Pay it forward

Yes I have heard of this saying before about pay it forward, I have done this a couple of times in my life as well. I also have helped out complete strangers and don't they get a surprise and wonder why you are helping them out but then again later it has happened to me and someone has said when I was short here is a dollar so that I could buy the item so it pays off when you are kind of others.

Hi ausnikki your so right about paying it forward. I like it. I think that was really sweet of you to help that elderly person. I hope your around when I am alittle short too.LOL Your definetly right about giving you a great feeling. It does. And yes it really would be a better place if more people were willing to pay it forward.

Gee there you go Nikki it just goes to show that you are a lovely caring person indeed

yeah I have done it befor a few times I am always willing to help somebody in need so to say Pay it forward... It is a great feeling... I have seen the movie too which I thought was fantastic.....

I;ve never heard this particular expression before .. but it sounds a bit like the UK equivalent of 'what goes around comes around' .. and if someone does something good for someone else then in turn they find something good happens to them .. and the reverse of course if it's a bad thing .. All my life I have always stepped in and offered to help out where needed ... and you never know when you might need a few pennies yourself ..

this is one of the best post i hae seen yet, thank you for posting it, have you ever seen the movie pay it forward?? if not i wuld recommend it to you it is an old one but great movie... i try to do something good every day, the one thing i do the most is pray for other people, and they usualy dont even know im praying for them some i dont even know, like every time i see someone broke down on the road, i pray that god will watch over them , help them get back on hte road, safe and send good help soon, and that the car does'nt need much repairs, it sounds like a big prayer but i've been paraying that one for four years, and i think its what keeps me from breaking down, seeing as thats a big fear of mine, and i also pray before i leave home, and have had many incidents where we have almost got hit or someone wrecked right in front of us and if we'd been a few min sooner it wuld have been us. so i bless others with my prayers and i feel greatly blessed in return myself God is wonderful....

Yes I have done this before a couple of times and one was a child He was a bit of money Short and I felt sorry for him as he did not know what to put back so I helped him out lol He was very happy and said thank you

Beautiful gesture and I wish we would do more of the same!

that is a wonderful idea Nikki. Thankyou I will remember that.

Wow! Now, this is an old quote. You don't here it much sadly. Mainly, because no one does this anymore. I wish people would. I have done such things for nice people I meet... Well, as nice as they come I guess. Another thing that has slowly left us with time. O well, I am really glad to here there are some good people left in the world :)

Now that's rarely heard of, no? You always hear about KARMA though. When you do good things, good things happen to you. This is like the other way around, right? Having said that, your story heart warming. Keep up doing good things to people.

Yah...when I was staying in Melbourne, someone passed me his bed (free) coz he has graduated and was leaving. I payed it forward by passing the bed to another student(free) when it's time for me to leave. On top of that, I sold my bookshelf, computer table, 2 portable heaters, 1 color printer, CD racks to the same person for A$100. The rest of the stuffs like laundry basket, Tefal kettle, cutlery sets...etc are free gifts.
