&quot;How many times a day, a week, a month, do we have the opportunity to be great through simple acts of kindness? In your Dash, never underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, or an honest compliment. All have the potential to turn a life around.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
