Bowers' wife died, and he was left alone with his son. Unfortunately, my son fell seriously ill and needed $2000 for treatment. Two thousand dollars was not much, but it was a lot of money for Bowers, who was destitute. Bowers asked his neighbors and friends to lend him money. But no one would lend him money because they were afraid he would not be able to pay it back. Bowers was desperate and anxious.
Suddenly Balls thought of Rich John. John's villa is nearby, but he rarely lives here. There is only one security guard in the villa, Mark. Bowers thought there must be a lot of valuable things in the villa. If he could steal any of them, he could save his son's life. So he went to the outside of the villa, after looking around, he saw a hole in the south side of the villa to get into.
In the evening Bowers came to the south entrance of the villa. He prayed to heaven and said, "God, forgive me! I can't watch my son die. I need $2,000 for his medical treatment. It was all I could do to save him." Then Bowers bent down into the hole. Bowers, a small man, got through the hole without much effort.
Bowers tiptoed into the hall with his flashlight. His eyes twinkled: There was a wad of money on the end table. Powers quickly grabbed the money and counted it, exactly two thousand dollars. Bowers was overjoyed: "My God! This is amazing. I need $2,000. Give me $2,000! I'll pay you back when I have the money! '
The next day, Bowers took his son to the hospital. Because of that money, the son was saved.
It wasn't long before the daughter of Bowers's neighbor, Imi, contracted his son's disease and needed $2,000 for treatment. But Immy's husband had died young, and she and her daughter had been dependent on each other, and her family was as poor as the Bowers. I, who have no money, go out every day to ask neighbors and relatives to borrow money, but every time he gets rejected. Bowers looked at the distraught Immy and was so upset that he decided to go back to the villa.
That evening Bowers went to the south side of the villa and approached the entrance to the cave. He said, "God, forgive me again! Imi's daughter was sick and needed $2,000 for medical treatment, but her family was destitute. It was the only thing I could do to save my child." Then Bowers bent down and went through the hole again.
Bowers tiptoed into the hall with his flashlight. Another wad of money lay on the end table. Bowers hurried up and picked up the money, no more, no less, and exactly two thousand dollars. Bowers was overjoyed: "My God! This is amazing. I need $2,000. Give me $2,000! I'll pay you back when I have the money! '
The next day, Powers gave Immy the money and told her to take her daughter to the hospital. I was so grateful that she took the money and went to the hospital with her daughter.
When Immy's daughter recovered from her illness, she came to Bowers and said she didn't know how to thank him. She said she would be his son's mother and help them wash and cook. Bowers, who had long wanted to become a family with Immy, agreed happily at once.
When the two families became a family, Bowers thought it would be difficult to make ends meet if he only worked odd jobs. After much thought, Powers decided to open a store. But he calculated that it would cost at least $5,000. How to do? Again Powers thought of the villa.
In the evening Bowers came again to the hole in the south wall of the villa. He said, "God, forgive me again! I need $5,000 to open a small shop for Immy and the two children." Then Powers went through the hole again.
Bowers walked into the hall with his flashlight. There was another wad of money on the coffee table, just as there had been the previous two times, only it looked bigger. Bowers picked it up and counted it, exactly $5,000. Bowers was overjoyed: "My God! Thank you very much! I'll pay you back when I have the money! '
Bowers' little shop opened. Because he is a dutiful man, honest management, nearby people all go to his small shop to buy things, but for half a year, he made a lot of money.
One night, Powers entered the villa with $9,000. He left the money and a note on the coffee table in the hall and quietly left. The note read: "Dear God, I have borrowed money from you three times for a total of $9,000. Now I'll pay you back. Thank you so much for helping my family!"
The next morning, Powers opened his door and saw an envelope on the floor. It was the same $9,000 that had been returned last night. Inside was a note: "Mr. Bowers, I'm glad to see the money you paid back. You still keep the money, the variety of goods richer, this is convenient for everyone, you can also earn more money, let your family live a good life!"
