Being good will not only bring you great personal satisfaction, but it will also make you look like a role model citizen in the eyes of other people. And let's face it—the world can always use a few more role models! Being good can be achieved through these simple steps.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Respect others at all times. Remember the golden rule!

  2. Step 2

    Refrain from getting angry at bad drivers. Instead, let a bad driver pass you or get out of their way, if possible. Road rage is not the way to go when you are being good.

  3. Step 3

    Give to charity, if possible.

  4. Step 4

    Volunteer at a food kitchen or give your time to help others, if you cannot donate money to a charity. Giving your time to help someone else is just as precious and valuable as giving money.

  5. Step 5

    Help a person in need. If you see someone off to the side of the road who has a flat tire or a child who is lost and cannot find his or her parents, do not hesitate to offer a helping hand.

  6. Step 6

    Recycle when possible. Do not forget to be good to Mother Earth.

  7. Step 7

    Behave in a courteous and polite manner. If you brighten someone's day with your nice attitude, you'll be on your way to true goodness.

Tips & Warnings
  • Giving to charity is tax deductible. Make sure to keep records or receipts of your genorosity so that you can submit them at tax time.
  • Avoid activities where amoral activities are taking place.
