World boxing champion built 1,000 houses for poor Filipinos

Once upon a time, Manny Pacquiao was an ordinary Filipino boy from a poor family, but now he is the only boxer in the world to win the world championship in 8 weight categories. With his first large fee, he built houses for the residents of his home village of Tango. Today, a thousand houses have already been built with his money.

Syrian man stayed in abandoned Aleppo to take care of cats

Alaa Jaleel from Aleppo risked his life every day to provide food and shelter to those in need. And when people left the city, he stayed to take care of their pets. He has more than a hundred cats, including a kitten that one little girl left him when she left. “I said I would take care of him until she came back,” Ala says.

The teacher organized a "Gentlemen's Club" for boys from single-parent families

Raymond Nelson is a teacher in a South Carolina school. He had trouble dealing with the bullies in his class. So he bought jackets and ties and created a “Gentlemen’s Club”, where boys learn once a week what fathers usually tell their sons: how to tie ties, how to address elders and how to be polite to your mother, grandmother or sister. Nelson's strict dress code serves a purpose, because a man wearing a tuxedo wouldn't fight. “I understand that they behave badly not because they are bad, but because they simply lack attention and love,” says the teacher.

Danish woman rescues two-year-old Nigerian boy abandoned by his parents

Almost a year has passed since Danish woman Anja Ringgren Loven found an emaciated two-year-old baby on the street. She named him Hope. His own parents kicked the boy out of the house, considering him a “sorcerer.” Then he was a little over a year old, and he survived only thanks to handouts from passers-by. Anya took him to her shelter, which she shares with her husband, David Emmanuel Umem. 35 rescued children from one to 14 years old live there.

When Anya posted a photo with Hope on Facebook, users from all over the world began to transfer money to her. A total of $1 million was raised. Anya and her husband have plans for a large orphanage and a clinic for children. And Hope now does not at all resemble a “skeleton on legs.” This is a cheerful baby who, according to his adoptive mother, “enjoys life to the fullest.”

Runner sacrifices future medal to help injured rival

At the Olympics, in the 5,000-meter race, New Zealand runner Nikki Hambly faced American Abby D'Agostino. Nikki helped her opponent up, and then they ran together, supporting each other. Both athletes not only qualified for the finals, but were also awarded the Pierre de Coubertin medal for demonstrating nobility and the true spirit of sport during the Olympic Games.

Thousands of people supported the girl whose birthday no one came to

None of the invitees came to 18-year-old Hallee Sorenson's birthday party. Then her cousin Rebecca asked netizens to support Halle with a card with a few kind words. And something amazing happened - a post office in Maine was flooded with letters and postcards. In total, the girl received 10 thousand cards and gifts.

Schoolchildren repeated graduation ceremony for their classmate who was in a car accident

Scott Dunn was in a serious car accident just before his graduation. After waking up from his coma, Scott was terribly upset that he had missed such an important day. But as soon as the young man began to recover, the school principal called his parents and said: “We want to do something special for your son.” It turned out that Scott's classmates had prepared a personal graduation for him. The celebration, congratulatory speeches, and graduation outfits were repeated, but this time only one diploma was awarded. Scott was shocked to the core: “I have no words. It’s incredible to realize how many people actually care about me.”

A homeless Thai man received housing and a job in gratitude for his honest deed

A 44-year-old homeless Thai man named Waralop found a wallet at a metro station. Despite the fact that he had no money at all, and in his wallet there were 20 thousand baht ($580) and credit cards, he did not spend them on his needs, but took the find to the police. The owner of the wallet turned out to be 30-year-old factory owner Niity Pongkriangyos, who was amazed by the homeless man's honesty. He admitted that if he himself had found himself in such a situation, he would hardly have returned the wallet. In gratitude, Niiti provided Varalop with a service apartment and gave him work in his factory. Now the former homeless man earns 11 thousand baht ($317) a month and no longer sleeps in the subway.

In Altai, a fisherman rescued a drowning moose from an ice hole.

Barnaul resident Ivan Drachev was returning from fishing and noticed a moose that had fallen through the ice. On the third attempt, Ivan threw a rope lasso over its hoof and pulled the animal out. The elk was very cold and shivering, so we had to rub him. “It was funny when I sat down next to him, he put his muzzle on my knee and snorted. It seems like a cow, but it understands everything,” Ivan wrote on his blog.

Every day around the world, ordinary people do good deeds to help others. No one will know about some actions, but some become public and become an example for us. Here are a few good deeds that were memorable in 2016.

