thinking, and do something no one else
is doing.
4. Looking Back :

smile.

I am blind by birth. When I was 8 years old, I
wanted to play baseball. I asked my
father- "Dad, can I play baseball?" He said
"You'll never know until you try." When
I was a teenager, I asked him, - "Dad Can I
become a surgeon?". He replied "Son,
you'll never know until you try." Today I am a
Surgeon, just because I tried!
6. GOODNESS & GRATITUDE :
Today, after a 72 hour shift at the fire station,
a woman ran up to me at the
grocery store and gave me a hug. When I

recognize her. She let go with tears of joy in
her eyes and the most sincere smile
and said, “On 9-11-2001, you carried me out
of the World Trade Center.”

a car, I sat on the side of the road

died, he licked the tears off my face.
8. A DOOR CLOSES TO OPEN ANOTHER :
Today at 7AM, I woke up feeling ill, but
decided I needed the money, so I went
into work. At 3PM I got laid off. On my drive
home I got a flat tire. When I went
into the trunk for the spare, it was flat too. A
man in a BMW pulled over, gave me
a ride, we chatted, and then he offered me a
job. I start tomorrow.
9. LOOKING BACK :
Today, as my father, three brothers, and two
sisters stood around my mother’s
hospital bed, my mother uttered her last
coherent words before she died. She
simply said, “I feel so loved right now. We
should have gotten together like this
more often.”
10. AFFECTION :

bed. About 5 seconds after he passed, I
realized it was the first time I had given
him a kiss since I was a little boy.
11. INNOCENCE :
Today, in the cutest voice, my 8-year-old
daughter asked me to start recycling. I
chuckled and asked, “Why?” She replied, “So
you can help me save the planet.” I
chuckled again and asked, “And why do you
want to save the planet?” “Because
that’s where I keep all my stuff,” she said.
12. JOY :

cancer patient laughing hysterically
at her 2-year-old daughter’s antics, I suddenly

complaining about my life and start
celebrating it again.
13. KINDNESS :
Today, a boy in a wheelchair saw me
desperately struggling on crutches with my

and books for me. He helped me all
the way across campus to my class and as he
was leaving he said, “I hope you
feel better soon.”.
14. SHARING :
Today, I was traveling in Kenya and I met a
refugee from Zimbabwe. He said he
hadn’t eaten anything in over 3 days and
looked extremely skinny and unhealthy.

sandwich he was eating. The first
thing the man said was, “We can share it.”
