Try to be a good person, never got good return

Good deeds will always be rewarded. If you have done any good thing in your life it will be absolutely rewarded very soon.well wishers have many things to suffer in their life.one more thing , everybody could not be a good thinker everytime. Being good situation dependent.

That is too bad. :( When you do a good deed, it seems like that shouldn't happen. Did you explain to your friend how upset you were since your friend said it would only take 30 minutes and then took over an hour?

Yes, clorissa, in this modern world it is difficult to remain a good person. It often frustrates when we don't get anything good for being good to others and the society.But we can't be bad persons for that matter. May be we should arrive at a balance and live as good persons and not too good persons. lol.

You are not saying anything I haven't felt before. Everytime I turn around someone is wanting me to do favors for them. I don't even get a thank you most of the time. And I have been late for appointments myself trying to help others. I don't know the answer. I decided to get my point across quitely....I am a Graphic Designer and so I made a shirt that says "Don't mistake my Kindness for Ignorance" I wore it to work on Sales meeting day...And while I was working on the next catalog, one of the Reps. Came over and started laughing.. She said I totally understand... It's been real quite now for a bit. No Reps expecting me to create special flyers without extra pay...I hope it got my point across. At least it did for right now..I guess sometimes I am just to nice and let people walk all over me..Good luck with your business partner.

oh clorissa 123 yes you did because what goes around '] comes around and what you did for someone else even though it caused you some problems will in the end come back ' around and do something good for you. it is true,what goes around comes around. Your are a good person and I bet your business partner will be over the mad at you by 'then and when he or she hears why he or she will tell you that you are indeed a good person.

Wow, I can imagine how does it feel like. I really feel being annoyed when someone doesn't fulfil his appointment with me. Beside, I try my best to come up on time, real time, but they don't respect me and meet me late late, very late. I don't really like that, and actually I really hate it. Sometimes I even get mad at my friend, but my really friends, and I 'suggest' him to complete the appointment with me. =)

life sometimes is like that. there are times when you won't like helping others anymore since you know that there's nothing that is beneficial to you in the end. in my case, i help without thinking something in return. it would be stressful for me when i do that. anyways, you're a great guy and you're on of a kind.

yeah i know the feeling too, i've learned that we need to tell people no at time. i would have told your friend no because of the business meeting which to me is more imporant then her own stuff. what i often do when i know the person is just trying to get me to do them a favor and not worry about what i got going on i tell them no. i'm straight up and honest with them, specaily if i have a business meeting for my company i am trying to start up

I think it is a matter of asserting oneself. I know that it is not an easy thing to do especially when saying no is required but if you don’t people will continue to make more and more demands on you because you are usually so obliging. I have a lot of work to do in that area myself because I find it very difficult to refuse people or state clearly what I want. What I think you should have clearly said to your friend is that you had to go by 4.30 sharp and if she wasn’t finished she would have to take a cab home because your appointment was very important. If she is a reasonable friend she would have understood.

Oh well, that's life, as they always say. *sigh* Good deeds pay off. But professionalism and being responsible pay off too. You got no one to blame for this. Maybe this isn't just your day. :) But dude, one thing's for sure, you'll get something good for what you did. "Whatever you sow, you shall reap on the right time."

Sometimes it happens. We get into trouble in relation to our own commitments because of a good deed. But then, isn't it right to say that being good also includes accepting the consequences without looking for any benefits ?? Especially if that's a friend. Moreover one can always prioritize things and plan better to face last minute hassles.

Hi clorissa123, sometimes things like that are really happening. We do good to others but turned out bad on our side. But don't stop doing good things, your good deeds will soon be rewarded. You may not see it now, but I know in time you will. Have a nice day.

I think you are not trying to be a good person but really a good person. It just happened that sometimes good person doesn't know saying the word "no". With that situation, you can tell her that you must for about 4:30 because you have an important appointment with your business partner. And I'm sure she will understand if you have tell her.

i would like to appreciate that you done.And love to here that getting satisfaction in giving others without expecting any thing

Sometimes I think we have all been in this boat. You try to be a Good person and help someone else out, thinking you'll have plenty of time, and then have time for your appointment and such as well, and then life happens. You end up in a traffic jam, etc. and have to put what you were wanting and needing to do on hold and hope that the other people will seem to understand as well. I think all you can hope for is that they will understand, and that you will be able to get everything all done like you were planning as well. Wishing you the Best.

I have been in very similar situations and have learned a lot from them. The next time, why not leave your friend at her appointment and pick her up after yours? She may have to wait a little while, but at least she got there. I think that you did a nice thing, but I really hope you can get your business taken care of too.

You should have told her that if she was not out by 4:30 you would be back for her after your appointment. If your appointment was going to last longer then the chiropractor doctor office was open she might have to call a cab. Tell her the appointment is with your partner and you can not miss it. Explain all of this to her before you even take her to the chiropractor so if this does not work for her she can make arrangement with maybe another friend or family member.
