Be the change you wish to see in the world

"This man had been homeless for 5 years. Everyone would just pass him by and look at him in disgrace.

I saw him and then sat beside him. We starting talking. I then realized he didn't know who I was.

I had asked him how he became homeless to hear his story.

His family died in a car accident and he was the only survivor.
His medical bills ruined his savings and lifestyle.

He later became bankrupt and moved to an abandoned house.

He had no one.

Once I heard his story, tears started to roll down my face. So, I knew I had to do something.

I got up and handed him some money. Then, I let him stay in one of my houses in California while he went to college.

He graduated top of his class and became a doctor.

Now, he saves people's lives. If I had not stopped, who knows where he would be right now. I've never really told anyone about this.

I just feel good knowing I did something good in this world.

Be the change you wish to see in the world."
