I suppose I mean most people around the world, despite there being the usual bad apples who'd compromise themselves out of greed or desperation. <br /><br />Thanks for that story. It made me smile this morning.khunbaobaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658046085295050474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274299963162134114.post-45354685450313003062013-01-15T02:10:37.337-08:002013-01-15T02:10:37.337-08:00Many years ago I gave my partner $600 cash I had l...Many years ago I gave my partner $600 cash I had left over from a trip here. When we had a tough time with his mood while he was out of work a year after and had a small disagreement, he came to me one night with the $600 in the same envelope just to prove our relationship is not about money. It was at this time I said time for you to finish school. He borrowed for his first term, then Thai's stop loaning for school and I paid the rest of his BA, and then paid for his Masters after. He is now paying off his loan diligently to the Thai Govt, still refuses any help. He does research projects for other students for cash to pay it off this year. When I saw that $600 that time, when he going though a hard time....I lost it. This last hurdle we had back in 2004. Starting our 13th year, it has been a great learning experience for both of us. He'll never forget the gift of education ...his dream. Perhaps, Dr next?Was Oncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997943977882019444noreply@blogger.com
