Aloha from Hawaii 2010

Hawaii's best-known export is not sugar, pineapples, or Kona coffee, but a word: aloha. It is much more than a greeting; on the islands, it is a way of life.   One islander says aloha means "Hello, goodbye, love, compassion, welcome, good wishes. It means belonging to others with a common humanity. It's defined better as a feeling in the heart than by words."

According to Answers.com, you can get the aloha feeling by

  • Respect your elders and children.
  • Leave places better than you find them.
  • Hold the door. Hold the elevator.
  • Plant something.
  • Drive with courtesy. Let others in.
  • Attend an event of another culture.
  • Return your shopping cart.
  • Get out and enjoy nature.
  • Pick up litter.
  • Share with your neighbors.
  • Create smiles.
