And the final one -- 作者 and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four 年 old child whose 下一个 door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently 迷失 his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had 说 to the neighbor, the little boy said,
'Nothing, I just helped him cry'
