Question

Will you put other’s needs before your own?What      will you get if you do?Here is an experience of mine.

It was a wet day and I had a      time. I was busy and everyone I talked to was in a bad mood. What’s more，I went out without breakfast and I left my      at home. So I couldn’t get lunch and was terribly hungry.

When I finshed my work，I      to ask my wife to meet me at the door with some money so that I could quickly go to buy      .Then I quickly made my way home in hope of eating my      meal of the day at 5：00 p.m.

As I was halfway home，my wife told me by phone that a friend of ours was in      and needed a lift（搭便车）home. My mind said，“I will get him      I get the meal.”But my mouth said，“All right,I’ll give him a      .”

He jumped in the car with a smile on his face and repeated how      he was that I would drive him home. He told me he usually walked home from his company but that day the      stopped him from making that journey.

Traffic was a      . A drive to him normally took 10 minutes but that day it took 30 minutes.

Now you would guess the person that I was helping is a      friend of mine. But，in fact，he is a friend of a friend.

I wonder if I will ever see this person again but I feel glad I was there when he      me.

So you will feel yourself helpful and useful when you 15 more about others.
