Boss Catches Employee Cooking Rice in the Office - A Conversation With Him Reveals What He Actually Does His Salary
Malaysian entrepreneur Azri Walter was surprised when he saw his employee cooking rice at the office, so he posted it on Facebook.Azri thought he paid his employee, named Habil, enough -- about $240 that week in the local currency. That should be enough to feed himself lunch at the very least.Doing It for His MotherHabil explained that his paycheck wasn't going to himself, but rather, to his mother -- though she never asked for help (these strong women quotes will help you understand)."She didn't ask, but I feel bad for her. If I give her the money, she can use it to buy food and clothes for herself, as well as for my siblings," Habil explained, according to Says.Habil's father died when he was just 19 years old, and he had to move to the big city of Kuala Lumpur to feed his family (read these moving quotes about family).Touched by Habil's story, Azri treated his employee to dinner a few days later. While they ate, Habil explained that he has no regrets about what he was doing.It's okay, sir. I do not know how much longer my mum will be around. While she's still here, I want to make her happy. I don't have anyone else to look after, so it's fine. After all, I'm good at making money on my own now.HabilDon’t Be Afraid to Give BackAzri said in the Facebook post that Habil's story taught him a valuable lesson. "Tonight I learned that we shouldn't be stingy with our parents, especially our mothers," he wrote. "We shouldn't be afraid to give money back to our mothers because God will always provide. To be blessed, we should treat our mothers well."Habil is right. Our mothers gave us everything that they could give when we were younger. Now that we are older, they may even give us things that we do not ask for.Azri WalterMothers Deserve ItThe lesson here is that not everyone's life situation is as it seems. Just because someone looks like they're making a good amount of money, it doesn't mean they aren't supporting loved ones or giving it away to worthy causes. And yes, it's also a reminder to take care of our mothers while they're still around. You and I both know how much they deserve it.More from Goalcast:Boss Thinks Man Is Joking When He Said He Walked 6 Hours to Get To Work – Then a Stranger Makes an Offer He Can’t RefuseStruggling Employee Reveals the Bitter Truth About His Job to Undercover Boss – He Responds by Giving Him a $250,000 HouseUndercover Boss Notices Abusive Manager Is Making an Employee Sob – Steps in With a Response That Leaves Everyone Shocked
Shaq Finds Out One Big Family Was Growing Out of Their 12-Person Van - So He Did Something Unbelievable
Shaquille O'Neal, a.k.a. the Big Diesel, a.k.a. Shaq, made a pledge last year. Every time he leaves the house, he would try to do something good.“I’m into making people happy. Whenever I leave the house, I just try to do a good deed,” he said.Recently, that good deed manifested as buying an engagement ring for a guy who was shopping for one and giving out 1,000 game consoles for Christmas. A couple of weeks ago, Shaq outdid himself yet again with another unbelievably generous gift.Shaq Took a Family of 11 to Dinner and Bought Them 2 New VehiclesHis good deed started off by taking a family with 9 kids out for dinner (got a big family? Read these family sayings). Feeding that many children and parents is undoubtedly going to cost a pretty penny, but that was just the beginning.Upon learning that the family was growing out of their 12-person van, he took them to a Mercedes dealership and bought them a custom 15-passenger van. "I have no words right now!!! Today Shaq @shaq blessed us like never before," said the Collins family on Instagram. "Like literally no words."Shaq Then Tipped a Waitress $1000 After He Learned About Her Car Trouble But that wasn't the end of it. Shaq also bought them all out for dinner at Rainforest Café and tipped the waitress $1,000 as she was experiencing car trouble. Then, he bought the father a brand new Ford truck because the A/C and heating weren't working in his old one."He also spent time encouraging us and loving on our children and speaking life into our family," the family wrote. "Somebody wake me up because I must be dreaming."Thank you @shaq times a million times!!! You have been such a blessing to us in so many ways.The Collins familyShaquille O’Neal Revealed His Parents Inspired Him to Give BackSpeaking with Gary Vaynerchuk on The Gary Vee Audio Experience podcast, Shaq said this urge to give to others came from his parents."You know for me, coming from where I come from, my father was a drill sergeant, my mother just was a hard-working woman. Didn't have a lot. But they taught me the value of giving back. They taught me the value of helping those in need," Shaq said.So a huge thank you to Shaq's parents, but a special thanks to the big man himself for showing us that kindness knows no bounds.More from Goalcast:Neighbors Call Police on Boys for Playing “Too Loudly” – Shaquille O’Neal Finds Out and Shows Up to Do ThisShaq Visits His Favorite Restaurant With an Unusual Request – Then, He Shocks the Watchful Owner With a SurpriseYoung Boy Sobs in the Middle of a Store – Little Did He Know Shaquille O’Neal Was About to Teach Him a Lesson
62-Year-Old Homeless Man Is Forced to Sleep in a Cardboard Box - But One Discovery Changes His Life
