Three boys and three girls boarded the bus to Fort Lauderdale, dreaming of golden beaches as the gray cold of New York disappeared behind them. They noticed an old man, who sat in front of them, dressed in a plain, ill-fitting suit, never , and his dusty face his age.
He was in his seat like a stone, and the young people began to about him, trying to his life and his age. Deep into the night, outside Washington, one of the girls went up to him and introduced herself. “Want some wine?” He took the glass and drank.
Slowly and he told his story.

“Last week, knowing I would be , I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick and there's a big oak tree just as you come into town. I told her that if she would me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I'd and come home with her. If she didn't me, forget it, no handkerchief, and I'd go on through.”
“Wow,” the girl exclaimed. She told the others, and soon all of them put their faces against the window, waiting for the of Brunswick.
Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming , all except Vingo. Vingo sat there , looking at the oak tree.

Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your ; your words are lost in the howling wind.
On a afternoon, everything changed.
Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was .
“I’ll get the next car’s as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside, much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright lit up her face like a fire.
“You can’t their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.
“No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”
Completely puzzled, I charged her as , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his .
“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver him. He over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected, others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and their thanks.
It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days.

I learned all about taking responsibility from my mother’s tough love. My mom had a wonderful way of helping you up and realize that your life is going to be what you make it.
She had this circular way of you took responsibility for your decisions and the person you would . She would say,“ It' s your .” “What you want and what you get are sometimes two different things.” And then, “No one ever said life was fair.” And she would these comments together in such a way that you could never an argument, and yet, the was that you realized your life is going to be what you make it.
So I might go to my mom and say, “I’d like to football”. And she would say, “Well, it's your life.

And she would reply, “Yes, but what you want and what you get are usually two entirely different things.”

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and . All the students were working a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no of stopping. I walked down the row and found was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” I felt it best not to .
After another ten minutes, the students were to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoebox. Then Donna hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in . Amen!”
She turned the students and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student and said, “I Can’t,” Donna pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.
