Ever since I was little I loved doing things for other people. As I got older I began doing random ( 随意的 ) things for people. For example, during holidays, such as Christmas, I would make an extra   21  along with the ones for my relatives. Then I would go and find someone in the grocery store and just hand it to them and walk away. It was so much fun. I admit,   22 , the first time I did it I was so   23 . I didn’t know who to give the card to. So I said a little prayer and knew that the   24  person would just appear. About that time an elderly man ran   25  me with his shopping cart. It was an accident, and he   26  a million times. We smiled and he walked away, and I knew that he was the one.  Later I found him in a different isle(过道), handed him the card, and smiled. I said Happy Holidays, and then walked away. It was so great, and the   27  I had afterwards was unexplainable.

Then one day I came across your website (the coolest website ever) and   28  some Smile Cards. When they came in, I started a new project. When I go into a store, I locate a person who I think needs a   29 . Then, I buy a flower, a carnation, to be exact, and   30  it in the most beautiful paper they have. I tie lots of ribbons on it to make it   31 , and then slip the smile card into an envelope and   32  it to the flower. After that, I pay for it and explain to the cashier   33  it is to go to (I live in a pretty small town so it’s easy to get the help of the cashiers). They then give it to that person when they come through.. Once in a while I’ll buy the flower and then just leave it for the cashier. That gets smiles.

My favorite time was when I picked out this elderly woman who was walking around the   34  somewhat confused. I had come across her numerous times and she only smiled slightly once. When she came to the check out (I was watching from outside) her face   35  and the smile was the biggest I had ever seen. Later that week the cashier whom I had had   36  me told me that the lady had been so surprised and while she was walking out with the grocery bag to her car, she was planning what she was going to do for someone else. It was awesome.

I absolutely love the random acts of kindness cards. I   37  at least two in my purse and others in my car, locker and everywhere I go. As I mentioned, my club, STARS, is doing a Random Acts of Kindness Project with the smile cards so they also are using them. I look forward to hearing about their success. It’s really great. I   38  used them in school. I bought my entire math class cans of pop after lunch one day. They came in from lunch and a can of pop and a smile card were setting   39  that day. It totally lightened the mood in the class that day   40  we were studying for a test. Thank you for all of the help that you provide. The smile cards are a great program that brings smiles into the lives of many!

Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to   41   with you.

I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the high way at 85 mph   42   we realized we were   43   . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $ 20 bill. I was so   44   because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on   45   seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.

46   , I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I   47   I had not actually handed my money to the cashier. I had just  48   out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible. 

My conscience(良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t   49   over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and   50   for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I

51   to forgive myself the pleasure of an ice cream for   52   that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change   53   the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?” I was not so    54   of my cash now.

For the next two years, whenever I was  55   of the “pizza incident,” I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it.”

I have learned two things from this   56   . Maybe I was a fool for   57    in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a   58   pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will   59   up with you.

This reflects the saying, “A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand times, a hero dies once.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that accident at least a thousand times. If I had been a   60   and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
