Kindness in the Skies

"Lead the life that will make you kindly and friendly to everyone about you, and you will be surprised what a happy life you will lead."
~ Charles M. Schwab

On a recent flight, a very friendly pilot greeted us shortly after we boarded.  He asked us to make sure we complied with the crew members' instructions.  Then he asked us to "be nice to each other."  He said that we should say hello to the person sitting next to us, and that by being nice, we could make the flight more pleasant for everyone.  At first, passengers seemed a bit surprised by the pilot's message, but I am pretty sure there were more smiles -- and kindness -- than there would have been otherwise.
