When I worked in a large city, passing by someone homeless wasn’t an uncommon sight.
It seemed to me that I had to do something. As a single mom and newcomer to my field, I decided to up with a plan that fitted my limited . I began to set five to ten dollar bills each payday, and during the week, I pass them out to those I met on the street.
a dollar felt like a small amount, I realized how powerful it was. Those I were people just like me. Sometimes we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to more. I mean, more than money. I’ll never know how and if the dollars , but I know that the connections we made did.
One day after I had started this weekday practice, I enough money to buy myself a new winter coat. With my new coat bought, I realized that my old coat could be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to them from the cold. Meanwhile, a brilliant idea came into my mind. Why not pass on this opportunity for to others? So I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel taking my old coat, walking to the corner and offering it to someone in . Slightly surprised by what I requested of him, he smiled, “I will as soon as I get a .”
I cannot help feel that my experiences with kindness have many people and a growing number of people have followed my example to care for those who need help. In this way, I feel I’ve helped just those I passed by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am for the way it has touched mine.

The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. —— Thomas Macaulay
About thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nanette O’Neill gave a math to our class. When the papers were , she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about in exams. Perhaps that was Mrs. O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs. O’Neill asked questions, and she didn’t us, either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to copy these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for I can say: it was the most important single of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they seem to me the best yardstick (准绳) now because they give us a way to ourselves rather than others.
of us are asked to make decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called daily to make a great many personal decisions.Shouldthe wallet, in the street, be put into a pocket or to the policeman? Should the change received at the store be forgotten or ? Nobody will know exceptyou. But you have to live with yourself, and it is alwaysbetter to live with someone you respect.