Early on, Bowers considered whether to hold off on paying the money and use it to diversify. But finally, he decided to pay the money first, he can not break his promise, and can not take other people's money to get rich. Unexpectedly, God knew his situation and sent money to his hands. With tears in his eyes, Powers said, "My God, I thank you so much!"
Many years later, Powers became a rich man. He owns a supermarket and has opened many branches all over the country.
One day, Bowers walked up to John's villa. He took out a set of keys and opened the door. Mark, the security guard, who was now old, was surprised when Bowers came in. "Mr. Bowers, do you have a key to the villa?" Powers smiled and nodded. He told Mark that he had bought the villa from John. Mark smiled. "Mr. Bowers, you're going to be the owner of this villa. But will you use an old man like me as a security guard?"
"Mr. Mark, in the future, you will no longer be the security guard of this villa!" Bowers thrust the key of the cottage into Mark's hand. "From now on, you are the master of this cottage!" "You gave me the villa?" Mark looked puzzled. "Why did you give me a villa?" Bowers smiled and replied, "Because you helped me. Without you, I would not be here today."
Bowers, it turns out, used to get money from the end tables at the villa where Mark was the only person living, and then he realized that Mark was helping him. Why was Mark so aware of his needs? Mark had suspected he was up to something when he looked around the villa before his first visit. Sure enough, he came in the evening. Before each drill, Bowers said what he wanted, so Mark could hear him. Mark couldn't bear to let Bowers down, so he helped him again and again. Mark often went to Bowers' store to buy things. When he found something the store didn't have, Mark knew it was because Bowers was short of money, so he quietly returned the $9,000.
"I've been working here as a security guard and have developed an attachment to the house," Mark concluded. I used to think how happy it would be if my family lived here! I didn't think you gave me the villa today! How wonderful! You are my God!"
Powers smiled and said, "I am not your God. If there is a God, it is you. It is the love you have given that you deserve to be returned!"

Title: "Jimmy Carter: An American Excursion of Sympathy and Administration"
In the tranquil town of Fields, Georgia, there carried on with a little fellow named Jimmy who had a voracious interest and endless energy. Since the beginning, he longed for having an effect on the planet, enlivened by the tales of extraordinary legends he read about in books. As Jimmy became older, his feeling of direction just escalated. Not entirely settled to make history, to go to bat for what was correct and battle for the people who couldn't battle for themselves. With a heart loaded with desire and a head brimming with dreams, Jimmy set out on an excursion that would lead him to become perhaps of the most cherished and powerful figure in American history. His name was Jimmy Carter. From his unassuming starting points in provincial Georgia to the consecrated corridors of the White House, Jimmy Carter's process was one of boldness, sympathy, and unflinching commitment to serving others. As a young fellow, Jimmy was attracted to the goals of equity and equity, propelled by the social liberties development that was clearing across the South. He chipped in for the Harmony Corps, venturing out to far off towns in Africa to assist with further developing admittance to medical services and schooling. Yet, it was his re-visitation of Georgia that would genuinely show Jimmy the way to significance. Energized by a longing to make positive change in his own local area, Jimmy hurled himself entirely into nearby governmental issues, ultimately ascending to turn into the legislative head of Georgia. His experience as lead representative was set apart by striking changes and moderate approaches, acquiring him public acknowledgment and making way for his possible campaign for the most elevated position in the land. In 1976, Jimmy Carter was chosen Leader of the US in a notable triumph that caught the creative mind of the country. His administration was characterized by a pledge to harmony, discretion, and common liberties, as he worked energetically to facilitate nonaggression treaties, advance natural protection, and champion the freedoms of ladies and minorities. In any case, maybe Jimmy Carter's most prominent inheritance lies not in that frame of mind of force, but rather in the endless lives he contacted through his generous work and philanthropic endeavors. Indeed, even subsequent to leaving office, Jimmy kept on devoting himself to causes more