1 . When my children were young, we used to walk on a trail (小路) around the lake near our home.

One spring day my daughter noticed lots of trash (垃圾) was lying along the trail. So the next day we brought a big trash bag with us and started to slowly, step by step, pick up the trash along the way. There were pop cans (易拉罐), plastic (塑料的) water bottles, empty chip bags, and even an old worn-out shoe. We stopped and picked up them. By the time we circled the lake, the bag was nearly full.

Exhausted but happy we put the bag in an empty trash bin. We stopped before we headed home and took one last look at the lake as the sun set. It looked more beautiful than ever.

I know that at times this world’s problems can be overwhelming (巨大的) and you wonder what you can do to make a difference. But the truth is everything you do makes a difference! Every time you stop to pick up a single piece of trash, you make a difference in the world. Every smile you share makes a difference. Every kind word you say makes a difference. Every loving thought you think, every hug you share, every flower you plant, every animal you save, everything you do, no matter how small, makes a difference in this world.

Ten years ago, I lost my job in Hangzhou. I had to move to Shanghai to find another job. I left my wife and children behind. I missed them very much, so I went home on weekends to see them.

A few days after New Year’s Day, I drove my old car back to Hangzhou. On the way, my car broke down. It was so cold and I didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, a young man drove up. He tried his best to help me repair the car. He soon got it started.

I was so thankful that I gave him all the money in my purse, but he refused. Then I got to know that he helped the drivers in trouble on the road every weekend. What a kind man! How lucky I was to meet him in my life!

Many years later, I still often remember that great man.
