Kindness and honesty do not go unnoticed. Nowadays, many people consider honesty as stupidity or weakness because they believe that kindness and honesty cannot lead to success in life.
However, kindness and honesty remain the most important traits of a person.
This story is a very good example that one can be both kind, honest, and successful.
The homeless man named Elmer Alvarez was living on the streets and begging for money.
One day, he found a check on the ground for $10,000. The check had the first and last name of the owner written on it. Elmer had a good idea to find the owner.
He went to his relative’s house, who had access to the internet, and started searching for the owner on social networks.
The owner was Roberta Hosky, the owner of an organization. Elmer called her and told her everything.
When she came and saw that this kind man was homeless, she was surprised because most homeless people might have considered the check as a gift from God and not returned it to the owner.
Roberta took the check and, as a gesture of gratitude, provided him with accommodation and a free English course.
The man was very happy and was certain that his life had completely changed from that moment on.
