Will you put others' needs before your own? What feeling will you get if you do? Here is an experience of mine.
It was a wet day and I had a hard time. I was busy and everyone I talked to was in a bad mood(心情). What's more, I went out without breakfast and I left my 1 at home. So I couldn't get lunch and was terribly hungry.
When I finished my work, I 2 to ask my wife to meet me at the door with some money so that I could quickly go to buy 3. Then I quickly made my way home in hope of eating my 4 meal of the day at 5:00 p.m.
As I was halfway home, my wife told me by phone that a friend of ours was in trouble and needed a lift(搭便车) home. My mind said, "I will get him after I get the meal." But my mouth said, "All right, I'll give him a 5."
He jumped in the car with a smile on his face and repeated how 6 he was that I would drive him home. He told me he usually walked home from his company but that day the 7 stopped him from making that journey.
Traffic was 8. A drive to his home normally took 10 minutes, but that day it took 30 minutes.
Now you would guess the person that I was helping is a 9 friend of mine. But, in fact, he is a friend of a friend's.
I wonder if I will ever see this person again, but I feel glad I was there when he 10 me.
So you will feel yourself helpful and useful when you care more about others.
