"I do not want to be like the billionaire who is praised for being “self-made.” I want to be like the people who visited me in the hospital and kept hope up for my parents. I want to be like the man who stops to help you when your tire is flat. I want to be like the woman who notices you are struggling and brings you a hot meal. I want to be like the friend who takes your grandkids out for a special day when you cannot afford it, or the stranger who offers a smile when you are hurting inside."
