Today, I’ll tell you a story about a kind homeless man. In 2013, there was a homeless man named Glenn. He lived inside a shopping center in Boston, USA. One day, while walking, he found a backpack left unattended on a chair. At the time, he had no home and no money to live on. No one was near the backpack, so he opened it. What was inside? There was $42,000 in cash, a check, and a passport. For a penniless homeless man, this was like a windfall from the sky. Wow, what a fortune.
For a homeless person, this was no small amount, right? Being kindhearted, he waited for the bag’s owner. When no one came for the bag after a long time, he turned it in to the police. The police investigated and quickly found the owner of the items. Soon after, the news spread, and someone from another state was touched by it. This person launched a crowdfunding campaign to support the homeless man. What was the result? So many people were moved by the homeless man’s kindness that $150,000 was raised in just three weeks.
Isn’t that interesting? Earlier, he found over $40,000, but he didn’t keep it; he returned it. The owner did not give him anything for his good deed, but Glenn’s story inspired people to raise funds for him voluntarily. Thinking, “How can such a good person be homeless,” kind people donated over $150,000 in just three weeks — including small donations of $200 or $1,000. He also received clothes, blankets, and daily necessities. After that, his life likely changed completely.
Furthermore, the Boston Police Department awarded him a special commendation. He became a well-known kindhearted homeless man. From that moment, he escaped poverty and found a job he loved. Not all homeless people possess such noble character. He was extremely poor, barely getting by. For most people who find a large sum of money, it would be hard to turn it in. Yet, he received many awards and much support from the public.
I believe a kindhearted boss would definitely hire him to work at their company. Why? The bottom line is: If you let him watch the warehouse, you surely know he won’t steal. Because I pay him a fair wage and treat him well, right? You know how many people steal from their workplace. So Glenn truly had a noble character, and his good deeds deserved to be rewarded. Since then, his life has been remarkable. Everything has gone smoothly for him. I believe he now owns his own home. He even found a suitable partner to marry. He has a good job as well.
Isn’t that great? This is what we call “good deeds rewarded in this life.”
(Kindness and virtue will ultimately be rewarded.)
