  My mother was a household servant.Through her work, she found that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching television.She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week.With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and write book reports.She would mark them up with check marks.Years later we realized her marks were a ruse(计策).My mother had only received a third-grade education.Although we had no money, between the covers of those books, I could go anywhere, do anything and be anybody.

  When I entered high school, I was an A-student, but not for long.I wanted the cool clothes.I wanted to hang out with the guys.I went form being an A- student to a B- student to a C-student, but I didn’t care.

  One night my mother came home and I complained about not having enough shirts.She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week cleaning floors and bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills.With everything left over, you can have all the shirts you want.”

  I was very pleased with that arrangement but once I got through allocating(分配)money, there was nothing left.I realized my mother was a financial genius(天才)to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, much less(更不用说)buy clothes.

  I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere.Success required intellectual(理智的)preparation.I went back to my studies and became an A-student again.I dreamed of becoming a doctor when I was just a kid.And now I have achieved my dream.

  My story is really my mother’s story -a woman with little formal education or worldly goods who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children.

The day was Thankful Thursday. It's a weekly tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive contribution. On this particular Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do. At noon, I drove to a McDonald’s with my daughters because they kept complaining that they hadn’t had enough to eat at breakfast. There we saw some homeless people in the street and we bought lunch for them.
We were about to complete when we found a small woman standing at the corner, asking for change. We handed her some food, and then started to head home. Suddenly from the mirror of the car, I saw the woman waving at us, so I had to turn around and stopped where the small woman stood. She walked to our car, and said, "Thank you, lady! No one has ever done anything like this for me before." I replied, "Well, I'm glad that we were the first." Feeling uneasy, and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, "So, when do you think you'll eat your lunch?"
She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, "Oh honey, I'm not going to eat this lunch." I was confused, but before I could say anything, she continued. "You see, I have a little girl of my own at home and she just loves McDonald's, but I can never buy it for her because I just don't have the money. But you know what…tonight she is going to have McDonald's!"
I don't know if the kids noticed the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our Acts of Kindness were too small to have effect on those poor people. Yet at that moment, I realized the truth of Mother Teresa's words: "We cannot do great things — only small things with great love."
