THE STRANGER WHO PAID HER SCHOOL FEES A young girl sat outside her school, crying. Her classmates were inside writing their exams, but she had been sent home because her fees were unpaid. An old man passing by stopped and asked, “Why are you crying?” She explained everything. He looked at her and said, “If I help you today, promise me something.” “What, sir?” “When you become successful, help someone else who cannot help themselves.” He paid her fees and walked away without asking for her name. Twenty years later, that same girl became a successful doctor. One afternoon, she paid the school fees of 50 children. When someone asked her why, she smiled. “Someone once believed in me when the world had given up.” Never underestimate the impact of a kindness you may never get credit for. One good deed can travel through generations.

Sometimes, just a kind and thoughtful word is enough to lift someone's spirit. Never underestimate the power of your words. You may be the reason someone finds the strength to keep going. Be kind. Be thoughtful. Always care.
