I stumbled upon this website while browsing and I found it very interesting.

Sometimes kindness goes a long way if taught early.

I still remember one story about acts of kindness which I read in my childhood and

practice it often because it touched my heart at that time so profoundly.

The downloads on this site are nice and can help teachers and students alike!

I came across this lecture by Randy Pausch and I found it very thought provoking and impressive.
