20．How did one man prove that small kindnesses add up？
      My family first met Wally Urtz，the gentle，modest manager of our local supermarket，on a windy day nearly 20 years ago just after we'd moved to Hastings-on-Hudson，a New York City suburb．As my wife made her way to the store's exit，attending her groceries and two small children，Wally rushed up beside her．"I'll get those，young lady，"he said brightly，taking her bags and leading her to the parking lot．Now that may seem like no big deal--except that these days things like that so seldom happen．
        Our story，as it turned out，was typical．Among Hastings's 8，000 people living here，almost everybody had at least one about Wally's politeness and generosity．There were the times he'd reach into his own pocket when someone was short of money； the times he'd show small kindnesses to someone who'd just lost a loved one or who was in the middle of divorce；the many，many times he'd put himself out for older people．
"He just appreciated that when people get older，their lives get smaller--they don't drive，their friends have passed on--and how much it means to be treated warmly，"one woman，Kathy Dragan said．"When my mother was in her 80s，it was a treat for her to go to the store．"Wally would call out to the shop clerk and say，"You give her whatever attention she needs．"She'd tell me，"He's kinder to me than some people I've known all my life．"
     Yet few of us fully understood what Wally meant to the people's life of our community--until he was sent to another store 20 miles away．For some unknown reason，the Food Emporium chain had decided to replace 67-year-old Wally after 26 years due to"operational issues related to operating a store the size of the one in Hastings．"
     No one could believe it．Word spread quickly．Neighbors called each other seeking the feeling of emotional comfort．Some planned to bring Wally back and staged protest marches outside the store．Others flooded the local newspaper with angry lerters．The mayor took up the cause．Even the police tried to set things right．
   A grocer seems an unlikely figure to set off such an emotional outpouring（流露）．What he did shows the remarkable effect Wally--a man of endless warmth and good humor 一 had on people．

4．Blind imitation （模仿）is self-destruction．To those who do not recognize their unique worth，imitation appears attractive；to those who know their strength，imitation is unacceptable．
    In the early stages of skill or character development，imitation is helpful．When I first learned to cook，I used recipes（菜谱）and turned out some tasty dishes．But soon I grew bored．Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own？Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle；they help you get going，but once you find your own balance，you fly faster and farther without relying on them．
    In daily life，imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously（下意识地）hold poor role models．If，as a child，you observed people whose lives were bad，you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did．If you do not make strong choices for yourself，you will get the results of the weak choices of others．
    In the field of entertainment，our culture glorifies celebrities．Those stars look great on screen．But when they step off screen，their personal lives may be disastrous．If you are going to follow someone，focus on their talent，not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors．
    Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique．Think of the movies，books，teachers，and friends that have affected you most deeply．They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration，not desperation．The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them，but by those who do what has been done inside them．Creative people have an endless resource of ideas．The problem a creator faces is not running out of material；it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination．
    Study your role models，accept the gifts they have given，and leave behind what does not server you．Then you can say，"I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors'tragedies and declare victory，and know that they are cheering on．"
