Teach a man to fish...

Most homeless people that I have met would look at an offer of either $100 cash or learn a new skill and take the cash.  No question.  Few would look at the opportunity to learn as a good option.  But one young man made that offer in NY and the homeless man took the opportunity to learn.  As such, in just three months the homeless man has now learned basic coding skills and has launched his first App to help people arrange carpools.  Both sides to this story shows the best that the American Dream has to offer.  One man showed kindness larger than just throwing a few dollars in a donation bin.  One man was offered an opportunity that required him to work and he took it and is now on a road that can lead him to success. He didn't take the easy money that would have lasted a few days.  He chose to work on something bigger and now has an opportunity to make a new career for himself.  I wish there were more like both of them in the world.
