Hard work pays off. A convenience store owner in Staten Island awards students based on grades. Children bring in their report cards and he gives them items from his store for working hard in their classes.
Mariah, a fourth grader, can barely look over the counter but she shows the store owner her report card and her Student of the Month certificate. The generous store owner allows her to choose items from the store. When Mariah brings several things to the counter he asks, “Is that all you want?”
The grading system is 1=Rarely,2=Sometimes,3=Usually, 4=Always. If Mariah achieves mostly fours, she will receive $100.00 from. The grading systems are different today, but this store owner gets an A+ and way to go Mariah!!!
🇺🇸 WARREN BUFFETT: "I can end the U.S. deficit problem in 5 minutes."
“You just pass a law that says that anytime there’s a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.”
On August 8, 1982, a line drive foul ball hit a four year old boy in the head at Fenway Park. Jim Rice, realizing it would take EMTs too long to arrive and cut through the crowd, sprang from the dugout and scooped up the boy...
He laid the boy gently on the dugout floor, where the Red Sox medical team began to treat him.
When the boy arrived at the hospital thirty minutes later, doctors said, without a doubt, that Jim's prompt actions saved the boy's life.
Jim returned to the game in a blood-stained uniform.
A true badge of courage.
After visiting the boy in the hospital, and realizing the family was of modest means, he stopped by the business office and instructed that the bill be sent to him.
This is what a real sports hero looks like.
"Love is patient. Love is kind."
Thank you Jim Rice for who you are and for all you do.
