Geographers and scientists may tell us differently, but throughout the centuries, famous figures from all walks of life have reminded us of our ability to help it go round through kindness. Royalty, movie stars, thinkers and philanthropists are just a few of the people whose inspirational words have encouraged us to be good to one other. Here at Thorntons, we like to spread a little kindness and good cheer amongst our chocolate lovers, especially at this time of year. So, along with our mighty fine chocolate, here are a few quotes on kindness to keep your chin up on those less-than-perfect days at the office! Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you. (Diana, Princess of Wales, 1961–1997) No one will ever dispute the kindness of the late Princess of Wales. Lady Di reached out to the sick and underprivileged. These instructions came from royalty, so let’s follow them! How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make a contribution toward introducing justice straightaway. And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness! (Anne Frank, 1929–1945) These words belong to the keeper of perhaps the world’s most famous diary (which she called ‘Kitty’ and regarded as her best friend). Anne Frank wanted to become a journalist and later a famous writer when the Second World War was over. Despite the terror and hatred she faced, this inspiring teenager never lost faith. A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money. (John Ruskin 1819–1900) If you wish you had more in your wallet or purse, don’t despair. Instead, take heart from the words above of the English art critic, social thinker and philanthropist John Ruskin. Many regard Ruskin as ‘the greatest Victorian’ – and the man even gave away his inheritance! We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. (Charlie Chaplin, 1889–1977, in ‘The Great Dictator’) These epic words on kindness were delivered on the silver screen by London-born movie genius Charlie Chaplin. While the world was in turmoil, in the movie ‘The Great Dictator’ Chaplin reminded audiences of the human capacity to do good and urged them to act on it. You know, gentlemen, that I do not owe any personal income tax. But nevertheless, I send a small check, now and then, to the Internal Revenue Service out of the kindness of my heart. (David Rockefeller)</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Make You Smile]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/MakeYouSmile/quotes-to-make-someone-smile</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/MakeYouSmile/quotes-to-make-someone-smile</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 28 May 2025 09:46:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Co-op op Bank UK</title> <description>(this message will appear only once) To give you the best possible experience, this site uses cookies and by continuing to use the site you agree that we can save them on your device.

Magee, Jr., a plastic surgeon, and his wife, Kathleen (Kathy), a nurse and clinical social worker, traveled to the Philippines with a group of medical volunteers to repair children's cleft lips and cleft palates. What they found was overwhelming. "People pushed their babies at us." recalls Kathy. "They tugged at our sleeves with tears in their eyes and begged us to help their children." In Naga City, approximately 300 families arrived hoping their children would receive surgery, but the team could only treat 40 children. As they prepared to leave, the Magees made a promise they would return to help more children. They began soliciting donations of surgical equipment and supplies from manufacturers, threw themselves into grassroots fundraising and assembled a volunteer team of 18 doctors, nurses and technicians for their own medical mission to the Philippines. They helped approximately 100 more patients, but again, hundreds still waited. They saw the need and Operation Smile was born. Today, Operation Smile is an international medical charity with a presence in more than 60 countries, whose global network of thousands of credentialed medical volunteers from over 80 countries is committed to helping improve the health and lives of children. For more than 30 years we've worked with local medical professionals, governments, hospitals and other NGOs to deliver the safest care to each of our patients and have established care centers wherever possible to give children ongoing medical treatment. Operation Smile continues to deliver training and education for local medical professionals so they can provide care within their own communities and share their expertise. To date, we have provided more than 220, 000 free surgeries for children born with cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities. "THE NEED IS GREAT ... we have the courage to take on that challenge. There are not enough human beings to take care of the need ... We have to continue to do more, we have to challenge ourselves to do more.” -Dr. Bill Magee, Operation Smile</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Beach Boys]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/BeachBoys/operation-smileorg</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/BeachBoys/operation-smileorg</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 29 Mar 2025 10:05:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Smile movie</title> <description>Smile Is a 1975 satirical comedy-drama film directed by Michael Ritchie with a screenplay by Jerry Belson about a beauty pageant in Santa Rosa, California.

It stars Bruce Dern and Barbara Feldon and introduced a number of young actresses who later went on to larger roles, such as Melanie Griffith. The film satirizes small-town America and its peculiarities, hypocrisies and artifice within and around the pageant. The film was subsequently adapted into a 1986 Broadway musical with songs by Marvin Hamlisch and Howard Ashman. Plot Synopsis [edit] In separate subplots, the film focuses on Andy's unhappiness, as he is about to be inducted into a fraternal society, which requires a humiliating ritual, Little Bob (Shea), Big Bob's son, who conspires with his friends to photograph the contestants in various states of undress, and the activities of the contestants themselves. Wilson Shears (Lewis), the pageant producer, clashes with a choreographer brought in from Hollywood, Tommy French (Kidd), who is cynical and blunt. Andy refuses to go along with the induction ceremony, which involves kissing the behind of a dead chicken. He shoots his wife, who is wounded, and is jailed. But she refuses to press charges and he is released, and Big Bob tries to convince him to not move from town. The show becomes more expensive than was anticipated, and Shears pressures French to remove a ramp, because it is taking up seating. This results in an injury to a contestant, and French agrees to reinstate the ramp and to make up the difference out of his fee.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Smile Train]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileTrain/smile-movie</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileTrain/smile-movie</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 09 Mar 2025 10:02:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Operation</title> <description>As a blogger, I have been a failure in the last six months.