1. The world boxing champion spent his fee on housing for fellow villagers

Manny Pacquiao is the only boxer in the world to become a world champion in eight different categories. The Filipino spent his first large fee on building houses for fellow villagers in his native village of Tongo. A thousand houses have already been built in Tongo with the boxer’s money. But before his stellar career, Manny Pacquiao was a poor Filipino boy.

2. A Danish woman sheltered and saved a boy from starvation

Danish native Anya Ringgren Loven met an emaciated African boy on the street almost a year ago. His parents kicked him out of the house, considering him a “sorcerer.” She took him to live in her orphanage, which she organized together with her husband. Before this, the couple had already sheltered 35 children under the age of 14.

When a photo of an emaciated boy went online, money began to be transferred from all over the world in support of Anya. In total, they raised $1 million, which the couple wants to spend on building a children's clinic and a large orphanage.

Within a year the boy recovered and now looks like a healthy child. According to his adoptive mother, “he enjoys life.”

3. Syrian man stayed in Aleppo to take care of animals

Ala Jalil defended other residents of Aleppo, risking his life. When the population left the city, he stayed to take care of their pets. Within a year, he had more than 100 cats at the shelter. Ala goes to neighboring villages to visit the animals and spends $4 a day on feeding them.

“He who shows mercy to man is merciful to all living things,” said Mohammed.

4. The girl who was left alone on her birthday was supported by thousands of people

None of the invited guests came to American Halle Sorenson’s 18th birthday. Her sister Rebecca asked to support the birthday girl on a social network. Surprisingly, thousands of people responded. They sent Halla 10 thousand cards and gifts. Parcels even came from soldiers from Afghanistan and NASA.

5. A resident of Altai saved a deer at the risk of his life

Barnaul resident Ivan Drachev, while fishing, saw a deer floundering in an ice hole. The animal was already exhausted. The deer fell under the water right in the middle of the channel. The fisherman called the Ministry of Emergency Situations, but they refused to help. Then he decided to save the animal himself.

Ivan called his father and asked him to bring an anchor rope and an ax. They carefully approached the hole from both sides and threw a rope around the animal’s neck, then turned it over on its side. By chance, the animal's front hooves landed on the ice. The men dragged the deer to the shore for about 20 meters. Then the same number of people pulled him towards the center of the island.

Fishermen rubbed the frozen animal to warm it up. And the deer laid its head on Ivan’s knee. “He understands everything,” says the savior. After some time, the deer regained its strength and was able to get up and go into the forest.

1. (38 words) In Pushkin’s novel “The Captain’s Daughter,” Peter acted nobly when he gave his sheepskin coat to Pugachev. Grinev disregarded class barriers and helped the common man without demanding anything in return. This is where the true nobility of the soul is expressed. Respecting him, the chieftain even spared the enemy.
2. (50 words) In Kuprin’s work “The Wonderful Doctor,” the hero saved strangers from death in a damp basement. He gave them free medicine and left money on the table, even though they didn’t ask him for anything. I see nobility in his action, because Pirogov helped the Mertsalov family free of charge and voluntarily, without expecting praise.
3. (57 words) In Kuprin’s work “The Duel,” Romashov was truly noble towards Shurochka. He agreed not to shoot her husband in a duel because of only one request from a woman who was parting with him forever. He paid for this quality, receiving a mortal wound from a treacherous enemy. However, his example still inspires me to meet people halfway and keep my word.
4. (39 words) In Pushkin’s novel “Eugene Onegin” Tatyana is a very noble girl. In order to remain faithful to her husband, she rejects her first and only love. Her decision elevates her above a society where everyone boasts about their origins without being a truly noble person.
5. (54 words) In Dostoevsky’s novel “Poor People,” the hero is a small man, a modest tradesman, but it is his heart that is distinguished by its nobility, but more noble and rich people will never be able to equal him. Makar alone takes part in the fate of the unfortunate Varenka and gives the girl all his savings not out of self-interest, but out of pity and love for her.
6. (57 words) In Fonvizin’s comedy “The Minor,” Starodum teaches the reader nobility, talking about true and false virtues. Power, origin and wealth in his time meant nothing in comparison with talent, courage and intelligence. So he favors the wise and meek Sophia and punishes the vicious and ignorant Prostokovs. He united loving hearts and exposed deception - this is nobility.
7. (53 words) In Griboyedov’s comedy “Woe from Wit,” Chatsky is noble, but the respectable nobles do not even have the remotest idea of ​​this quality. Alexander exposes cruelty, hypocrisy and ignorance, tries to defend the rights of the peasants, and Famus society only tries to expose him and defends only its position. Only those who are not indifferent to the world and people are noble.
8. (36 words) In Pushkin’s work “Dubrovsky,” the hero is a noble robber who takes ill-gotten wealth from wealthy people and gives it to his poor and oppressed brothers. His gang rebelled against social injustice, so Vladimir’s rightness is beyond doubt.
9. (50 words) In Sholokhov’s story “The Fate of a Man,” the hero proves his nobility in deeds, and not on the family tree. Andrei defends his homeland, sacrificing everything: he lost his family, freedom, health and incentive to live on. However, Sokolov did not break and got out of captivity. When he returned, he adopted an orphan. All this characterizes a noble and strong-willed man.
10. (38 words) In Solzhenitsyn’s story “Matrenin’s Dvor,” the heroine raised someone else’s girl as her own daughter. Matryona devoted herself entirely to raising Kira. She even died helping her drag her own things across the rails. Such selfless love can only be achieved by a noble heart.

