[00:00.00]World of Smiles 微笑的世界
[00:06.17]About ten years ago
[00:09.12]when I was an undergraduate in college,
[00:11.42]I was working as an intern at my University’s Museum of Natural History.
[00:15.90]One day while working at the cash register in the gift shop,
[00:19.72]I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.
[00:23.90]As I looked closer at this girl,
[00:26.41]I saw that she was kind of perched on her chair.
[00:29.13]I then realized she had no arms or legs,
[00:32.20]just a head, neck and torso.
[00:34.49]She was wearing a little white dress with red polka dots.
[00:37.89]As the couple wheeled her up to me I was looking down at the register.
[00:41.60]I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink.
[00:44.88]As I took the money from her grandparents,
[00:47.41]I looked back at the girl,
[00:48.73]who was giving me the cutest,
[00:50.35]largest smile I have ever seen.
[00:52.21]All of a sudden her handicap was gone
[00:54.73]and all I saw was this beautiful girl,
[00:56.93]whose smile just melted me
[00:59.10]and almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about.
[01:03.36]She took me from a poor,
[01:05.45]unhappy college student and brought me into her world;
[01:08.51]a world of smiles, love and warmth.
[01:11.47]That was ten years ago.
[01:13.54]I’m a successful business person now
[01:16.06]and whenever I get down and think about the troubles of the world,
[01:19.44]I think about that little girl
[01:21.31]and the remarkable lesson about life that she taught me.
