to get along. I mean, what's the point in being mad at someone when being nice is so much easier? Hate is such a weak emotion.
It's basically treat others like you would want to be treated and help others in need. The world would be a better place if everyone would get along and work together instead of fighting each other.
Everyone should keep the peace. There should be no fighting, no war. We should all learn to work together and help each other.
I wish the world worked more like this video. One person after another just helping someone or doing something simple to pick up their day. It's a really great feeling to gain whether you're the giver or receiver. I know there will never be world peace because let's face it, everyone has an opinion and we all have different morals, etc. But if more people were like the people in this video, it would definitely make a lot of change.
