The Story of a Little Girl and the Value of Her Kindness
Author: Unknown
Howard Atwood Kelly (1858–1943) was a famous American gynaecologist who founded the Johns Hopkins Division of Gynaecologic Oncology at Johns Hopkins University in 1895.  Dr. Kelly was once on a walking trip through Northern Pennsylvania. He was tired on his way, and stopped by a farm house for a drink of water.  A little girl answered his knock at the door and instead of water, brought him a glass of fresh milk.
Years later, the same girl was admitted to his hospital with a rare disease. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day, he gave special attention to the case. After a long struggle, the girl was saved. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, and then wrote something on it, and the bill was sent to her room. When she looked at it, she read these words: "PAID IN FULL WITH ONE GLASS OF MILK. (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly."

Kindness is a virtue that every human is endowed with. It only needs to be expressed. It could be in any form, acts or words. That could give solace to the one in need. Perhaps, helps someone to stand up and move forward in life. Let it be expressed everyday at every given opportunity, at work as well as at home.

The Best for you always,
With love and regards,
Siva
