Last year，I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off．The pilot's voice was heard throughout the plane “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don't work．We are going to jump-start them．Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens．"

That was all he said．"See what happens. Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that？"At that point,I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying, “OH，no! We are going to crash!”. There are sighs of desperation and anxiety, and we hadn't even taken off yet．

The pilot even seemed unhappy．He told us one engine was working double time and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did．We got up in the air，and what happened？

Nothing．We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief．

All too often, people stop achieving their goals just because they don't have a guaranteed result．But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is to just get up in the air and see what happens．

If your aim is to build a business, then get up in the air and see what happens! Don't give yourself all the reasons why you can't．Do not wait until you have everything you need．You never will．

If your goal is to start a friendship，say"Hello",get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding．If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as you think．It could be fun!

About six years ago, I was sitting on a plane next to a woman who was extremely energetic. I was tired and wanted to take a nap, but she tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself.

"Hi, my name is Helga."

As we talked, it came up that I had started an organization in high school called R.A.K.E. (Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and said to me, "There is nothing more important in the world than kindness."

I was curious about what she had said, and as the plane took off. she began telling me a story about the last time she had flown.

It was three years ago and she was heading back to her hometown because her father had become very ill.

Just as the plane was about to leave, her father's doctor called to inform her that her father had suddenly passed away. For the three hour plane ride, she sat in stunned(受惊的) silence,.

When she arrived at the airport in her hometown, she walked to the nearest bench(长椅),sat down and cried.

For two hours, she sat and wept while thousands of people just walked on by.

"Not a single person stopped and asked if I was OK that day. It was on that day that I realized kindness isn't normal. "

Helga's words have stuck with me for all these years. I'm reminded all the time that for many of us, kindness is not usually our "default setting (默认设置)".

We spend so much time worrying about our own problems that we walk by or ignore other people in need of a bit of kindness.

So, I've made it my mission to do my part in making kindness "normal".

Now, I travel to schools all across the US to speak about compassion(同情),empathy(同感),and love.

I' m proud to share my stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character, compassion, and kindness.

Providing young people with practical ways to exercise kindness makes my job more satisfying than any other I can think of.

And when I give my talks, I always have my conversation with Helga in the back of my mind.

1.We can know from the first four paragraphs that the author___________.

A.was always eager to make friends B.was angry to be disturbed by Helga

C.found Helga a very serious person D.was interested in Helga's story

2.During Helga's trip to her hometown, she___________.

After a particularly busy period at work, I decided to get away from it all by going on a hike in the mountains in southern France.

Before I left, I read an interesting story in a magazine. It read, “Once, while I was riding on a crowded bus, the man sitting next to me threw his cell phone out of the window when his phone rang. I was surprised. He looked at me, shrugged (耸耸肩) and looked away. I had no idea whether it was his or stolen or whether he even knew what a cell phone was or not, but he clearly wanted to be free of it, because it clearly troubled him. ”

I’ve met new people, started conversations with neighbors I didn’t speak to before and talked with some of my friends face to face instead of chatting over the phone.

Instead of keeping me off from the world, stopping using my cell phone has helped me get even closer to my family and friends.