significant than himself, building homes for the destitute, upholding for worldwide wellbeing drives, and energetically attempting to advance harmony and a majority rules government all over the planet. Today, Jimmy Carter is recollected as an incredible pioneer, yet as a genuine American legend whose empathy, honesty, and unflinching devotion to support keep on moving ages of Americans to take a stab at a superior world. In the quiet town of Fields, Georgia, the sun rose over fields of cotton, giving occasion to feel qualms about a warm gleam the unobtrusive home where Jimmy Carter spent his childhood days. Since the beginning, Jimmy was imparted with the upsides of difficult work, lowliness, and empathy by his caring guardians, Lord and Lillian Carter. As a little fellow, Jimmy's creative mind took off as he ate up books about history, science, and the existences of extraordinary pioneers. He was especially attracted to the tales of Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Martin Luther Lord Jr., whose fortitude and vision motivated him to accept that one individual could genuinely have an effect on the planet. Jimmy's hunger for information drove him to succeed in school, where he separated himself as a splendid and aggressive understudy. He fantasized going to the US Maritime Foundation and serving his country as a maritime official, a fantasy that would at last turn into a reality. In the wake of moving on from the Maritime Foundation in 1946, Jimmy left on a recognized military profession, serving on board submarines and ascending through the positions to turn into a regarded official. It was during this time that Jimmy's feeling of obligation and obligation to support developed, as he saw firsthand the penances made by his kindred servicemen and ladies. In any case, Jimmy's life would go off in a strange direction when his dad became sick and died, provoking him to leave the Naval force and get back to Georgia to assume control over the family nut ranch. It was here, in the midst of the fields of peanuts and cotton, that Jimmy would track down his actual reason for living. Driven by a craving to work on the existences of people around him, Jimmy hurled himself entirely into local area activism and nearby governmental issues, in the end ascending to turn into the legislative leader of Georgia in 1971. His residency as lead representative was set apart by a progression of moderate changes, including extending admittance to medical services, further developing schooling, and advancing racial fairness. In 1976, Jimmy Carter sent off his notable mission for the administration, running on a foundation of trustworthiness, uprightness, and sympathy. Despite everything, Jimmy arose triumphant, turning into the 39th Leader of the US and satisfying his life as a youngster fantasy about serving his country at the most elevated level. As president, Jimmy Carter's initiative was characterized by a pledge to discretion, common liberties, and civil rights. He handled noteworthy nonaggression treaties among Israel and Egypt, advocated the privileges of ladies and minorities, and worked enthusiastically to lighten destitution and craving both at home and abroad. Yet, maybe Jimmy Carter's most persevering through inheritance lies in his post-official years, where he has committed himself to compassionate causes and charity through the Carter Community. From killing illnesses like Guinea worm and stream visual deficiency to advancing majority rules government and compromise all over the planet, Jimmy Carter's enthusiastic endeavors have contacted the existences of millions and roused another age of pioneers to emulate his example. Today, Jimmy Carter's heritage lives on as a brilliant illustration of being a genuine American legend - a man of trustworthiness, empathy, and relentless commitment to serving others. From the cotton fields of Fields, Georgia, to the blessed lobbies of the White House and then some, Jimmy Carter's process reminds us generally that with fortitude, assurance, and an unflinching obligation to our qualities, the sky is the limit.

First Starlight of Summer
Your whole being is constituted by yearning. You miss the stars but have never seen a fully-realized night sky sparkle to life before your eyes. You write things, funny but short but profound, emulating the archaic cosmos that turns by its own unknowable calculus emulating love in all its celestial glory turning in that same cryptic way, but fully know neither and hardly know both, and it feels disingenuous, so you write about writers. It feels vaguely masturbatory, but it’s funny but short but profound and it impresses the people around you enough, so you run with it forever until you can’t anymore.
