If someone begs you for food in a restaurant, what will you do?
If somebody begs me for food in a restaurant, I will buy them a meal or give them a complimentary meal, assuming I still managed a restaurant.When I still worked in fast-food, I encountered many people who wanted food. Some were dishonest people who were just looking for a free meal, some were people who were genuinely in need.After sometime, by the virtue of having worked in many locations across the city, I came to have an intuitive feel for the real and fakes.The fakes: they toured around restaurants in the city looking for free food and money. In some cases these were able bodied men who I presume had given up on working for an honest living.One case stands out in my memory. I was just about to close the restaurant for the day when a man came in and requested to see the manager.I came out to the lobby to meet him and he said to me,“my brother, I am very hungry. Please feed me. I have been sick and the medicines I take make me very hungry. If I don’t eat soon, I may faint. I would have bought some food but I don’t have any money and there’s is nothing in my bank account. I came out today to look for work, I got something which I will start tomorrow, but at this moment, I am penniless.”He went on to explain that he was a fine artist who fell sick four months prior with a life threatening disease that ate all his savings.I told him to wait a bit for me. Fortunately, it was around our closing time so I had lot’s of food to hand out to him which would have otherwise gone to wasteI made him a double chicken sandwhich, an extra-large portion of chips, 2-piece Original recipe chicken, and a bottle of water. From my wallet, I took two one thousand naira notes and added to the tray for him. His transport fareHe struck me as a hardworking man down on his luck and I wanted to do as much as I could.I took the tray to the lobby for him, told him to enjoy his meal and to get home safely.Three months later, the company that this man worked for won a large contract and he was kind enough to suggest to his boss that they give us the catering gig. Sadly, it didn't work out, but I appreciated the gesture immensely.I have experienced biting hunger many times before in my life and I know a person can never make sane decisions whilst their stomach rumbles.
Homeless man in my home and won't leave ?
I let a homeless man in my house to clean up eat and sleep he has been here for 6 weeks and has taken over. He sold my tv, takes my car when I am asleep, took 180 dollars out my drawer and spent it on himself some beer and clothes , he even got rid of my dog and my whole house stinks. He baby sits my kids while I work because if he is going to be there I told him he needs to be doing something so i took them out of daycare and everyday I come home to a nasty house. I'm a RN and I make good money he has ruined everything in my home . I called cops they said he has to get a 30 day notice.. So I just didn't make him go. He turns up music real loud in the middle of the night and everything what do indo
I want to help needy and poor people but I don't have money. How can I help them?
Hey!!Good to see that people having no money,but have got a big heart.I really don't think giving money to beggars can ever be a good option.When nothing in this world comes for free,why should beggars get money by mere sympathy instead of hard work?As I am pursuing my b.tech from Nagpur and i live as PG,so there are expenses.I don’t have a fixed pocket money,it varies everytime.All depends on whether my mood flips on with time.But I love helping needy ones.So i celebrated this birthday with them,have gone through the streets of Nagpur and found a crowd of small children.I went close to them had a short conversation with them,gave some food and clothes and according to me great birthday celebrations are unnecessary when there are people who cannot even afford next meal.After spending an hour with them i asked them “can i leave?”(as those were the days my exams were on) suddenly one of them said “Itne jaldi”Translated: Why so early!!With smile on my face i said “Jald hi milenge”Translated: Will meet soon :)So this was my story.This birthday was simple but gave me lot more happiness than any other birthday celebration. When you make someone else smile on your birthday, I mean the real happiness, you cannot imagine how much happiness you receive in your heart.Notice the satisfaction one gets by helping someone needy.And Here are few things that you can do:1).Help the poor student by giving them your old books.2).You can let go that extra blanket in your wardrobe, humanity needs it.3).Have low self esteem, they wish for a better life - leave them feeling valued even if you don't have a dime to offer, don't give that awkward look when they ask for money.4).When travelling somewhere,keep stack of biscuits in your car,many kids ask for money in traffic signals,instead give them biscuits that can feed their hunger.5) You buy a movie ticket worth Rs.300 at the cinema - the poor doesn't have such surplus.You can invite them to spend some time with you alone.Humans are everywhere but only few of them are HumaneSo please do help the needy ones :)
Can I get in legal trouble for faking my age on the internet?
No you cannot get in legal trouble for faking your age on the internet. You can get in trouble for lying on an affidavit which is what you are providing when you are REQUIRED to provide an age for verifying who your are or that you are old enough to view content. I can pretend to be 15 or 50, the action you do while you are misrepresenting your age can cause you legal problems. Like the examples below (pretend to be 15 to get nude pictures of children) the possession of the nude is the crime not pretending to be 15. If you are faking your age to be older, you are placing yourself is serious risk. For example if a 16 says he/she is 18 and "hooks up" with someone 25 the older person has some ground to defend (how often do you ID your date???) In this case Statutory Rape will be difficult to convict, unless there is obvious indication the person is lying.
Zimbabwe with starving, cholera infected, dying people. While President Mungambe pretends it isn't happening.?
Zimbabwe is divided between those who support President Mugabe and those who are against him. And if any country interferes against the will of the present government there. Then this may result in a long war with many more people dying there for a long time. Iraq also had a brutal dictator. But US led 'help' there only increased the misery and the suffering of the people. And the future dictators of Iraq probably won't be much better than Saddam Hussein was. USA has a long tradition of accepting refugees from various places. A lot of original immigrants to USA were refugees from persecutions in Europe. And accepting refugees from Zimbabwe now is certainly one way USA can help.
I've lost everything. How do I start over? I’m tired of the constant cycle of failure I see myself in.
In the year 2011, just like you, I had lost everything.And by everything - I mean EVERYTHING.But unlike you - I didn’t have the strength to get back up and fight again.So I thought suicide was the only optionAnd I chronicled this journey of mine on videoWhich after many years - I uploaded on YouTube(I have posted the video link in the end)Today, however, I have not only come back to where I wasI am in a much better place.So how did I do it?Here are few pieces of advice I can suggest.You must be mentally strong and be determined to fight onKeep in mind HOPE is NOT a strategy - Be practical, realistic, and responsible. The real world operates differently.Make a list of all the reasons you failed and promise yourself never to repeat those mistakes againAsk anyone and everyone you know for helpTake whatever people give you - big or smallRemember all those people who helped you and never forget all those who deserted you - especially when you needed them. The ones who stuck to you in bad times - keep them forever. The rest - get rid of themGrab every opportunity to survive and succeedSurround yourself with powerful thoughts, emotions and feelings - (social media only look at inspirational, motivational and powerful stuff)Have a clear vision of where you want to go nextMake sure you take one step at a time - Just one step. And that is all that matters - and until you reach there - do not think of the next oneCelebrate every small victory but be very attentive about the failuresEvery penny counts - save every bit of itEnsure every action, every thought and every decision you take hence forth - contributes to your clear visionDo not get into vices or bad habits - Drinking alcohol, being depressed or hanging around with negative people who only give you sympathy is not a solutionKeep a journal or video or pictures (or all) of these moments. Because one day when you achieve success - all these moments will not only inspire you - it will change someone else’s life too.From a guy who was penniless on the streets of India in 2011.Loy Machedo
