"Every person must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgment. Life's most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?" --Martin Luther King Jr.
Ten Thousand Dollar Bills
Wherever he goes, something unexpected happens. And almost everyone is smiling. That's because Kevin Shelton goes out to public places -- shopping malls, movie theatres, restaurants and beaches -- with 10,000 dollar bills strapped to his chest and gives them away, one dollar at a time ... to whoever wants it, no questions asked. People line up to get the dollar and almost everyone asks him, "Why are you doing this?" Shelton patiently responds: "I'm just trying to make people happy. Whatever people get from it, on any level, is good. Even if it's just feeling happy for a moment."
BE THE CHANGE
Giving is often harder than we imagine. Try to give away a dollar to an unassuming person.
