Paying It Forward With Kindness: A Social Experiment
New Yorkers Prove that they can be generous through an innovative anonymously funded experiment.
Over seventeen years ago, Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osment starred in the drama-romance “Pay It Forward,” which commercialized the notion that people have the capacity to do good for others. “Paying it forward” is something of a chain reaction, based on the idea that kindness and generosity are socially contagious occurrences. Doing good for the sake of another person can result in a domino effect, and suddenly, this pay-it-forward phenomenon has the potential to take place on a grand scale.

Its amazing to think that something as simple as doing kind things for others can have such a large impact on lives. What are you waiting for! Take the challenge and do something kind for you fellow man today. Please take the time to read about the official experiment below and have a fantastic sunday everyone!
wow, that amazing. I remember the movie which was very moving. I did not know what happened with starbucks. I can't believe how long it lasted, 378 customers paid for others coffees. I know that is not necessarily curing a disease or paying a welfare family's child's college tuition but it is very nice to hear that people thought of others and took the time and some money to "pay it forward". I do some of these things on occasion for strangers but not nearly enough. Could you even imagine if everyone did this all the time (kind acts for others, unprovoked) what kind of world we would live in, imagine. Thank you for sharing this post.
A lot of times people tend to forget that even the smallest of gestures can have large impacts on the lives of others.
