Here is an encouraging story our owner Sam would like to share with you:

Everyday you and I are given two choices.
One is to be kind, and the other . . to be right. Your choice will determine who you are and how blissful you can be.
When you exercise your right to be right, you may get a moment of instant gratification, but never a peace, joy and bliss which you will have when you choose to be kind.
Kindness, when exercised, it expects nothing, zero, nada in return. It only knows giving for the joy of giving. It is like a one-way ticket to the island of happiness.
It can be as simple as a smile to a stranger, a word of encouragement to a downer, or a recognition for a job well done.
Kindness embraces, embodies love and patience!
Have you ever had someone cutting right in front of you while you driving on the road?
What would you do? honk the horn? Give him the finger? Or scream your lungs out with a word of anger that you and only you could hear? All of these are the result of you lacking patience, which will drain your energy, damage your heart and belittle your soul.
What if you turn that raging emotion into a loving-kind gesture, a wave of your hand ,
or a smile as if saying " I understand"; you, my friend, have just created a beautiful world, his and yours are one in harmony.
An act of kindness can have a lifetime impact . It travels through time, space and touches many generations of humankind.
Come with me . . Going back in time . .
The year was 1966. Do you remember where you were? What you do?
I know you are laughing. . " hey, Sam I am! I was not even born yet."
Yea! I was barely 20 years old and I joined . .
( oh, please, . . don't do the math)
I joined the US Special Forces as a combat interpreter.
As the war escalated, So was I shipped to serve an A team, A232 of Tan tai, a camp deep inside the jungle of central highland of Vietnam.
8 months into my deployment, an incident happened that forever changed my life.
It was a late summer evening,
hot, humid and the juggle seems standing still, quiet, unusually quiet, .
If you had been with me, you would have seen the whole Special Foreces Tanrai camp bathing in a late lazy evening sun.
no birds flying.
No monkeys crying. .
and all of a sudden, the ground was shaken. . Like an earthquake. Then Boom, boom, boom. .boom . . boom. . In very corner of the camp.
You could hear the panicky screaming voices " Attack,
Attack. . take cover" as the artillery rounds landed, exploded inside the camp, sending smoke into the air. Dirt, debris flying everywhere. .
At that chaotic, terrifying moment, I ran , I ran and I crawled for my life into a bunker.
Now, If you are ever scared of watching a war movie, my friend, this will make you
wet your pants!!!
The attack, the counter attack, the exchange of deadly explosive rounds goes on for a good 2 minutes, which feels like eternity, until a gunship comes to silence the enemy firepower.
When all the commotion died out, the attack's over, you can see that no one was hurt, just holes on the ground and tattered sandbags from the explosions. It was a miracle!
The following day, when the dust was settled, the smell of gun smoke is still lingering in the air, my camp commander, captain Ray Striler, 6ft 5, a handsome white guy, in his black pajama, the uniform of the special operations, sees
me in his office, looks at me dead in the eye and says"
"Son, you are too young to get killed in this battlefield. Why don't get your ass out of here tomorrow, okay?.
- What? I am his personal interpreter, the link between him and his Vietnamese counterparts. He needs me; he needs me now more than ever, and he wants to send me away? No way, capt. Ray! I am going to give him a piece of my mind.
- sir, but I want to . .
I see his hand is on his black revolver slung by his side. . and his voice solid like rock.
-" Damned! I don't want to hear any buts. This is an order. Now, get your shit ready by 0800 hrs. You understand?" And he walks away.
That is child abuse!
The following morning, a helicopter landed on the helipad, by the entrance of the camp. Amidst the sound of the running engine, the winds blasting from the spinning rotor blades, I salute my loving-kind young commander, and off to the B team, B23, located in the heart of the city of Banmethuot, which is the headquarters that runs all the A teams in the region.
Three weeks later, a report came from the camp Tan rai. My replacement took a single sniper shot, killed him instantly.
I was stunned, shock and numb at the news. .
That bullet was intended for me for I am the link, the target, and Ray saved my life.
Fast forward. .
2010, in America, that is 44 years later.
( hey, I am doing you a favor, you don't need to do the math!) my family and I were on Christmas break, vacationing at the top of MT Hood, Oregon.
The evening before leaving the snowy mountain, dinner was just over. . dishes are still on the table. . Fireplace is cracking . . flame is flickering, threads of smoke floating up to the ceiling . . Outside, through the glass window, you could see flakes of snow lazily falling into the night.
My oldest son, Lam Le, sitting across the table began a question that I never thought he would ask
- dad, so . If Ray did not ship you out, there wouldn't be mom, wouldn't be me, wouldn't be any body here, right?
My friend, do you feel the enormity, the gravity of the question?
Deepens . . solemn . . and profound.
Minutes slowly passing by, as it feels like. I finally told my son.
- yes, son. If it weren't for Ray, there would be no one here, tonight, at all.
My friend, when you touch someone with your kindness, you have no control of how far, how wide, how deep it goes. It travels through space and time and reaches many generations of mankind.
. Give it a go! . . Be kind . . and touch lives.