Examples from life, cinema and media

1. (36 words) I will remember for the rest of my life the noble deed of my relative, who gratuitously gave up his share of the inheritance to his sister because she was raising a disabled son. Although he huddled in rented apartments, he never regretted his choice.
2. (47 words) We owe the noble intentions of the Tretyakov brothers the largest art gallery in our country, which even today bears their name. Patrons and collectors have collected the rarest museum exhibits from all over the world for their beloved city. They did all this not for themselves, but for the entire fatherland, showing the paintings to everyone.
3. (45 words) I consider my friend to be a truly noble person. I once accidentally broke his mother's favorite watch while I was visiting. So he took my blame upon himself so that his parents would not think anything bad about me. He got it really bad, but he didn’t give me away.
4. (45 words) In Anton Megerdichev’s film “Moving Up,” the coach showed nobility by assembling a team not from the privileged CSK, but from all over the Soviet Union. He gave athletes from the outskirts of a huge country a chance to prove themselves and succeed in basketball. In gratitude for this, they played to the limit of their capabilities.
5. (51 words) In O. Trofim’s film “Ice,” Sanya acquires nobility along with love.

6. (51 words) In Janik Fayziev’s film “The Legend of Kolovrat,” the main characters, real warriors, showed nobility, sacrificing their lives to save children.

This feat may not go down in history, but it will certainly inspire people to be kinder and more noble.
7. (41 words) For me, nobility is the desire to take care of others, supported by real action. For example, my relatives regularly transfer money to families with sick children who need help. They do this anonymously, without publicity, and in this small act of kindness I see true good.
8. (54 words) In the newspaper I read about a man who set up a shelter for dogs on his land. From the city, people brought to him those animals that had nowhere to live. In the spacious yard, they found home and care, as well as a chance to settle down in a loving family. It is very noble of him to take on the problem of stray dogs.
9. (47 words) In a magazine I saw an article about the life of Alexei Tolstoy. It said that the writer received a 100,000th prize in 1943. Then there were difficult times, and the author decided to help his country by donating money for the construction of a tank for the defense of his homeland. This is a very noble decision that saved more than one life.
10. (48 words) I read on one blog that Elon Musk, an inventor and engineer, plans to launch a satellite that will distribute free Internet everywhere. This measure will allow millions of people to gain knowledge and skills that are currently unavailable to them due to the lack of accessible education. I believe that this is one of the most noble intentions in the history of mankind.
Interesting? Save it on your wall!

Material wealth is at a premium today. Nobility is a manifestation of spiritual wealth, so it is not valued. Unfortunately, it is becoming less and less common to meet people who possess the set of qualities that all aristocrats previously possessed. Do you want to know how to become like a blue-blooded person? Then read the article.

Definition

Nobility is a set of positive qualities that make a person exalted in the eyes of others. What does it include? Honesty, frankness, sincerity, kindness and caring. People who combine this set of qualities do not pursue profit. They know how to distinguish real values ​​from fake ones. For a good person, money is not an object of desire, but a vital necessity. True nobility is manifested in the little things. A person who helps not only relatives and friends, but also strangers, does not flaunt his positive character traits, and also does only honest and fair things, is worthy of respect. A noble soul will always tell you what to do in a difficult life situation without falling flat on your face.

