do good.

here's a story for you.

i recently read of a guy,
who grew up in a very poor area,
bad conditions all round, day in, day out.

he went on to make someone of himself,
he worked hard to become a multi millionaire,
and he turned his life round for the better.

know what he did next?

he went back to his old neighbourhood,
bought over the whole land there,
and went on to demolish all the wooden homes,
only to replace it with modern housing
in a beautiful, new, housing development.

and he gave away all those nice homes
to all of the villagers who lived there,
plus to families who were kind to him in the past.

...for free.

and to top all THAT off,
he even made sure that the elderly got
good daily meals for free as well!

when asked why, he said he wanted to repay
the kindness of all those people, who have showed
him compassion, warmth and heart all those years.

and when the people there were asked about him,
they said his parents were also kind hearted,
and was proud to see he inherited that same warmth.

how about that?

now, for the rest of us, imagine what we would do
should we be granted that same kind of opportunity.
would we be as responsible and kind too?

you know what? i think we would!
