These are a few of the lessons learned tonight from Paddington Bear and his Aunt Lucy.

If we are kind and polite, the world will be right.

Always keep a marmalade sandwich in your hat in case of emergency.

When you see good you should do, do it – not because you are getting paid or for how you will be paid back. Do it just because it is the right thing to do.

Be a positive part of someone else’s day.

All you need to do to brighten someone’s day is to add a bit of sugar – through a smile, a friendly hello, or a good deed.

If you look for the good in people, you will find it.

It sometimes takes a children’s movie to remind me of what I already know, but quickly forget in the hustle and bustle. Thank you, Paddington.