Congenital or acquired?

Nobility is a set of character traits. Contrary to popular belief, nobility can be acquired not only at birth, but also developed independently. Everything will depend on the person’s upbringing, as well as on the environment. It is the people around you who lay the foundation of character. Therefore, parents should pay increased attention to the upbringing of their child, so that later he can apply nobility in life. A child must be taught from childhood to work and to discipline. It is necessary to explain to the child that helping others is not an obligation, but a necessity. It is imperative to instill in your child the concept of what is good and what is bad. And developing good manners will help complete your education. And in order for the process of education of a young pupil to go better, parents should not only talk about what nobility is, but also show its manifestation by their own example.

Positive features

A person who considers himself noble must confirm his words in practice. And the following traits should be present in his nature:

• Charity. A person who spares no effort and time to help others is worthy of respect. Such people can show their positive character traits by helping the homeless, orphans, or those in poor financial situations. Moreover, the help of such people is not always expressed in material support.
• The desire to improve the world. A person who wants all people on the planet to be happy deserves to bear the title of noble. This is encouraging, since most of the inhabitants of our country do not set any goal for themselves. They waste their lives senselessly, without thinking about why they came into this world.
• Responsibility for your words. Every person must keep his promises. But few people do this. People believe that this promise is easy to take back. A man who does not keep his word cannot be called noble.

Personal qualities

• Courage. A person who creates and wants to do good should not be afraid to openly express his desire. As the people say, one does not seek good from good. Therefore, sometimes nobility is not perceived appropriately by others, who are accustomed to seeing a catch in everything.
• Nobility is courage. A person who is able not only to show courage once, but also to show it at a crucial moment, for example, on the battlefield, has courage, but a person who is afraid to walk a girl home at night does not have it.
• Kindness. Only a sincerely kind person can be noble. Such people will treat well not only those who deserve it, but also those who do not deserve it.
• Simplicity. The nobility of people is manifested in the absence of arrogance and kitsch. The simpler a person is, the kinder and more sincere he is.

Features of the principles of nobility

• Same for all countries. Nobility is human behavior that, in connection with positive character traits, makes the person inimitable. Good behavior and attitude should be shown to residents of all countries. Regardless of what education a person has, what social status or political preference he has, each person is equal to another. Anyone who understands this and puts it into practice is a noble person.
• They have a standard. In any country there are legends about a fictional or real person who is a symbol of nobility. The most famous such person is Robin Hood.
• Created by a group of people. Each person can behave the way he wants, as long as his behavior does not hurt the interests of other people. But in order to become a noble person, a person must adhere to generally accepted standards and norms of behavior.
• Doesn't tolerate pretense. A person who wants to become noble will never set himself the goal of showing off in front of someone. The desire to help must be sincere and personal. It is impossible to force someone to become noble.

How nobility is manifested

There are no ideal people. But people who behave nobly exist. The dignity of nobility does not lie in its encouragement, but in the fact that a person improves this world through his actions. To do good and act nobly, you can make grand gestures. For example, a person can adopt a child from an orphanage. This is a good deed that will make the baby's life happy. What if it is not possible to take the child? You can shelter a stray kitten or puppy. Such actions are also noble. A person should help others to the best of his ability and ability. For example, film actors do charity work. If they do not flaunt their activities, but simply help people, then this is very noble. But every person living in the world who cannot give large sums for the treatment of sick children or adults can still take part in some charitable event. For example, plant trees around the city or hold a cleanup day in a nearby park.

Is sacrifice nobility?

Some people confuse the concepts. And if nobility and honor are words consonant with each other in meaning, then sacrifice and nobility are not the same thing. Yes, a person who does gratuitous good deeds spends his free time doing them. But you still need to always use common sense. For example, often single mothers devote all their free time to their children. What seems unusual here? But when the child grows up, the mother will begin to demand attention from him to his own person. An elderly woman will not be able to achieve anything and will blame the child for this. After all, he took up all her free time. Do you find nobility here? He's not here. But there are a lot of such examples that can be given. A person who helped you once, and then will pretend to be a victim for 10 years, has nothing to do with nobility.

