A famous person once said, "We live much happier lives when we are generous(慷慨的) in as many ways as possible."

I love persimmons(柿子). A few years ago, ready to fly from San Francisco to Boston, I packed two persimmons, one of which I ate in the waiting room. A lady asked me from which store in the airport the fruit was bought. She looked a bit disappointed hearing that it couldn't be bought from any store in this airport. I thought to myself, "I can give the second persimmon away." When I offered her the fruit, at first she refused, but when I insisted (坚持), she became glad and accepted. I felt happy to make someone else happy, and I thought it was the end of the story.

Sometime during the flight, the lady met me in the aisle(过道) and thanked me again. She shared that she had grown up in Russia, where there was a persimmon tree in the yard of her childhood home. She now lived in Boston, where she hadn't been able to find the fruit. The taste of the persimmon was valuable to her, reconnecting her with memories of her family.

Only then did the tiny act make a difference to me. As a famous saying goes, "_______" The taste of the persimmon that I offered to the lady gives me more joy than all the ones I have eaten.
