Let's Talk About Words

     Louis Auchincloss said, "Keep doing good deeds long enough and you'll probably turn out a good man in spite of yourself". According to this quote, the action of doing good deeds can actually help a someone become a   good  person, yet I believe the purpose of helping others must be in their thoughts as well. I know from my own experience that I often feel that don't have enough time in the day when I offer to help someone or volunteer, but once I do it, I feel great and wonder why I don't do more.

I learned how to cook, clean, pay bills, shovel snow, mow the lawn, check my oil, do laundry, hook up electronics, paint a room and more. My mother and father expected a lot from me, but they also taught me by their example. My father was very hard working, and my mother still is. Because I have always been able to do much of what I set my mind to do, I rarely had to ask for help. That can have a negative effect though because it often enabled others to do less or made them believe that I didn't think that they could do it we...
