I had an interesting experience today. There’s an older guy, Jim, in my neighborhood who lives alone. When I walked by Jim’s house on Monday I saw he left a big box next to his recycle bin. The box indicated Jim bought an electric bicycle. My first thought was, good for Jim. I saw him on Tuesday and asked about it. Jim told me he put the bike together but he couldn’t figure out how to make it work. I asked if he wanted some help telling him, “Maybe two guys who refuse to read directions can figure it out.” He laughed and invited me to help him. I went to see him today (Wednesday – that’s when I’m writing this post). When I got to Jim’s house he was beaming. He figured it out and had taken his bike for its maiden voyage. All Jim needed was someone to connect with him and offer to help. I did nothing. He did it all. Now he won’t be as isolated. Who needs your help? Make a difference.