Examples

When it comes to nobility, what comes to mind first? Well, of course, knights and noble ladies. The word "nobility" is associated with men. Why? Previously, this system of qualities was inherent in people with “blue blood”. They performed in tournaments, demonstrating their courage, challenged them to a duel, defending their honor, and won the hearts of ladies by performing feats. Today, examples of nobility are rarer. But this quality is now inherent not only in men, but also in women. The concept itself has become broader. The phrases “noble profession” and “noble deed” can be found in everyday speech. What professions can be called noble? Teachers, doctors and educators are professions that people choose not for the sake of financial well-being. And what actions can be called noble? Those that a person does not for the sake of acquiring some kind of regalia, but in order to help someone. What could it be? For example, providing free assistance to neighbors on the landing or organizing a children's party in an orphanage.

Future and nobility

Have you ever thought about the future of our society? What will it look like in 10 or 50 years? Will there remain good, sincere people in our country, or will corruption enslave everyone who has not yet been touched by its clawed paws? The nobility of a man today is helping others, and especially ladies. But if good manners are gradually becoming a thing of the past, can we expect that nobility will not follow their example? Let's hope not. Kindness is what distinguishes a decent person. Courage, pride, faith in yourself and your homeland - these qualities are also needed by a person who wants to claim nobility. But it's easier here. A person needs these qualities in order to take a decent position in society. But for some reason people change dramatically when they gain power. They say she spoils people. Is it so? No. A person simply begins to allow himself what he did not allow before. It turns out that his true essence comes out. In order not to kill nobility, parents must raise their children correctly. Teach the younger generation to work, talk about good manners and etiquette. And most importantly, do not forget to demonstrate everything by your own example.

“Not a single good deed, no matter how small, is wasted.”
Aesop

1. A good deed that led to a woman risking her life to shelter a Jewish family

In 1941, Zofia Banya, a poor Polish farmwoman, discovered that she did not have enough money to buy the supplies her family needed at the general store. The store owner, Israel Rubinek, told her to take the things she needed and pay for them when she could. This act of kindness was literally unheard of in war-torn Poland, and Banya did not forget it.

Two years later, the Nazis were hunting down Jews in Poland and sending them to concentration camps. Fearing for the life of the kind young man who helped her, Banya, risking her life, hid Rubinek and his wife in her house for two and a half years. Seven times German soldiers came to the Bani farm in search of hiding Jews, and each time Sophia's family hid them in a tiny underground. One night, Nazi soldiers slept in the Bathhouse's living room, just a few centimeters from where Rubinek and his wife were hidden.

Decades passed, and Rubinek's family met the woman who hid them from the Nazis. Their granddaughter says: “One incredibly kind deed in an impossibly difficult situation changed everything. The depth of the human soul cannot be measured or explained. These poor Polish farmers feared for their lives, yet they decided to help two people they barely knew.”

2. Kind words from a boss kept a man from committing suicide.


Tim Sanders is a personal development coach and former head of marketing at Yahoo! Sanders recommends that all of his employees communicate with their colleagues and subordinates and praise them for their work. He often tells the story of how he did just that: he talked to his subordinates personally and praised them for the work they did, and let them know that he personally and the company as a whole appreciated their efforts. Sanders remembers once telling a person that he was glad that this person came into his life and that he appreciated him.

After Sanders visited the man's team, he was shocked when the man showed up a few days later and gave him an expensive gift - an Xbox game console. As it turned out, the employee purchased this game console in exchange for a revolver with which he wanted to kill himself. After he heard kind words from his boss, the man decided to move on with his life and recover from depression. Just a couple of kind words kept him from committing suicide.

“Sometimes people just need to see a human touch,” Sanders says.

3. Teens saved a little girl from being kidnapped


In July 2013, five-year-old Jocelyn Rojas was playing in her yard in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, when she suddenly disappeared. Rojas' parents feared the worst, so they notified the police and began intensively searching the area.

Instead of waiting for the police to find the little girl, fifteen-year-old Temar Boggs and his friend decided to start searching for her themselves. They soon noticed Rojas in a car with a man, so they followed the car on bicycles. The teenagers chased the car for fifteen minutes while the man behind the wheel tried to escape from them. Finally, he apparently gave up, pulled over and threw the child out of the car.

“She ran up to me and said she wanted to see her mom,” Temar said.

4. A 21-year-old organ donor saved seven lives.


Organ donors are heroes who perform the most selfless acts imaginable. When Henry Mackaman, a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, died of bacterial meningitis in May 2013, his family found some small solace in his decision to donate his organs.

