Tell us about a time when you should have helped someone… but didn’t.

This past weekend I felt like a lazy lout when my wife went Saturday with one of our daughters to shop all day for her siblings and then the other daughter on Sunday. My wife is great, she knew I was doing some extra detailed research for my lesson plans so she didn’t even ask. I want you to know I don’t take her for granted though. I should have been there shopping along with her and each daughter. My son was out of the equation because he was  working.

I made it up to everyone though. I went out in the morning and got my wife and I Starbucks. Then for lunch while she was out with one daughter, I got the remaining kids Subway. For dinner, I even went and got Chipolte. So don’t write me off as totally selfish. I do think next year I want to take more of a role in getting gifts for the kids.

Walking down the street, you encounter a folded piece of paper on the sidewalk. You pick it up and read it and immediately, your life has changed. Describe this experience.

The paper I found this morning that changed my life said:

Dear Traveler through life and time,

1. There is nothing to fear but fear itself.
2. Most people are just as scared as you are, don’t be intimidated.
3. Love all people.
4. Focus on your passions and do them as much as possible.
5. Don’t ever feel ashamed to follow your dreams.
6. Remember as other give to you, to give in like fashion. “Pay it forward.” and finally, again:
7. There is nothing to fear but fear itself.