I barely have enough time to tweet, let alone sit down for these extensively researched, tightly edited, and deeply insightful missives that characterize my blog. I tell you, 1005 words on finding love through optimization doesn’t just happen! I have my excuses, of course. As the fabulous PHD Comics points out, most of us academics seem somewhat overbooked, despite the freedom to set much of our schedule. I am not alone in being congenitally unable to turn down “opportunities” when they come by. “Help hire a Norwegian professor?” Sounds fun! “Be the external examiner for a French habilitation degree?” I am sure I’ll learn a lot! “Referee another paper?” How long can that take? “Fly to Australia for a few days to do a research center review?” Count me in! And that was just four weeks in February. All this is in addition to my day job that includes a more-than-healthy dose of academic administration. Between doing my part to run a top business school and to move along in research, not to mention family time, including picking up the leavings of a hundred pound Bernese Mountain Dog (the “Mountain” in the name comes from said leavings) and entertaining a truly remarkable nine-year-old son, my time is pretty well booked up. And then something new comes along. For me, this newness is something I had a hand in putting together: the Tepper School’s new FlexMBA program. This program offers our flagship MBA program in a hybrid online/onsite structure. Every seven weeks or so, students in the program gather at one of CMU’s campuses (we have them in Pittsburgh, Silicon Valley, and New York, we have not yet used our Qatar campus) and spend a couple days intensively starting their new courses. This is followed by six weeks of mixed synchronous and asynchronous course material. Asynchronous material is stuff the students can do in their own time: videos, readings, assignments, and so on. The synchronous lesson is a bit more than an hour in a group, meeting via a group video conference, going over any issues in the material and working on case studies, sample problems, and so on. The course ends with exams or other evaluations back on campus before starting the next courses. Our commitment is to offer the same program as our full-time residential MBA and our part-time in-Pittsburgh MBA. So this means, the same courses, faculty, learning objectives, and evaluations that our local students take. We started this program last September with 29 students, and so far it has gone great. The students are highly motivated, smart, hard-working, and engaged. And the faculty have been amazing: they have put in tons of work to adapt their courses to this new structure. Fortunately, we have some top-notch staff to keep things working. Unlike some other MBA programs, we have not partnered with any outside firm on this. If we are going to offer our degree, we want it to be our degree.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Smile Train]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileTrain/operation</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileTrain/operation</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 17 Feb 2025 10:01:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Operation Smile Virginia Beach</title> <description>When they invited me for the final interview, they made it clear that it would be a whole day affair.

A few days before the interview, I asked for an agenda/schedule and was told "All I will share is that interviews will last from 8:30 am to at least 9:00 pm, and you will have individual interviews as well as time to mingle with fellow candidates during the day." When I arrived at the interview, I was given the schedule for the day, which included five individual interviews and said that from 5 pm onwards, there would be a group activity. At 5, they simply announced that our group activity was to shop for and prepare a meal for 40 with entertainment, to be served at 7:30 at the director's house. We were given a budget of $350 and information about food allergies in the group. No other information was given (we even had to figure out the director's address) and they didn't give any sort of reason/context. It wasn't clear if it was supposed to be an evaluation of our skills, but the senior staff spent the majority of the night drinking and dancing. The evening didn't end till 10:30 pm, when it moved to a local bar. In the comment section of the post, it was revealed that the organization in question was Operation Smile, headquartered in Virginia Beach, VA. And the salary of the job that all of these people were competing for? Less than $25, 000 per year. To recap: after several initial interview stages, 20 candidates for an entry-level job traveled at their own expense to Virginia Beach, VA, where they endured a full day of five separate interviews, and then—to their surprise!—were ordered to shop for food, plan a menu, and cook a meal for the same people that were interviewing them. All of this for the prospect of maybe getting a job that pays an extremely low salary. I would just stress that even on the day of the interview no questions would be answered about what the 'group activity' was or even how many positions they had available to fill. The group activity was not strictly mandatory (at least, I don't think it was - evidence itself of how little information was provided) but our attendance was "encouraged". As I mentioned in the post, we were not told whether or not this activity would impact their hiring decisions. Drinking was optional but I think many felt the pressure to drink to conform to social norms. I left after the event at [Operation Smile founder] Bill Magee's private residence (with his entire family in attendance) ended but many went out with the staff to the bars. This was explicitly optional but, again, I know of at least one person who felt compelled to go for fear of being 'marked down' by the senior staff...</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Beach Boys]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/BeachBoys/operation-smile-virginia-beach</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/BeachBoys/operation-smile-virginia-beach</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 28 Jan 2025 09:53:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Smile for you</title> <description>WEDNESDAY, June 10, 2015 (HealthDay News) — A genuine smile may help you form a new friendship or romantic partnership, a new study suggests.

