Kindness is a common language we all speak. It doesn’t cost anything, and means everything. And the sooner we start practising it, the better we get at it. Whether you are 7 or 77, you will appreciate words and gestures when conveyed with kindness. Cindy is a kindness ambassador at her school. At just 7 years of age, she is well known at her school for being the most caring, helpful, and kind student - an accolade she cherishes. She speaks English, French, Mandarin and Spanish. She also loves to sing; and recently won a gold prize at the KPU International Music Festival. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
