I use social media every day. I don't have a Twitter account, but not because I'm a dinosaur about it. I have enough of a platform here.

Every day, do something selfless for someone else that takes under five minutes. The essence of this thing you do should be that it makes a big difference to the person receiving the gift.

Over time, these random acts of kindness will really add up.