That’s because people seem to respond much better to positive emotions when forming new personal bonds than to negative vibes such as sadness, anger or contempt, according to the researchers. However, don’t try to fake a smile to win someone over, because people can easily identify whether a smile is sincere. In one experiment, the researchers found that dating couples could accurately track their partners’ positive emotions. A second experiment found that participants tended to feel closer to strangers who displayed positive emotions, and were drawn to positive feelings almost instinctively. The investigators also found that people display positive emotions with a so-called Duchenne smile, which involves simultaneous movement of two facial muscles around the eyes and cheeks and primarily occurs when people are sincere and happy. Others see this type of smile as sincere and it helps with social bonding. People are highly aware of this type of smile and are good at “reading” a fake smile, ” according to study leader Belinda Campos of the University of California, Irvine. The study was published recently in the journal Motivation and Emotion . “Our findings provide new evidence of the significance of positive emotions in social settings and highlight the role that positive emotions display in the development of new social connections. People are highly attuned to the positive emotions of others and can be more attuned to others’ positive emotions than negative emotions, ” Campos said in a journal news release.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Make You Smile]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/MakeYouSmile/smile-for-you</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/MakeYouSmile/smile-for-you</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 08 Jan 2025 09:32:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Your beautiful Smile Quotes</title> <description>“Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh The other day, while I was getting cash from an ATM, I smiled at an adorable toddler standing with her father at the machine next to me.

She had this huge grin on her face, and she actually waved at me from two feet away, so I couldn’t help but smile in return. Just then, she pulled on her father’s leg and giggled the words, “Why does everyone like me?” He responded, “Because you’re a beautiful little girl!” It was a simple, heartwarming moment, because I could tell from her bashful yet proud expression that she internalized and believed this, as I wish all children could. I wondered if strangers frequently smiled at her because of her cheery cherubic face, leading her to conclude that everyone likes her. And I hoped she’d hold onto that simple conclusion forever, so she’d never doubt her inner light, and as a consequence, shine it often. For many kids, confidence and joy come so easily. They have an innocence about them—a sense of possibility and wonder. They don’t dwell on what happened yesterday. They don’t obsess over what’s coming tomorrow and worry that they can’t handle it. And they haven’t yet learned to question themselves, not like we do as adults. I wonder what it would look like to recapture that self-belief and joy. Kids make it look so simple. Maybe that’s the point. Maybe we could feel that same sense of self-assurance and presence if we stopped burying ourselves under the layers of everything that’s happened, and chose instead to simply be in the moment. Maybe we could believe in ourselves more fully if we also looked for signs to confirm our worth and beauty; if we chose to recognize people smiling at us, believing in us, confiding in us, depending on us. Maybe we just need to step in where our parents may or may not have left off, and remind us ourselves as often as possible that we are beautiful—and the best way to show it is to smile.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Smile Quotes]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileQuotes/your-beautiful-smile-quotes</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileQuotes/your-beautiful-smile-quotes</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Dec 2024 09:31:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How to Get a Perfect Smile?</title> <description>Have a sneaking suspicion people aren’t looking you in the eye when they talk to you?

You may be right–their gazes could be pointed downward. At your teeth. In recent years, Americans have become more focused on the appearance of their teeth, and it is less common to see someone’s “natural” ivories. Consumers, perhaps inspired by sparkling celebrity smiles in magazines and on television, have become less tolerant of chipped choppers, wayward bicuspids and seemingly any degree of dental discoloration. Dentists have also become savvier about selling their cosmetic services–they are no longer doctors with drills and a six-month bounty on your mouth, but consultants who can help you improve your smile. As a result, the number of cosmetic dental procedures requested in the U.S. has grown by about 12% over the last five years, according to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry in Madison, Wis. “Spas” devoted to teeth whitening have opened across the country. And at-home whitening products, which include Colgate-Palmolive‘s Simply White and Procter & Gamble ‘s Crest Whitestrips, have become a $300-million-plus market, the AACD estimates. Of course, perfect teeth, like flawless gems, can come at very hefty prices. Depending on how major a change a person seeks in a smile (and the condition the teeth are in to begin with), professional help can cost anywhere from around $300 for basic brightening to as much as $100, 000 for a full overhaul of the mouth and some plastic surgery. Fortunately, such an undertaking is rarely necessary, and rarely suggested. Since the 1990s, when the procedure started booming, teeth bleaching has been the most common and most requested cosmetic dental procedure. It also happens to be one of the cheapest and easiest ways to upgrade a smile, involving only a quick trip to the dentist or a swipe of a brush each night. As a beneficial side effect, it has also encouraged people to make more dental visits. “It increases the patient’s awareness of what is happening in their own mouths, ” says Dr. Marty Zase, president of the AACD and a practicing dentist at Colchester Dental Group in Colchester, Conn. “It’s relatively inexpensive, and you get the biggest bang for your buck, because you’re treating all the teeth at once, whereas a crown or filling can get costly, because you treat each individual tooth.”</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Smile Train]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileTrain/how-to-get-a-perfect-smile</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileTrain/how-to-get-a-perfect-smile</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 29 Nov 2024 09:30:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> </channel></rss>If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