John Helinski, 62, had spent years living on the streets. In particular, a cardboard box at a Tampa Bay bus stop. "I just managed on my own. Sleeping underneath the benches there and no one would see me (sic)," Helinski said.That's where homeless liaison officer Daniel McDonald found him and brought him to the Drug Abuse and Comprehensive Coordinating Office Inc. (DACCO), a 24-hour centre for helping disadvantaged people find housing (check out these motivational quotes to help you rise above any dilemma you may face).Officers Track Down the Homeless Man’s Lost Identification PapersMcDonald didn't just stop there. He helped Helinski track down his lost identification papers. “As a homeless liaison officer, the bread and butter of my work often involves hopping department to department trying to help homeless people find the ID they need in order to get things like work and housing,” McDonald told ABC. “We’re uniformed cops with police cars, but we want homeless people to trust us,” he added. “Our job is not to arrest someone. It’s to help them. Homeless people are still accountable to the law, but they’re now starting to see we can be trusted, and this new model and field of policing is gaining popularity very quickly, I think.”A Forgotten Bank Account With Plenty of Money Is DiscoveredAt DACCO, case manager Charles Inman worked with McDonald to track down Helinski's papers. Helinski mentioned that he was born in Poland, but was a U.S. citizen and recalled having social security payments which was canceled.So Inman and McDonald worked together to go to the local tax collector's office and got him a temporary State of Florida ID card. Then, they successfully got Helinski's birth record from the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs.With those two documents, they went to the Social Security office to ask why Helinski wasn't receiving payments. It turned out he had, though he had lost his debit card and had no access to the bank account the money was being deposited into.How Two Officers Made It Their Mission to Save a Man From HomelessnessWhen Helinski finally got into his account, he had plenty of money in there -- enough to put a down payment on a modest home.Inman and McDonald said they were very happy Helinski would be off the streets.This situation looked really difficult, and I wasn’t sure how it was going to end up. If it failed, it meant we’d put a 62-year-old man on the street, and Officer McDonald and I were not OK with that.Charles Inman to ABC NewsWhat's the difference between someone living on the street and someone in a home? Often, especially in America, it's bad luck -- and that's what happened here. What this story proves is that, sometimes all that's needed to turn a life around is a helping hand.More from Goalcast:White Castle Employee Feeds a Homeless 16-Year-Old Down on Her Luck – Years Later, She Decides to Get Married ThereSingle Mom of 6 Has Struggled With Homelessness – So High School Students Plot Together and Come Up With a PlanCouple Notices Homeless Man in Wheelchair Struggling to Get Up a Hill – They Didn’t Know Their Next Move Would Change His Life
Plumber in $10,000 Debt Refuses to Charge Elderly Woman for His Services - But Then She Receives a Receipt From Him
James Anderson is a father, a plumber, and to many in the United Kingdom, a "godsend."In 2017, Anderson closed his private business and devoted himself entirely to helping disabled and elderly people with their plumbing issues -- for free (with that said, here are some kindness quotes).Why a Plumber Didn’t Charge an Elderly WomanAnderson made the decision to entirely commit to not-for-profit work when a receipt that was posted online went viral. It showed that he charged a 91-year-old woman with acute leukemia £0 for the job."No charge for this lady under any circumstances," he wrote, as shared by Metro UK. "We will be available 24 hours to help her and keep her as comfortable as possible."Why One Man Isn’t Worried About Being in $10,000 DebtTo do this saintly work, Anderson has gone into £8,000 of debt -- but he isn't too worried about it."To me, debt is debt… I would rather owe some money to somebody and another person be alive and happy and safe," he told Metro UK (Here's how to get out of debt).It’s an ethos that’s in my heart and it will always stay there.James AndersonWhy One Plumber Is Being Called a ‘Godsend'To pay for his supplies and costs, Anderson launched a fundraising campaign that pulled in £49,309 over the 42 days it was live.During the campaign, he filmed heartwarming videos with some of the people he helped, including this one:Anderson's work might not be as popular as supporting those impacted by war or hunger, but it's necessary nonetheless. "I don’t want any person who is elderly and disabled in this country, in this day and age, to die or suffer because of a cold home or a lack of funding to repair the boiler," he said. "It shouldn’t be happening -- that number should be down to zero. Simple as that."Help Others in Unexpected WaysThere is a serious problem in our society when disabled people and our elders -- our moms and dads, sisters and brothers -- don't have enough money to fix their broken toilets or showers. Sadly, without someone like a child to look after them, these people can be forgotten.Fortunately, the world still has people who use their skills for good, like James Anderson did. The lesson here is to help someone in need -- it can really mean the world to them.More from Goalcast:Frail Elderly Woman Dines All Alone at Cracker Barrel – Then, Strangers Witness Three “Big Burly” Men Walk Up to HerConstruction Worker Waves at Elderly Woman Looking Through a Window – Later, She Writes Him a Note That “Crushed” HimBus Driver Suddenly Stops While on Her Usual Route – Surprised Passengers Witness the Exchange She Has With an Elderly Woman
