The Kindest People Who Do Good Deeds: Volume 1
Today's Price £9.49
The doing of good deeds is important. As a free person, you can choose to live your life as a good person or as a bad person. To be a good person, do good deeds. To be a bad person, do bad deeds. If you do good deeds, you will become good. If you do bad deeds, you will become bad. To become the person you want to be, act as if you already are that kind of person. Each of us chooses what kind of person we will become. To become a hero, do the things a hero does. To become a coward, do the things a coward does. The opportunity to take action to become the kind of person you want to be is yours.
Many people in the arts, in religion, and in everyday life have done good deeds, and I am happy that such people exist in this world.
Stranded in Kent, Ohio
In Kent, Ohio, early in his vaudeville days, W.C. Fields found himself stranded. (At this time, he was still being victimized by tour managers who would abscond with their performers' salaries.) He had six dollars, sold his coat for two dollars, then went to the railroad station to inquire about the fare to New York. The railroad agent told him that it was just over $10. (Ten dollars in 1894 was the rough equivalent of over $200 in the year 2000.) "Well, I guess I'm stuck," Mr. Fields said. "I've got eight dollars." The agent asked if he was an entertainer, and on hearing that Mr. Fields was, he said, "People don't put much trust in you folks, do they?" (At this time, being an entertainer was about as low on the social scale as a person could be.) "We're used to it," Mr. Fields said. The agent then gave Mr. Fields $10 and said, "I've always wondered what there was to that story. When you get a little ahead, send this back." That rare act of kindness impressed Mr. Fields so much that he sat on a bench and cried. Two years later, Mr. Fields was finally able to repay the debt. On Christmas Eve, 1896, he sent $20 to the railroad agent ($10 was for "interest"), then he stood in line at a free soup kitchen for a Christmas dinner. After Mr. Fields became a huge success, he looked up the agent, as did other famous show people who learned what the agent had done for Mr. Fields.[1]
