Kindness at work is often underrated. Too often, especially when very busy, it can be so tempting to cut short on the niceties and drive straight into the work. I know that I personally am guilty of this sometimes; with a long to-do list, it’s easy to only focus on the immediate what needs [...]
Kindness is not only one of the netlogx operating principles, but it is also our theme for this year. As a company, we have tried to keep KINDNESS at the forefront of everything that we do! We have sent several kindness postcards to team members throughout the year as gentle reminders, treated everybody to [...]
No act of kindness is ever wasted, no matter how small. --Aesop Kindness is not necessarily something one would expect a business to promote. Not only is it one of the company’s operating principles, but netlogx has seen fit to highlight it this year by challenging team members to do something kind for [...]
There’s a lot to be said about being kind. It is a quality that is contagious. When people treat me with kindness, I want to reciprocate. It reminds me of The Golden Rule: “Treat others how you want to be treated / Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” It [...]
Most of us know what it means to be kind. We think of things like being polite, using manners, treating others with respect, and being generous and considerate. I think there is another form of kindness that isn’t quite so obvious. Last spring, I backpacked the Devil’s Path, in the Catskills of New [...]
My 90-year-old father-in-law John still lives in his own home—an American Foursquare originally built in 1922 on the East Side of Saint Paul, Minnesota. It is the kindness of family members and neighbors that allows him to continue to live (and thrive) in his own home. While my spouse and her sister handle [...]
Last year, I witnessed a new side of kindness. It is largely derived from love, but the actions I’ve seen those around me take have been really heartwarming and reassuring. My grandpa passed away in early February 2023. To no surprise, my family and I were very sad. We felt sadness for ourselves, but [...]
One of my favorite quotes is an Aesop quote on kindness, “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted”. This is especially true in small communities. Every act of kindness makes a big impact, even if you consider the act to be a small gesture. In the digital age, it can [...]
As I reflect on the year I’ve had in 2023, it’s safe to say it was a little chaotic (but in the best way)! My fiancé, Amir, and I bought our first house in April and we’ve been working on some minor renovations to make it our own. We’re also deep into planning our [...]
As an example of good karma, I present my neighbor, Bob, and how his thoughtful assistance to my family and our neighbors has returned to him through kindly acts from me and my fellow neighbors. We moved into our house in the summer of 1995, and Bob was one of the first neighbors we [...]
