The story goes like this. After a female executive gave a beggar a credit card without a password ...
If a beggar asked you for money, would you give him your credit card and let him swipe it himself? Moreover, the credit limit of this card is 6,. What's worse, this card has no password! I bet you will say, "Only a madman would do such a thing! ! !”
Let's take a look at this story:
Harris is a female executive of a well-known advertising company in new york, USA. At noon one day in August 21, she had dinner with her friends in a restaurant. Halfway through, my friend wanted to go out for a cigarette, so they walked out of the restaurant together and stood in the street outside.
At this moment, a tramp came and introduced himself to Harris: "My name is Valentine, and I am 32 years old. I have been unemployed for three years, so I have to beg for a living. What I want to say is, I wonder if you are willing to help me? For example, give me some change and let me buy some necessities. " With that, Valentine looked at Harris with expectant eyes. Looking at the young black tramp in front of him, Harris felt pity. She smiled and said to Valentine, "No problem, I am very willing to help you." She reached into her pocket to get money, but unfortunately, she didn't bring any cash with her, only took out a credit card without a password, which made her a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do next.
Valentine saw her embarrassment and whispered, "If you believe me, can you lend me this credit card?" Harris, who is kind-hearted, agreed and handed the credit card to Valentine. After getting the credit card, Valentine didn't leave immediately, and asked Harris in a low voice, "Can I buy another pack of cigarettes with it besides some necessities?" Harris said without thinking, "absolutely. If you need anything else, you can buy it with the money on the card." After Valentine left with the credit card without password, Harris and his friends returned to the restaurant.
After 1 minutes, Harris felt regret. She said to her friend with regret, "That credit card not only didn't have a password, but also contained $1,. That guy must have run away with the credit card, and now I'm in big trouble." Friends also complained about her: "How can you trust a stranger casually? You are just too kind. " Harris didn't want to eat any more. After his friend paid the bill, they silently walked out of the restaurant.
To their surprise, just out of the restaurant gate, Valentine, a tramp, was found waiting outside. He handed Harris his credit card with both hands and respectfully reported the amount he spent: "I spent $25 on my credit card and bought some toiletries, two buckets of water and a pack of cigarettes. Please check it."
In the face of this honest and trustworthy tramp, Harris and her friends were more moved than surprised. She couldn't help grabbing Valentine and saying, "Thank you, thank you!" Valentine looked puzzled. She helped me. I should thank her. Why should she thank me? Later, Harris and his friends went straight to New York Post and told the newspaper what happened.
New York Post was also moved by Valentine's honesty and immediately reported it, which immediately caused great repercussions in the society. The newspaper kept receiving letters and calls from readers, all of whom expressed their willingness to help Valentine. After reading the report, idris elba, a businessman in Texas, remitted $6, to Valentine the next day to reward his honesty. To Valentine's surprise, a few days later, he received a phone call from Wisconsin Airlines, expressing his willingness to recruit him as a flight attendant of the company and informing him to sign a work agreement as soon as possible.
Valentine, immersed in great joy, was filled with emotion: "My mother taught me since I was a child that I must be honest and trustworthy. Even if I am penniless on the street, I can't lose my integrity. The reason why I can get so many people's help is because I always believe that honest people will always be rewarded.
Dear friend, maybe she was out of her mind for a moment, or Harris was too kind. In short, this "stupid thing" she did gave us a chance to see Valentine's honest character! After this $1, integrity test, anyone can think of how beautiful Valentine's future life path is! Dear friend, if the beggar's integrity is worth 6 thousand, how much is your integrity worth?
There will never be a shortage of opportunistic people in the world, but in the face of interests, honest and trustworthy people always inspire respect! A small victory depends on wisdom, and a big victory depends on virtue. Opportunism wins for a while, honesty wins for a lifetime!
Conclusion: In this society with a general lack of honesty, a beggar on the street can still be honest and trustworthy. It is necessary for us to praise him and silently forward such an ordinary and rare story. As the saying goes, no matter how the world changes, no matter how lonely life is, I hope everyone can maintain a most precious integrity! ?
