Individuals Paying It Forward |
 |
| As
a native of Barrie, Ontario, Canada, I have had the priviledge to
come to know the Pay It Forward movement by its arrival in movie theatres
back in 2000. Since then, I have purchased Catherine Ryan Hyde's book,
and have been honoured to share the possibilities with others since.
I have
used it in the following ways;
1.. My fellow Canadians will appreciate how we've put it into action at our infamous Tim Horton's (Canada's own coffee and donut shop). While in the drive-thru lines we have purchased the customer's order who is situated next in line. As they drive up to pay for their coffee/donuts, they've already been paid for. We drive away watching their reaction wishing how it affected their day; priceless! 2.. As a model for increasing customer service by doing favours for our internal customers (employees), eventually flowing over to engage our external customers (those that drive the business), 3.. As a 5-minute presentation on the topic of our choice for a module during my Teaching and Training Adults Certificate course to make people aware of the magnitude at which our world could eventually become habitually generous. I would like to extend my greatest appreciation for having the opportunity to share this small addition to the movement and wonder how much enlightenment and inspiration could touch the planet if we committed to initiating the theory. Pretty soon, the human race would be continuously rejuvenating the model. Please know that in Canada, it's working. We're "Paying It Forward" in so many ways! Katie Kirk Barrie, Ontario |
