1/21 This week the G-Star GSA is promoting No Name-Calling Week. Today, they would
like you to think about how often you insult people. How do you think it makes
them feel and how do you feel when it happen to you? Today’s challenge is to
refrain from name-calling. In the words of Richard Simmons, “Everyone in this
world is somehow connected. So why not just be nice to everybody.”
-
1/22 Today is Day 2 of No Name-Calling Week. Yesterday, the G.S.A challenged you to
avoid insults and insensitive comments. Hopefully you were successful. Today’s
challenge is to pay a compliment to someone you don’t know. Have fun with it!
In the words of the 14th Dalai Lama: “Be kind whenever possible. It
is always possible.”
-
1/23 Today is Day 3 of No Name-Calling Week. Yesterday, we challenged you to
compliment a stranger. Did you give it a try? How did it feel? The challenge
today is to commit a random act of kindness. For example, hold the door open
for someone, don’t block traffic in the hallway or help someone if they drop
their books. In the words of Aesop: “No act of kindness, no matter how small,
is ever wasted.”
- 1/24 Today is the final day of No Name-Calling Week. The G.S.A. hopes this event has
made you more aware of the things you say and the impact they have on others.
Our final challenge to you is to carry on being kind to yourself and those
around you. Remember, in the words of Jesse Jackson, “Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping them up.”
