“Nicest man in the world”

Patrick Morgan

Florida

This guy names Patrick works at an airport and he was doing his usually routine as a custodian until he passed by a shack and found an iPad. He was in shock when he looked in the case because there it was 2 thousand dollars. Patrick was so nice enough to go report it so the owner can come back for what she/ he had lost. The owner was thankful and gave him a $60 reward. I felt so happy and joyful because some people would’ve kept the money and the iPad. Later on the reports were interviewing him and he said that he spent the $60 on a poor women and the other half to a co-worker that needed it. It was a heartwarming moment. His boss had noticed what he did so rewarded him $625 for himself.

An internal phenomenon

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”

Dr. Laura Schlesinger

Reflection: Being proud and self-confident will make you want to do everything right because you know you can do it yourself without cheating or copying someone else. This quote also means that you will feel happy on what you’re doing for yourself.
