I had offered to watch my 3-year-old daughter, Ramanda, so that my wife could go out with a friend. I was getting some work done while Ramanda appeared to be having a good time in the other room. No problem, I figured. But then it got a little too quiet and I yelled out. “What are you doing. Raxiianda?” No response. I repeated my question and heard her say, “Oh ... nothing.” Nothing? What does “nothing” mean?

I got up from my desk and ran out into the living room, and then I saw her take off down the hall. I chased her up the stairs and watched her as her little behind made a hard left into the bedroom. I was gaining on her! She took off for the bathroom. Bad move. I had her cornered. I told her to turn around. She refused. I pulled out my big, mean authoritative(命令式的)Daddy voiced Young lady, I said turn around!”

Slowly, she turned toward me. In her hand was what was left of my wife's new lipstick. And every square inch of her face was covered with bright red (except her lips of course)!

As she looked up at me with fearful eyes, lips trembling. I heard every voice that had been shouted to me as a child. “How could you...You should know better than that...How many times have you been told …What a bad thing to do...” It was just a matter of my picking out which old message I was going to use on her so that she would know what a bad girl she had been. But before I could let loose, I looked down at the sweatshirt my wife had put on her only an hour before. In big letters it said, “I'M A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL!” I looked back up into her tearful eyes and, instead of seeing a bad girl who didn’t listen, I saw a child of God …a perfect little angel full of worth, value and a wonderful spontaneity(自发行为) that I had come dangerously close to shaming out of her.

“Sweetheart, you look beautiful! let's take a picture so Mommy can see how special you look.” I took the picture and thanked God that I didn’t miss the opportunity to reaffirm(再肯定)what a perfect little angel he had given me.

I live in New York City, and my “neighbors” are people I don’t know. My city, neighborhood and block are filled with people who don’t know me, don’t care to know me, and don’t talk to me. I find that it’s pretty hard to love people you don’t even know. And sometimes, we all, myself included, use that as an excuse not to try.

One day, Brendan, a young man in New York, was coming home to his Brooklyn apartment when a homeless woman called Jackie asked him for money. He said that he had no money. By the end of the week, she asked two more times, and each time he answered “No.” The woman looked sad, so Brendan said, “I am on my way to a job interview. If I get the job, I will take you out for Chinese food.”

Brendan got the job and carried out his promise. That was when their friendship began. They built a strong friendship by supporting each other and spending their birthdays, holidays and tough times together, over a period of eight years. When Brendan’s heater broke, Jackie made him a blanket. Two days later when he told her that he had lost his job, she disappeared, returning minutes later, bringing him food to eat. She continued to do throughout the winter. Even with so little, she never hesitated to give back.

Over these years, Jackie moved from the streets and subway stations, into a halfway house, and is now moving into an apartment. To celebrate it, Brendan wanted to do something special for Jackie. He went with her to Target, and helped her to pick out everything she’d need for her new apartment.

May Brendan’s story encourage us to find a new way to honor, serve and love the people around us.

10-year-old Mikaila Ulmer from Texas is building a lemonade empire,hoping to save honey bees in the process.

It all started when Mikaila was 4 years old and was stung(刺痛)by a bee twice in one week.This caused her to become very scared whenever bees were near.

To help her deal with this new fear,Mikaila's parents asked her to do some research on bees.She learned that bees are incredibly important for flowers,gardens and trees as pollinators(传粉者).She also learned that they are dying fast.In the past year,honey bee farmers have reported losing nearly 12% of their colony.Many believe that this could be due to the overuse of pesticide(杀虫剂),which can have many bad effects upon bees.

This is when she decided to create a product to help save bees.She planned to sell lemonade and started her own company,BeeSweet Lemonade.Her special lemonade recipe came from her great-grandmother's cookbook.She decided to add honey to it,instead of sugar,to call attention to the problems honey bees face.Mikaila sells lemonade almost everyday at her lemonade stand.She takes every opportunity to tell her customers about the issues facing honey bees.

What began as a small operation is starting to grow.BeeSweet is projected to sell almost 140,000 bottles of lemonade this year.BeeSweet lemonade can be found on the shelves at select Whole Foods Markets as well as many restaurants and other locations near her home in Austin,Texas.

Mikaila and her cause have also been featured in many news reports,magazines,blogs and even on Shark Tank,a TV show featuring hopeful entrepreneurs.

Does Mikaila have time to just be a kid?Sure!Her parents have said that every weekend,Mikaila does something fun.She doesn't mind the hard work,though.She says that she is happy watching people enjoy her lemonade,and that makes her want to grow her company more and more.The more people enjoy,the more they're learning about the bees.

Leaving Hanoi on a fiercely hot summer day,after an hour by air,Luang Prabang gradually appears below our airplane wings.From a few hundred meters above,my first impression of this UNESCO-listed heritage(遗产)is an area of green land and mountains,surrounded by snaking rivers.

Encircled by mountains,the former royal capital of Luang Prabang is more than just the country's picture-perfect showpiece.

Travelers will be attracted to Luang Prabang by the city's timeless peacefulness with its shiny Buddhist temples, French colonial architecture and friendly people.

Tourists visiting Luang Prabang shouldn't miss the chance to see one of the most sacred(神圣的)Lao traditions, tak bat,or the Buddhist almsgiving ritual(仪式),which dates back to the 14th century.

As the sun rises in Luang Prabang,hundreds of Buddhist monks depart from their temples to gather their daily offerings,which most commonly are rice,fresh fruit and traditional sweet snacks.The daily alms gathering begins on the main street before spreading to all the side streets.

Our group of six got out of our comfy beds at 5 am to join other local residents and tourists to offer alms to the monks.We kneeled by the roadside in front of the 3 Nagas Hotel on the main street with big baskets of steamed sticky rice,waiting quietly until monks of all ages passed by to accept our gifts.

The daily ritual gives you a wonderful opportunity to experience an ancient Lao tradition.However,there are some strict rules if you wish to join the event.

Firstly,shoulders,chests and legs must be covered in modest clothing as a mark of respect.You should also remain a suitable distance from the monks.Photographs may be taken,but from a distance and never use a camera flash.The ritual has to be performed in silence.Talking to or touching the monks at any time,even when making an offering,is not allowed.

Another must-do morning activity is to visit the local market,where you can see the generosity that Mother Nature offers this dreamy land.While walking through the morning market,located within a long and narrow hamlet,I was excited to see all kinds of products from the nearby river and jungle: some ill-fated squirrels lying next to fresh bamboo shoots,different kinds of wild mushrooms and vegetables displayed on banana leaves and giant river catfish in baskets.

Although Luang Prabang is small,there are many things to see here.Active travelers can get up close and personal with Laos' gentle giants at the elephant conservation camp or take in some scenes of riverside life with a cruise or kayak excursion on the rivers.Two waterfalls that are perfect for picnicking in the foothills nearby,and classes are available in traditional crafts.

Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.1. Make a study time and have it at the same time every day. This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.
