The image of the child musician crying was classified as one of the most emotional photographs of modern history.

This photo was taken of a 12-year-old Brazilian boy (Diego Frazzo Turkato), playing the violin at the funeral of his teacher who rescued him from the environment of poverty and crime in which he lived.

In this image, humanity speaks with the strongest voice in the world:
"Cultivate love and kindness in a child to sow the seeds of compassion. And only then you will build a great civilization, a great nation ".

"Hi- I asked my local Harris Teeter grocery store in Virginia if they had a shopping cart that I could put my 91 year old mother in. She likes to go with me to get her groceries but can no longer walk all the isles. The options left me are to leave her in the car with it running or she has to stay at home. Neither were good options.
Turns out they had a Caroline's Cart and it worked perfect! I feel like your company has created a resource that could be so wonderful for elderly seniors. Looking at the options in the lobby for carts, are the regular ones, mini versions for children and motorized which is wonderful for those who still have the skill set for driving. Nothing for elderly who have limited physical abilities at advanced ages but who still live and home and like to get out. By including seniors, caregivers can give seniors an option to get out of their recliners and back into the stores and living.
It was a wonderful product! Thank you!!" ❤

Meet Madam Jeanne Louise Calment, who had the longest confirmed human lifespan: 122 years, 164 days. Apparently, fate strongly approved of the way she lived her life. She was born in Arles, France, on February 21, 1875. The Eiffel Tower was built when she was 14 years old. It was at this time she met Vincent van Gogh. "He was dirty, badly dressed, and disagreeable," she recalled in an interview given in 1988.
When she was 85, she took up fencing, and still rode her bike when she reached 100. At the age of 114, she starred in a film about her life, at age 115 she had an operation on her hip, and at age 117 she gave up smoking, having started at the age of 21 in 1896. She didn't give it up for health reasons; her reason was that she didn't like having to ask someone to help her light a cigarette once she was nearly blind.
In 1965, Jeanne was 90 years old and had no heirs. She signed a deal to sell her apartment to a 47-year-old lawyer called André-François Raffray. He agreed to pay her a monthly sum of 2,500 francs on the condition he would inherit her apartment after she died. However, Raffray not only ended up paying Jeanne for 30 years, but then died before she did at the age of 77. His widow was legally obliged to continue paying Madam Calment until the end of her days.
Jeanne retained sharp mental faculties. When she was asked on her 120th birthday what kind of future she expected to have. Her reply, "A very short one."
Here are the Rules of Life from Jeanne Louise Calment:
"I'm in love with wine."
"All babies are beautiful."
"I think I will die of laughter."
"I've been forgotten by our Good Lord."
"I've got only one wrinkle, and I'm sitting on it."
"I never wear mascara; I laugh until I cry often."
"If you can't change something, don't worry about it."
"Always keep your smile. That's how I explain my long life."
"I see badly, I hear badly, and I feel bad, but everything's fine."
"I have a huge desire to live and a big appetite, especially for sweets."
"I have legs of iron, but to tell you the truth, they're starting to rust and buckle a bit."
"I took pleasure when I could. I acted clearly and morally and without regret. I'm very lucky."
“Being young is a state of mind, it doesn’t depend on one’s body. I’m actually still a young girl, it's just that I haven't looked so good for the past 70 years."
At the end of one interview, the journalist said, "Madame, I hope we will meet again sometime next year." To which Jeanne replied, "Why not? You're not that old; you'll still be here!”

”I have no idea who you are but today I sat and watched you for about 15 minutes help a homeless man. I watched you give him your sneakers which looked brand new and then you took off your socks and stood there barefoot while you took his socks off him which had a huge hole and then you wipes his foot with a baby wipe you had in your car. You put the socks and sneakers on him. You helped him take off his shirt and you put a shirt on him that you had in your car and then gave him a pair of shorts you had along with bottles of water and money. All the while people walked right past you staring. You had no idea anyone was watching, you weren’t videoing it like everyone else does and then posting it online for recognition. You did it out of the goodness of your heart . I hope that somehow , someway this post finds you so you know that my daughter and I think you are one amazing, good hearted selfless person. You are what a man should be. No good deed goes unnoticed💛keep being you.”

“Our generation is so busy trying to prove that women can do everything men can do, women are losing the unique qualities that set us apart. The God-given femininity & unique way our Creator designed us. Women weren't created to do everything a man can do.... Women were created to do everything a man can't do." - unknown

The lioness does not try to be the lion. She embraces her role as the lioness. She is powerful, strong, and nurturing. She does not mistake her meekness for weakness. The world needs more kind, compassionate, humble, faithful, persevering, confident, fierce, bold, pure, and tender-hearted women.
Be one of them. 🌹

The famous Italian diver Enzo Mallorca was diving in the sea near Syracuse with his daughter Rossana, who was on the boat.
As he descended, he felt something lightly hit him on the back. He turned and saw a dolphin. Then I realized that he did not want to play, but said something.
The animal dived and Enzo followed.
At a depth of about 12 feet, there was another dolphin caught in an abandoned net.
Mallorca quickly asked his daughter to give him a diving knife. In a few minutes, they managed to free the dolphin, which, with the last of his strength, let out an ′′almost human cry′′ (as Mallorca himself put it).
A dolphin can survive under water for up to 10 minutes, then it sinks.
The freed, still dazed dolphin Enzo, Rossan and another dolphin were brought to the surface. And then it suddenly turned out: it was a dolphin, who soon gave birth to a dolphin.
Dolphin - father made a circle, swam up to Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss) - a gesture of gratitude... and swam away.
After all that had happened, Enzo said: "until a person learns to respect nature and talk to the animal world, he will never know his true role on Earth."

The measure of a man
is not his muscles or money
The true strength of a man
is most evident when
his soul shines and
no one is looking 💓

A teacher gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it and throw it in the hallway. The teacher then mixed all the balloons. The students were then given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon.

At that point, the teacher told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloon.

The teacher said to the students: "These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness, we'll find ours too."

May your day be filled with happiness.

LaVonte Dell was recently pulled over, writing on his page:
"Yesterday I was pulled over in Westland for my window tint.
This stop was nothin like I thought it would be. He got my s—t and was walking back to the car and seen my daughter wasn’t in a car seat. So he asked me to get out and speak with him.
He asked why didn’t she have one and I told him all I been thru this year like I barely making it because of these garnishments and I really don’t like asking people for (stuff).
Do you know this white police officer told me to follow him to Walmart on Ford road and he purchased my daughter a car seat with his own money. If you would have seen us in Walmart u would have thought we were best friends. It was like night and day.
U got me hella tats walkin side by side with a white officer Westland at that. I’ve been calling all day trying to get his name because I was so in shock. I didn’t even look at his name tag.
Never judge a book by it’s cover it’s most def is some good guys left. I told him I never met a officer like u.
He said I’m just doing my job what good would giving u a ticket do besides putting u further in the hole making it harder on you to come up."
Westward Police Department posted shortly thereafter.
"The Westland Police Department would like to express how proud we are of the officer responsible, Officer Joshua Scaglione.
We would also like to thank the driver, LaVonte Dell for coming forward and sharing this experience with us.
In a world filled with negative stories, the fact that you shared yours has had an unbelievably positive impact on all of us.
Thank you.
--Westland Police Department."

If this isn't the truth 😂😂😂

Play hard and keep pushing!
