How to make the world a better place

When you think about people who have made the world a better place, you probably think of famous scientists or great leaders. That is not all the truth.        51        An act of kindness can bring a smile to a person’s face even if only for a moment.

l       Give away your money.        52        For example, if you want to help hungry children, you can try to find an international organization that provides food for those in poor areas. Every cent you give away will mean a lot.

l       Help a stranger. Your small actions can brighten the day of others. Hold the door for someone whose hands are full. Help the blind cross the street.        53        The key is expecting nothing in return for your acts of kindness.

l       Care about those you know. Show the people close to you how much you care about them. Tell them they mean a lot to you. Make a beautiful gift for a friend. Take your husband to his favorite fun place if he has had a hard week.        54        

l       Be grateful to others. Have you had good service in a restaurant? Thank the waiter. Do you have a very good neighbour who is always there when you need her? Tell her how much you appreciate her being in your life.

l              55        If a friend needs skills in a certain area, offer your advice. Perhaps she is struggling to set up a computer, and you know how to do that. Offer whatever ability you have, but always remember to be polite.

Martin Luther King. Jr. was born in Georgia in 1929. When he was still a boy, Martin learned that his people, the black Americans, were often treated differently from most of their fellow Americans. Many could not attend good schools, get good jobs, or live in nice houses because of the color of their skin. Martin knew that in a free country this was wrong. He wanted to help his black brothers, so he decided to go to school to get good education. He became a minister(牧师)in Montgomery, Alabama. This is where Martin Luther King’s “peaceful fight” first began. Dr. King held the belief that the only way people could win their rights was to remain peaceful, even in face of danger. Later Martin Luther King, became a famous lawyer and a great leader of black people who fight for equal rights. In 1963,his efforts led to the Great March(大游行)on Washington, where King delivered his famous speech “I Have a Dream”. Here he raised public concern for the civil rights(民权) movement. Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his achievements and courage.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
