I was driving around downtown one afternoon in the winter. I
1 a red light and stopped. As I was
2 , I saw a young guy standing on my left. He was
3 in the face and holding a cardboard sign with some
4 on it. When you’re in the heart of downtown, it’s pretty
5 to see homeless people asking for
6 . Generally, I would pass them, but this time when I glanced over the sign, I
7 .
I can’t remember what the sign said exactly, but it was something like: “
8 money / food, have stomach cancer, homeless, anything helps.”
I didn’t know why, but for some
9 this particular sign struck me. The
10 had just turned green, and there was a line of lunch rush hour traffic behind me. I went back and forth in my
11 a hundred times in that next
12 about whether I should do something. “Should I help?
13 on? Should I do something?”
I didn’t. I did nothing.
The traffic moved
14 , and I went with it. About a block（街区）or two away, my heart had sunk simply for this guy. I felt so
15 for him. So, I decided to go back and ask him
16 I could buy him lunch and hear his story.
It took me about five minutes to
17 and back on to the same street where I had seen him. It was just five minutes — but he was
18 .
“Where did he go so fast?” I wondered. So, there was
19 left to do except drive on.
If you get a special
nudge（想做的事）from inside you,
20 consider acting on it. Don’t miss out — for yourself and for that other person.
