A
Compared with being rich, it is much better to live rich, that is, to ensure your limited time on this planet is spent realizing your full potential. 1
1. Understand the give-and-take.
It may seem more selfless to be a giver, but it is also a gift to be a receiver. Plants and animals work together by breathing out the chemicals necessary for the other to breathe in. Understanding this universal truth helps you appreciate the moment you're in.
2. Focus on your smile.
The world reacts to you based on your appearance and actions. 2 It can help you get more positive results in life. No matter what is going on in your life, focusing on smiling will improve your day.
3. 3
You can't expect to win when you're simply playing not to lose. The difference in your way of thinking matters a lot. So imagine yourself as a champion. That is how the day will play out.
4. Shake it off.
Not everyone can win every time, no matter what all those medals we hand out may indicate. 4 Learn from it; then, move on. If you're still alive, you have another shot.
5. Give back to others.
There is no problem with wanting to create wealth. 5 Never forget that the only reason you have money is because someone gave it to you.
A. Play to win.
B. Act in the face of fear.
C. Here are five steps to living rich.
D. Who you choose to be is up to you.
E. When you lose, don't get stuck with self-pity.
F. A smile goes a long way towards relaxing people.
G. But it's important to spread that wealth and use it to help others.
B
A generous stranger bought a plane ticket for a homeless mother to watch her three daughters compete at the AAU Junior Olympic Games. 1
Sisters Tai Sheppard, 11, Rainn Sheppard, 10, and Brooke Sheppard, 8 —who began training in track and field in January of 2015 —all made it into the Junior Olympics to compete in various races. Brooke also competed in the high jump, an event which involves equipment that her training team doesn't even have. 2 The girls, who live in a homeless shelter with their mother, Tonia Handy, 46, were able to attend the games thanks to support from the girls' training team and a successful GoFundMe campaign. Handy, however, could not afford a plane ticket of her own to watch them compete in person.
That was until Ken Smaltz Jr., a complete stranger, read about the family. 3
“It just feels nice to help someone,”Smaltz said, who also didn't intend for the gesture to be made public.
On August 1, Handy surprised Rainn by showing up to the track right before she was about to run the 3,000 m race.
Rainn was extremely excited. The mother and daughter hugged six times before they took each other's hands and walked to the track together.
4
Although the family's athletic accomplishments are grand, their needs are simple.
“Do you have money to eat?”Rainn whispered into her mom's ear after her race.
5 “For me to be out here is an impressive achievement on its own.”
A. He gave all three girls business cards after the meet.
B. He reached out to Handy and offered to buy her a ticket.
C. “She knew I didn't have money,”Handy later explained.
D. They belong to Jeuness Track Club in Brooklyn, New York.
E. It is an annual event where kids in the U.S. compete in sports.
F. That meant all of her jumps were practiced during competitions.
G. Shortly after their sweet reunion, Rainn won the gold medal in the race.
