One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Istanbul ...
A boy approached me and tentatively asked me for the time in his school-learned english. When he got an answer from me, his reaction was - wow, this english stuff really works ! - he had the best grin on his face as he walked back to his mother.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have 5 Rules that I follow in life:
1) Respect Yourself
2) Respect Others
3) Respect Other People's Stuff
4) Use Your Powers for Good
5) It's not what you do, but WHY you do it, that matters.
===================================
It seems that most questions/problems can be helped along by checking in with this list.

The hardest one seems to be #4 - not because I think that doing good is difficult; but to stop a moment and see *where* you can do some good - sometimes the smallest (and most effective) moments to make a change are hard to recognize.
