DP Daily Prompt: Nice Is as Nice Does
To me it was the nicest thing I’ve ever done. To others it might not be the case. Still I thought I did something nice back when I was studying in the university.
We were three female students in our class, rest of them were male. Two hundred fifty were male and only three of us were female. I thought if I could help my two female classmates complete the assignment given to us, it would be the nicest thing I could do for them.
My classmates were having trouble with the assignment. They didn’t know how to do it. Being a nice person like I was, I let them look at mine. Was I thinking they’d copy my work word for word, no I didn’t? That’s exactly what they did!
We handed in our assignment. The Prof. read our assignment and then without missing a beat he barked, “Who copied whom?”
I thought it was the nicest thing I ever did. The Prof.’s looks clearly indicated it wasn’t the nicest thing. So I leave it up to my readers to make the final decision!

Thank you for reading my post.
sometimes the intend of a kindness can be misread, you intended to be kind, let that be all that matters to you – blessings!
Thank you Claudia, I did not want them to copy, I thought it might help them with the assignment.
They took advantage never bothered to write their own.
I like your comment,thank you Claudia.
was my kindness questionable? There was no gain for me.

Dear Ranu,
Thank you for this. There are people who indeed will copy the works of others.
All good wishes,
robert
My prof knew who did the work. he was angry because I let them copy.
As long as you did it for the right reasons in your heart of hearts, that’s all that matters. Good story! 🙂
I didn’t really want them to copy my work.My reason to show them was to give them
the idea how to do the assignment. But they copied it instead.
Thank you areed.

This time, I followed the link to the DP blog, and I found it to be a very interesting concept. Thank you for that too 🙂
I am happy to know you found it. My brother once showed me a book,on the cover it said, “Seek and you shall find.”
I was only in the elementary grade. He wanted to find out if I understood the meaning. I remember I said, “Look for it and you’ll
find it.” Of course I replied in Bengali. He looked at me and smiled.
