Be a Good Citizen.

Hello, and welcome to "How Can I Make It A better World?" All World One Happy Family.

On this site I record my thoughts on how I can make the world a better place to live in, for us, and for our future generations.

I dearly hope that you, too, will want to add your thoughts to this blog. You may do so by going into the comment box at the bottom of this page.

One simple way I can make our world better is, of course, by my becoming a good citizen of the country I live in.

I should obey the laws of the country - drive on the right hand side if that is the law of the land. Pay the taxes due, and commit no crime.

I should not drop litter in public places, ensure my carbon foot print is low, by acting on the suggestions put out by my government, such as recycle appropriately, and reuse shopping bags.

As a good citizen I will also respect the needs of my fellow citizens - not make noise in public places, and be kind and courteous to others.

At any stage of my waking hours I can decide to be a good or a bad citizen by my actions - the situations where I can be a good citizen are that many.

By choosing to be a good citizen, I will make my world a better place to live in.

Joke: A man was always bemoaning his ill luck. Every morning he had to climb the steps all the way up to the 20th floor where his office was. He would arrive at his desk, gasping for breath, and already tired at the beginning of the day.

In the evening, when he was never in a rush, he could just sail down to ground floor on in the lift.

Poor thing! Why could he not take the lift to his 20th floor office in the morning?
Because God had made him only four feet tall, and try, as he might, he could not reach up to the 20th floor button of the lift.


Thank you for reading this entry.

Wishing you all the best, Shree 1
