Idea of the Week
135.jpg“My brother and I were shopping at a department store one day. My mother had taken him home separately and had returned to get me. As we were walking towards the car, I saw a homeless man sitting outside the department store we were shopping at.

I told my mom to hold on for a minute. I walked towards the man, and handed him $20.00. I usually wouldn’t do this, but I knew that I had to this time. When I handed it to him, a tear ran down his eyes, as he said “God bless you!”

When I returned to the car my mom told me she was so proud. I asked her why and said that I felt that when people need help, and we have the urge to help, we need to just do it. She then told me that my brother, who she had taken home earlier, did the exact same thing!” — yggblue

The Most Vital Lessons for Starting Over

June 5, 2011

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. — Albert Einstein

Inspiration of the Day:
In his famous Lectures on Physics, Richard Feynman presented this interesting speculation: “If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generations of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?” Fascinated by Feynman’s question, Seed magazine posed a similar one to a number of leading thinkers. Their answers are shared here. http://www.dailygood.org/more.php?n=4597
