I have made a New Year's determination to give back. Whether it is time or money, just to give back to people who need some motivation or help.
Daryl is a nightly 1 at my gym. I did not get a picture of him. Tonight I could not fall asleep, so I 2 to go stretching. Daryl worked hard at 3 the floors and cleaning the equipment that people didn't clean after they used. 4 you, this was 3 a. m.
I 5 to Daryl and asked him a few questions: does he have a family, how is everything 6 and so on. He was very skeptical at first, and you could tell he was 7 to provide information for a stranger. I told him that I had made a New Year's 8 to simply give back — give back to those who work hard day and night to 9 their family and take pride in their work. Daryl 10 did that. I gave Daryl $100 in cash. I told him he 11 this and not to treat it 12 as a donation. He worked for it and it was my personal 13 to reward folks that often got 14. Just at that very moment, Daryl 15 and said no one had 16 done this for him before and that he was struggling. Then he started to 17. He said he was old and people like me didn't 18 anymore. I simply told him he deserved it.
When the time and resources come, just 19 suit and do something for someone who is working hard and is 20. Big or small.
