   你知道吗？当你对别人友好的时候，对你自己也是有好处的。即便是小小的善举也能提高你的自信，帮助你感觉和周围的人联系更紧密。

    善良意味着为他人做一些体贴入微的事情，而不求任何回报。它可能是一个小而简单的行为，比如把守打开的门，或者是一些花费时间和努力的事情，比如亲手为你的朋友做一份礼物。善良不仅仅是你做的事情；这也意味着关心和考虑他人的感受，同时你自己的感受。

   科学家发现，当你对别人友善时，你的身体会满是化学物质使你更平静、更健康、更快乐。当你为慈善组织做志愿工作时，例如，你觉得自己是社区的一分子，这可以提高你的自尊心、建立友谊。善良也是传播的某样东西，就像池塘里的涟漪一样。如果你为别人做了一件好事，他们可能会受到激励也做好事。

   研究表明，善良是一种我们学习并通过实践变得更好的东西。所以从简单易行的开始，比如给一位失去联系一段时间的朋友发条信息。试着做你喜欢的事情，当你为别人做事情的时候，记住它。看是否你能把善良变成一种习惯。
