A Caring Heart: How Much Do You Care For People?

A Caring Heart: How Much Do You Care For People?

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much they care.

Did you ever realize that when you meet a person who cares, you know it instantly? You don’t have to spend six months with them until it finally dawns on you, “Wow, they really care.”

I had this instant recognition last spring when I visited the Charles J. Riley School 9 in Paterson, New Jersey. Within moments of entering the building, I knew I was in a caring, nurturing environment. I could feel it in the air.

My original assumption was supported when I walked into the main office and saw the Charles J. Riley School Motto:

• The schoolwork I am asking you to do is important.
• I know that you can do it.
• I won’t give up on you.

Now know that you might not be a teacher by profession, but I also know that in some respect, you are someone’s teacher. Whether you’re a manager, a mom, a dad, a relative, or a friend, you can show someone you care by:

• Caring enough to do important things with them or helping them with important things like their problems.
• Caring enough to believe in their abilities.
• Caring enough to stick by them through the tough times and not give up on them.

Right now think of three people who have made a significant positive impact on your life. I would guess that one thing these people have in common is that they really care for you.

Marian Wright Edelman once said, “You can change the world if you care enough.”

Remember…once people know how much you care, then they will care how much you know.
