Hello @KatieMcBroom ,
Yes, as you say, we are social people who model the importance of kindness!! I respect all those who make non-profit contributions. So I’m hesitating because it’s unfair to describe the kindness of a particular person, Still, I know some people who put in practice what is kindness.
Some guides know me and @KimberlyAnnG are one of my best friends. She looks may be active, passionate, and have an impression of being friendly with no discrimination. However, the keyword that expresses her that I know is “kindness to people with weak positions” And I believe this is an essential part of the dignity of the Local Guide. She is the one who can let go it to save the weak, even if there is something that can get. This is consistent with the leadership I think. But this doesn’t mean sacrifice. This is the opposite of general leadership. So we are close.
Indian @HimanshiS suffers from difficult Japanese language, but is undertaking a busy job in Japan. I was worried that she would be lonely in Japanese society, so I often contacted her. When I have an errand in Tokyo, she opens up a very busy schedule and meets me everytime. @Izumi also invited me to be in Tokyo.
“Meeting” is simple but not so easy. This is because it is necessary to make various preparations for the opponent. In particular, it is difficult for Japanese people (especially Tokyo) to meet for daily thanks. They are guides who can do that.
@catlinging is also a kind person. I visit Taiwan frequently for work and something. She will always meet me and support my life in Taiwan with information. She appropriately dealt with my troubles caused by cultural differences. Is this just a Connect Live 2018 Friend that is a strong relationship? I do not think so. It is a leadership action that tries to save the weak.
And I want to tag @davidhyno and @OSAMA who make excellent comments on Connect many time. Their keyword is “Responding equally to unfamiliar guides”. Send frequent comments to everyone’s posts and just praise them without criticizing or disproving them. This seems simple but difficult.
Again, thank you always!!
