We could all say that we have bad days as we go through life, but what does it take to have a really good day?
I remember a day recently when I had to go to the 1 for special tests because I wasn feeling well atnd my
doctor sent me to a specialist to try and find the cause of my illness.
As I 2 to the hospital, I was feeling sad and certainly wasn t on topAosf mI gyogt at omteh.e hospital,
I began my 3 for a parking lot. I finally found one not too far from the entrance to the hospital.
As I got out and brought my change out of my pocket, I noticed a man looking a little 4 standing in front
of a parking meter( 停车计时收费 )two cars away. He seemed to be searching his pockets for what I supposed
were 5 for the meter. Although I 6 didn t feel that greaItt,hought that I should at least go over to him
and find out if I could 7 him. As I stood beside him, he turned to me looking worried. I asked him if he had a
problem I could help with. He said that he had no coins at all because he was only thinking about visiting his sick
wife when he left his house.
I reached into my pocket and 8 out two dollars and gave it to him without saying a word. And, without
waiting for a reply, I turned on my h eel and said to him as I was walking away: Have a good day.
The funny thing was that I felt a lot brighter, a small smile came to my face, and I seemed to walk just a little
quicker. I was walking away when he called out: Thank you so much. I didn Yout ek vneonw ,9 him to say
anything. He didn t have to say a word to mIet .was simply enough to know that I had helped someone else who
needed a little 10 .That s all it took to bring a smile to my face as I went on toward completing my own
business. You know, it doesn t take much to help someone else.
