9．A homeless man in Las Vegas who had been living on the streets and had not seen his six children for nearly 25years has been reunited with his daughter thanks to modern technology and the kindness of strangers．
Jimmy Francis was outside a Firehouse Subs shop earlier this month when he was spotted by a local realtor Jim Snyder，as he was going in to pick up his dinner．When Snyder saw Francis struggling in the cold weather，he，with the help of Firehouse employees，bought the man a sandwich and gave him some cash．
After Snyder got home his thoughts stayed with Francis，left out in the cold．"He was shaking so uncontrollably and was so cold．It just broke my heart and I thought there's something I've got to do here，"Snyder，49，told ABCNews．com．"By the time I got to where my home is，I knew I had to turn around and get him．"
Snyder，who says he had never before done anything like that，brought Francis to the home he shares with his wife，Maria，and gave him coffee，a warm shower，washed his clothes and packed a suitcase full of his own old clothes for Francis．
Over coffee and a warm meal，Snyder，himself a father of five children and step-children，learned that Francis had not seen his six children for over two decades after a divorce．He was particularly torn，Snyder says，over not seeing his only daughter，Natalie．
"He told me he had colon cancer in 2010and wasn't expected to live and because of that experience，the one thing constantly in his mind is that he wants to be reunited with his children，"Snyder said．
The Snyders took down the names and birth dates of Francis's children and used social media to search for them．
The couple found Natalie Francis，now living in Northern California and herself a grandmother，on Facebook and sent her a message．Less than one hour later，they had a response．
"The message just said，‘Oh my God．This is my dad．Is he okay？'"Snyder recalled．
Just days later the couple brought Francis，living temporarily with an acquaintance，back to their home for a Skype call with his daughter．
"A whole lot of emotions，"is how Snyder recalled the virtual reunion．"That was the first time they'd seen each other in 24years，literally．It was very，very special．"

8．This is a true story about a boy who，the world might say，was a terrible underachiever．While in the eighth grade，he failed subjects repeatedly．High school wasn't much better； he flunked Latin，algebra，English，and received a grade of zero in physics．The boy managed to make the school golf team，but he lost the most important golf match of the season．
It's not that his peers（同龄人） disliked this boy； it's just that they never really seemed to notice him much．Even"Hellos"in the hall were a rarity．Out of all the failures in his life，there was something that did hold great importance to this boy，his love of drawing．Although in high school，the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected，once out of school，the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works．I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him，but such was not the case； another huge rejection．
Despite his lack of successes，this boy did not give up．He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons，about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody．
The name of this boy was Charles Schulz，the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy．
In life，it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody．We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work，or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall，and no one seems to notice or care．Deep inside，we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer，but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance，we may feel worthless，just like Charlie Brown who couldn't even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly．
Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent，so too，we must realize that nobody is a nobody．We all have special gifts and talents，and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated．
