● A good heart

Dikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa among great poverty (貧窮) and disease (疾病). Later he became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in Congo (剛果). People called him “a good-hearted man”.

● Success and kindness

After her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming children’s videos in her own house. The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 million in sales. And now she is using her success to help others - producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Julie says of her new program, “I believe it’s the most important thing that I have ever done.”

● Bravery and courage

Wesley Autrey became a national hero when he placed his life in danger to help a stranger who had fallen onto the tracks in a New York subway tunnel.

Autrey was waiting for a downtown local train in Manhattan one day with his two daughters. Suddenly, a young man, Cameron Hollopeter, fell onto the subway tracks. Just . then a train was coming. He dove onto the tracks and tried to take Hollopeter off the tracks, but there was not enough time to drag Hollopeter away. Instead, Autrey threw himself down onto the man, in the space between the rails (鐵軌). It was too late for the train to stop. Several cars passed over them, and left a grease (潤滑油) mark on his hat.

After that Autrey said, “I just saw someone who needed help and did what I felt was right.”
