A Priceless Lesson in Humility
A few years ago,I took a sightseeing trip to Washington,D.C.Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center,I heard a voice say,“Can you help me?”I turned around and saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended.Without thinking,I reached into my pocket,
pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand.
But the blind woman smiled and said,“I dont want your money.I just need help finding the post office.”In a moment,I realized what I had done.I had acted out of prejudice.
I hated what I saw in myself.This incident reawakened my basic belief.I
believed in humility,eventhough I had failed to do so for a moment.
The thing I had forgotten about myself was that I am an immigrant.I came to the U.S.at the age of 15.Over the years,I had been a dishwasher,cashier and mechanic,and eventually I
became a network engineer.
In my own life,I have experienced many open acts of prejudice.I remember a time, when I was a waiter,I heard a father tell his little boy that,if he did not do well in school,he would end up like me.So I know what it is like.
But now,living in my American middle-class lifestyle,I find it all too easy to forget my past,to forget who I am and where I have been.That blind woman cured me of my “blindness.”She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open.

and what makes plants grow.
③ Another thing that needs to be done is to find a good teacher.A positive role model will inspire your daughter.So you need to introduce her to a family friend or community member
who can show her around a chemical lab or architecturefirm.
④ You should also involve your daughter in activities with other children.She can design a
birthday party with a scientific theme.She can go to a science museum with her friends.She can work on a construction project with her classmates.In this way your daughter will always have fun.
