As I was halfway home, my wife told me by phone that a friend of ours was in and needed a lift（搭便车）home. My mind said，“I will help him I get the meal.” But my mouth said，“All right, I’ll give him a .”
He jumped in the car with a smile on his face and repeated how he was that I would drive him home. He told me he usually walked home from his company but that day the stopped him from making that journey because he didn’t have an umbrella.

So you will feel yourself helpful and useful when you 15 more about others.
