Never Underestimate the Power of One Person's Good

It makes me sad to see so many comments about how people are just not this way today anymore, willing to go out of the way to do what is right. I know several people who would go out of their way to do good and they live a much fuller life for it. I think the purpose of this campaign is to show that there are people who do the good and responsible thing and regardless of the lack of praise for the good deed or even that the person who receives the deed knows who did the deed or even appreciates it, doing the deed is what counts. My daughter when she was 4 years old when coming upon a vagrant begging for change in the fast food parking lot, reached into her pocket and gave him all of the change she had (which I think was about 35 cents). As we walked away I explained to her that the man probably had more money than we did and you just can’t trust people and that she should not give money to beggars who probably did not deserve it. She looked up at me with her big innocent eyes and said “But I still get the blessings”. I stopped in the parking lot and realized that I was teaching her that we should only do good to those that deserve it when the true test of selflessness was to do good to those that don’t deserve it. That lesson from my daughter changed my life. I started that day to try to do the right thing regardless of reward, or recognition, or whether someone deserved it. My life has been so much richer because of that lesson. Never underestimate the difference that one person can make. You may not see the result, but will be remarkable, nonetheless. I challenge you all to try it. You can’t change anyone’s actions but your own, but you can change yours and that will make all the difference in your life. Namaste.

We can agree to disagree

I have to say I disagree with you Bob Perks. I believe that the only unrealistic character in the film was the older women on the scooter. How is it that she always showed up when he needed help? The boy Lester could be realistic. It was clear that he didn’t have many friends. Therefore, he was more willing to do a nice thing for another kid to possibliy make a new friend. He also might’ve noticed a similarity in how the other kids treated Mandy and himself. This gave him an opportunity to make a new friend. There are good people out there with honest integrities so I think the video is very realistic.
