some people say the world is what you make of it. I believe that if we can change the world for the people around us, the we will change the world. The little act's of kindness to the people around us may not seem like much or even have an effect but the more it happens the more it will change our world.We are presented everyday with an opportunity to help someone around us whether it be a stranger or your best friend or something as simple as returning their wallet or picking up something the dropped. It could also be going out of your way to help someone in need. My family and I found a wallet at christmas time with 700 dollars in it we went an hour out of our way to make sure the wallet was retured to the person. He cried when we showed up at his door and thanked us he offered a payment but we refused however we did allow him to give our son 5 dollars for christmas as a gift. What would you do? Or maybe you could just share an act of kindness from you.

The more we hear about honest cab drivers, like the one earlier this week in New York, the more it makes each of us in turn want to live with integrity. Another immigrant cabbie this week became a hero. In Seattle, Vinod Mago rushed back to the airport so he could return to its rightful owner, a wallet stuffed with almost $6,000 in cash. He, too, was rewarded with $100 (and presumably the inner fireworks that light in our chest when being kind to strangers)

Long time ago I found someone wallet. It was ID, credit cards and $100 in. I spend whole day, made many phone calls and finally was able to find this guy. He show up, was very mad, took his wallet and did not say thank you. .....(?) Look into my discussion about taxi driver: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/735114.aspx
