Being a teacher I try to be an example to my pupils. Everyday I do my best helping other people. In my humble opinion this is something we should do everyday.

Hi Tara,
First, thank you for the short audio news report and also for choosing good news because I believe the good news gives to your students positive energy.
Second, one subject isn’t clear for us because we don’t know that what was important for the Chinese man ( the ring worth over $44,000 US dollars or loving to his girlfriend) who offered to buy spicy noodles for the next 5,000 customers after his backpack was turned in at the restaurant?
I guess loving to his girlfriend was important for him that treated 5,000 customers to free noodles because I myself as a man believe the love is the strongest thing for a man in his life (my opinion). I myself am ready to do everything for my love.
Tara,
Thank you for good news.
Have a great weekend,
Bijan from the Persian Gulf
