Have you ever paid it forward?

Question

I shed a tear.

Answer 1

Yes, I have paid it forward many times.  I have shed a tear while paying it forward - as well as having the most indescribable feeling while paying it forward.  It is such a simple and brilliant concept.  In my humble opinion it is one of the greatest things we can do as human beings!  So please pay it forward!!!

(And yes, I shed many a tear during the movie.)

Answer 2

Positive or Negative...I think everyone does!  

For me, it's second nature...55 years old and I still practice what I learned in Kindergarten...share, share alike.

Answer 3

Unfortunately no, but I plan to in the future...

I'm 15 and I will pay it forward... One of my life's goals...

*Wipes tear off face*

Answer 4

I've never seen the movie, but I do indeed pay it forward....but I am aware of the concept........although I call it "exchanging positive energy & simply doing thing on a completely unconditional level (IE) giving either of myself of material things with No expectation of a return.

That's the way I was raised, and it is the reason I choose the field of Mental Health as a career, helping the poor, the homeless, and the mentally ill is actually more of a life style choice for me than a career.

Answer 5

Answer 8

I watched the film but never have done yet

Answer 9

Many times and in many ways. I still do whenever I can. I never forget the help others gave me or the fact others appreciate a helping hand.  : )

Answer 10

Yes, I have.

Answer 11

Yes, that's vital to keeping it going.

Answer 12

Plenty of times. Someone is always worse of than yourself and needs help. When I get help I am grateful and I like to have others feel that sense of relief themselves that someone "does" care.

Paying it forward doesn't always have to be helping someone with money. It can be a kind gesture, a compliment, helping them with opening a door if their hands are full, sticking up for them if they are being picked on, and the list goes on.

Answer 13

yes. many time, I think we were created to do so, don't you?

Answer 14

I have not watched the film, but I try to live by the principle.

Answer 15

Yes, many times. There was a time in my life when I depended on the kindness of strangers to survive. So, now that I'm able, I give back at every opportunity.
