Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner:
1. A four-year-old child, whose next doorneighbor was an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost hiswife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the oldGentleman’s’ yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.When his mother asked him what he hadsaid to the neighbor, the little boy just said, ‘Nothing, I justHelped him cry.

3. On my way home one day, I stopped towatch a Little League base ball game that was being played in apark near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was’We’re behind 14 to nothing,’ he answeredWith a smile.’Really,’ I said. ‘I have to say youdon’t look very discouraged.”Discouraged?’, the boy asked with aPuzzled look on his face…’Why should we be discouraged? We haven’tBeen up to bat yet.‘

4. Whenever I’m disappointed with my spotin life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott.Jamie was trying out for a part in theschool play. His mother told me that he’d set his heart on beingin it, though she feared he would not be chosen..On the day the parts were awarded, I wentwith her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her,eyes shining with pride and excitement.. ‘Guess what, Mom,’ heshouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson tome….’I’ve been chosen to clap and cheer.’
