TED Talk #18 A Life Lesson from a Volunteer Firefighter

Even though we're apart now, it's not going to stop TED Talk Fridays!  

Here's a great talk that may inspire you. 

Volunteer firefighter Mark Bezos tells a story of an act of heroism that didn't go quite as expected -- but that taught him a big lesson: Don't wait to be a hero.

Think about the little acts of kindness you can do for your friends and loved ones now.  We need that kindness now more than anything.  

Remember those gifts that Anne made for her family for Haunnukah? They meant the world to them!  

Your homework this weekend is to find small ways you can brighten the day of the people around you.  It's not about grand gestures and expensive presents, but maybe doing the dishes, reading a book with a younger sister or brother, making a picture, playing a game together, or even an IOU when you do 20 minutes of whatever they ask :)  Mrs. Frank liked that one, right?  I'm sure your family would too. 

Now is your chance!  I challenge you!
