If these few ideas mentioned above are not enough for you, what about the brilliant Italian tradition of pending coffee? It’s one of the most touching expressions of being kind in the world. Suspended coffee (or caffè sospeso in Italian) is a cup of coffee (usually it comes espresso) paid for in advance as a voluntary act of charity. Actually, this tradition is more over that 100 years and roots in low-class Naples cafes, when visitors would pay for two (three or several) cups of coffee, but drinking only one. The waiter recorded the rest for poor people needing it. A cup of suspended coffee became a symbol of anonymous kindness. You can do good – you do it, well, it’s quite simple. This tradition soon spread from Italy to the other countries. One can easily see pending coffee label in Russia, Ukraine, Spain, Bulgaria, Argentina, the USA and many others. So, try to do you can and be awesome today! This world is worth trying!
