I was so excited to read in the New York Times today proof that honesty pays!
Apparently, a homeless man, David Tally found $3000.00 in an abondoned backpack and turned it in to the Tempe, Arizon Community Action Agency. They were able to find the owner, a college student. Word of his honesty spread and it's come back to him. People have sent him checks totaling more than the 3k, he's had job offers and Mayor Hugh Hallmand declared it Dave Tally Day!
It just goes to show you that one good deed gets another.

30 Second Manners
The next time you say hello to someone, look them in the eyes. Hello is a greeting; not just a word you blurt out like a sneeze. If you're lucky enough the person you say hello to responds...ask them how they are...sincerely. Sincere is the key word here. You will be amazed at the responses you get. It will open all kinds of doors for you literally.
