  Dot com. Welcome to the Daily Quote, the
• 0:06
  podcast designed to kick start your day in a positive way.
• 0:10
  I'm your host, Anna McGivern, and let's dive into today's
• 0:13
  quote from Mark Twain, who once said kindness is the language
• 0:18
  which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
• 0:24
  The deaf can hear it, and the blind can see it.
• 0:29
  Twain saying Kindness transcends the senses.
• 0:33
  It doesn't need eyes or ears to be understood.
• 0:37
  Think about what that means. Kindness communicates at a level
• 0:40
  deeper than words or appearance. You can say all the right
• 0:45
  things, but if there's no kindness behind them, people
• 0:48
  feel it. The words might be perfect, but
• 0:51
  something's missing. Or you can barely speak the same
• 0:55
  language as someone, but if you act with genuine kindness, they
• 1:01
  understand you perfectly. The words don't matter, the
• 1:05
  kindness translates. This is why kindness is the most
• 1:09
  powerful form of communication that we have.
• 1:12
  It bypasses everything that normally separates us.
• 1:15
  Different languages, kindness translates.
• 1:19
  Different cultures, kindness is universal.
• 1:23
  Different backgrounds. Kindness connects.
• 1:27
  You can't fake it. People sense kindness or the
• 1:31
  lack of it, regardless of what you say or how you look.
• 1:34
  A kind gesture to a stranger communicates more than 1000
• 1:38
  eloquent words without kindness behind them.
• 1:42
  And here's what Twain understood Kindness isn't just received
• 1:46
  through the senses. It's felt directly and
• 1:50
  immediately. That's why the deaf can hear it
• 1:53
  and the blind can see it, because kindness speaks to
• 1:56
  something deeper than hearing or sight.
• 1:59
  It speaks to our shared humanity.
• 2:02
  So here's the question. What are you communicating
• 2:05
  today? Are your words kind, but your
• 2:08
  actions cold? Are you speaking the universal
• 2:12
  language of kindness? Because you can speak kindness
• 2:15
  to anyone, anywhere, regardless of language or ability, and
• 2:20
  they'll understand you perfectly.
• 2:22
  That's it for today. I'm Andy McGivern, signing out
• 2:25
  for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
