The most caring child

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 was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old man's yard, climbed onto his lap and just sat there. When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "nothing, I just helped him cry."

Beauty Tips by Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993)

For attractive lips,
Speak words of kindness.


For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.


For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.


For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.


For poise,
Walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.


People, even more than things, have to be restored,
renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed;
Never throw out anybody.


Remember, if you need a helping hand,
You'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands,

One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carried, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.


The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul.


It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman with passing years-only grows!
