Probably you've heard of this before or probably you didn't.

In a movie, in a book, in a play and maybe also the tv..we get an idea about it.

I just watched a movie called 'Pay it forward' and it's a great movie, despite that it was a romance movie but it was an inspiration to me and to many people.

So what is 'PAY IT FORWARD' mean ?

Wikipedia : The expression "pay it forward" is used to describe the concept of asking that a good turn be repaid by having it done to others instead. In contract law, typically there are two parties but there is the concept of third party beneficiaries. Pay it forward merely applies this contract law concept so that third party beneficiary be a stranger to the creditor. More specifically, the creditor offers the debtor the option of "paying" the debt forward by lending it to a third person instead of paying it back to the original creditor. Debt and payments can be monetary or by good deeds.

The movie and the novel

Wikipedia : In 2000, Catherine Ryan Hyde's novel Pay It Forward was published and adapted into a Warner Brothers film, Pay It Forward. In Ryan Hyde's book and movie it is described as an obligation to do three good deeds for others in repayment of a good deed that one receives. Such good deeds should be things that the other person cannot accomplish on their own. In this way, the need to help one another can spread exponentially through society, creating a social movement with the goal of making the world a better place.

How to PAY IT FORWARD?

Here are the 4 simple steps >> http://www.wikihow.com/Pay-It-Forward

And if you are a person who dislikes reading then here is a 2 mins video from the movie explaining it (AWESOME) >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvbgetKzrmA

So who is in? Who's gonna pay it forward?
I will. Will you? =]

Yeah, it's a very old movie. Was released almost 11 years ago. I just watched it yesterday after reading about the idea many times in different magazines.

I really liked it that until today..this concept is actually being followed and is much of a success!

I was checking the website for it and I can see a lot of progress happened there worldwide. :D
