Well I did my good deed for the week last night. (on the way home from the gym) There was an old guy broke down in the at 119th and Antioch right in the middle of the intersection. It was around 6:30 or so, so it was kind of busy. No one was stopping to help him just driving around him and honking ect. So I pulled my truck off the side of the road and then ran over to where he was, he said it was just dead and he didn't know why(newer car) So I had him get in and steer while I pushed his car over to the shoulder(a construction area) so he was totally out of the way. He had someone about 5 min away coming to get him so he was fine in that regards. But it was pretty disappointing that no one would stop and help a what looked like 70-80 y/o man and only wanted to drive by and honk when it was obvious he was broke down and having issues.

Great accomplishment only comes with great risk. I’ll accept the crippling, gut wrenching disappointment of risking all, and failing, but only by putting my whole heart and soul, my whole being into something, will I have the chance to walk among the stars.
Those who risk nothing, those who live their lives in fear, will never have that chance.
Failure is not a sin. It’s being too afraid to even try, that is a sin.
