Just
one example of Pay it Forward.
I was traveling interstate to get home when I got so tired that
I had to pull over at a rest stop and get a couple of hours sleep.
Before I left the rest stop, I was approached by some (3) guys who
had a dead battery in their vehicle. It was a little scary, since
it was three a.m. in the middle of nowhere. Since I had my Pitbull
dog in the car with me, I thought that I would take the chance to
help them. After I dug out the jumper cables, and jumped their car,
they offered to pay me. I didn't feel right taking money to help
someone in need, so I just asked them to do a favor or do something
nice for someone else, if they really wanted to pay me back. I didn't
go into the Pay it Forward movie or philosophy, since they were
from Russia, and I'm not sure how much English that they understood,
so I kept it simple. I don't know if they ever did Pay it Forward,
but I did ask them to in simple language.