McMann's simple decision to check the Organ Donor box on his driver's license proved to be an invaluable act that would later save the lives of seven people. His mother wrote the following on the CaringBridge website: “We are all proud of Henry's decision to be an organ donor. His generosity does not surprise anyone who knew him. Thanks to his decision, up to 54 people will have the chance to improve their lives thanks to a piece of the incredible life Henry lived.”

5. A man jumped onto the tracks to save a stranger


In January 2007, twenty-year-old Cameron Hollopeter was waiting for a train on the New York subway when he had a seizure and began convulsing. Trying to get up, he fell on the tracks at the exact moment when the train came around the corner and rushed towards him.

Fifty-year-old construction worker and Navy veteran Wesley Autrey was talking to his two daughters when he saw a man fall. In a split second, he made a decision and jumped onto the tracks to help Hollopiter. Autry covered Hollopeter with his body, pushed him and moved him so that they lay together between the rails. The driver honked his horn and tried to stop, but it was too late and the train passed over both men.

Five carriages passed over the pair of men, just inches from Autry's head. When the train finally stopped, he told the people screaming in horror that they were okay. Hailed as a hero, Autry later said, “I don’t feel like I did anything special, I just saw someone who needed help. I did what I had to do."

6. A ten-year-old boy stood up to bullies to save a cat.


Standing up to bullies isn't easy, but that's exactly what Wendell Overton did when he saw a group of kids tormenting a stray cat in the area. Overton had already noticed this cat in the area several times, but one day he saw a group of hooligan children, aged from five to thirteen, who ran over the poor animal with bicycles, threw it into the air, and splashed energy drinks in its face. Fearing they would kill the cat, Overton bravely intervened and took the cat home to his mother, who called the Outer Banks Humane Society.

When news of Overton's compassion and kindness became public, he received countless letters of praise and encouragement from all over the world.

7. Strangers lined up to save a drowning boy


On a sunny day on the beach in Napier, New Zealand, twelve-year-old Josh McQuoid was standing in knee-deep water playing with friends when a dangerous current knocked him off his feet and carried him far from shore. The boy tried to keep his head above the water, struggling with the raging waves.

Another beachgoer and two police officers spotted the boy struggling in the waves and rushed into the water to help him, but the waves were too strong. After Constable Bryan Farquharson realized he couldn't reach the boy without falling victim to the waves himself, he organized a chain of people to reach the child while remaining tied to the shore.

8. A stranger’s kiss saved a man who was trying to commit suicide


In the city of Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, a sixteen-year-old boy stood on a bridge, threatening to jump off and commit suicide. Hundreds of onlookers watched in horror as he refused to cross back to the safe side of the railing. The police arrived at the scene and began to negotiate with him, but no one could reach him.

At that moment, Liu Wenxiu, a nineteen-year-old hotel waitress, was returning home from work when she noticed the guy and knew that she had to do something to help him. Wenxue herself once wanted to commit suicide, so she knew exactly how the guy felt. After telling police she was his girlfriend, Liu got close enough to talk to him. She shared with him her sad story about her difficult life and showed him the scar on her wrist left after she tried to commit suicide by cutting her wrists.

“He said he was hopeless and that I shouldn't waste my time trying to save him. But I told him, “I'm not trying to save your life, I just want you to understand how stupid you are being. Look at me, I was in the same situation as you, but now everything has changed,” Wenxue said.

Finally, the girl was able to lean in and hug him, and then she suddenly kissed him. The police were then able to take the knife the guy was holding and move him to the safe side of the bridge railing.

9. A woman saved children from a rolling truck


Lezlie Bicknell had just parked in a store parking lot in Albuquerque, New Mexico, when she noticed a small child in the driver's seat of a truck parked next to her car. Suddenly, the truck began to roll backwards, straight towards a very busy street. Without a moment's hesitation, Bicknell jumped out of her car to stop the moving car. Because of this, her own car began to roll backwards, cutting off the truck's path and stopping it from entering the highway.

Below is an amazing video of the incident:

10. A woman donated a kidney to a complete stranger.


Retired police sergeant Michael Newman needed a kidney to survive, so his former officers made a desperate appeal through local media to find a donor. Michael, who lives in Phoenix, Arizona, didn't have much hope that anyone would be his donor. However, a local woman named Kellie Boff printed out the article and set it aside. Boff says she kept coming back to the article, drawn to it for no reason. Finally, she picked up the phone and called the Mayo Clinic.

It turned out that Boff was the ideal donor. So she agreed to donate one of her kidneys to Sergeant Newman, whom she had never even met.
