It was a cold evening. My daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora . She wasn’t even four, but she at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy, can we take him home?”
I don’t remember my . But I do remember a sudden feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her , whether it was flying or children playing. But now she was noticing and beggary.
A fewdays later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I signed us up. Nora was about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to myself to leave the house to fetch the food package. On my way to the school, I fought an urge (强烈愿望) to turn . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home. Why do this? , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She us right over.
The building was in a bad state. Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed. walking inside, I saw that the department belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged. I walked home .
Professionals call such a(n) “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities and I’ve come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I often serve meals to needy people and 54 clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has benefited more?

Have you ever wondered how to work out who your true friends really are? Here are a few tips for you to exactly who your true friends are.
First, it’s very difficult, especially you’re in a large group of friends where you have a very different range of . Some of them may be goof-offs or clowns, some of them may be very and intense, and some of them may just be the run of the mill(普通的) friends. However, in your life, when you’re looking for a friend, you want the friend that’s really going to be there for you when you need him or her and some positive information and positive attention.
So, I guess a good rule of thumb(单凭经验的方法) when you’re looking for a true friend, or who your true friends are, is to find the ones that really you when the going gets rough. That is, when you’re in a pot, they’re really there for you, being supportive, listening and trying to help you for yourself what you might want to do. A true friend will also you for who you are and not try to make you into something else that’s different. For , if you have a bat habit, they are going to accept you with that bad habit, the rest of the habits, instead of just ridiculing you about it, at you about it, or putting you down. We all have our shortcomings, and a true friend is one who accepting of you, no matter what your are.
It is very hard to the true friends, especially from a large group of friends, as the personalities began to mesh(匹配) over time. So, its you to be very aware, watch your friends, and look back at who’s really been there for you in your difficult situations.

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked at me and said “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. several seconds all I could do was to stand there and down at him. My first thought was he must need while doing his homework he was trying to prepare me for some . Finally, I asked, “What was that all about?” “ .” He said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an . ”
The next day I his teacher at my office to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had responded . “ Basically , most of the fathers had the same reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. The point is,” the teacher explained, “feeling is an important part of . It’s something all human beings . What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too that we don’t express those feelings. A boy should be able to tell his dad that he loves him. ” The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how difficult it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say. When my son came to me , I held on to him for an extra second. And just he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you. ”
I didn’t know if saying that would make of us healthier, but we did feel pretty . Maybe time when one of my children says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole to think of the right answer.

Years ago, I worked at the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was _that they could, at any time, break free, strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the for this.
He said, “When they were very young we used the size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can hold them, so they never try.”

That was when my son was 6 years old. My son is now 22 but whenever I look at him even as a grown man, I remember the small child with .
Our cat was to give birth. And like all young children, my son was very interested in the birth of the babies. During the following week, he never stopped me for a chance to witness it. At last, I agreed. I answered all his questions and prepared him the best he might not be shocked or frightened.
That when my son arrived home, one baby cat had been born. He was so at what he saw that he would put his hand on the mother cat’s stomach and feel the other babies . When the mother cat began to very loudly, it was clear that the second baby was on its way. My son but never said a word. Then he asked me, “Mum, why does she cry so loudly when the baby comes?” I that it was not a hurtful pain but a pain of great pleasure the mother.
When the of the third baby was coming by the crying of the mother cat, my son hugged (拥抱) me with tears his face, saying, “Mum, I’m sorry for the I brought you to have me.” My heart almost stopped. With a(n) choice of words, I told him that his birth has brought me but smiles, and that I would like to it 100 times.
Now my son is a grown man, but he always that night, for it was on that night that he finally what the word “love” meant.
