Doing the Right Thing: Small Example

So, I’m making a small pot of coffee listening to the BBC news spot on my local NPR station when they do a story about a football hero, that is soccer, of course, who is currently the highest paid athlete in, I didn’t quite get it, perhaps all of Europe, maybe it was the world…

His name is Cristiano Ronaldo.

What caught me, however, and the reason for the post is that the BBC correspondent and presumably other media folk were trying to get him to say a few words. He walked past them.

He can do that.

But after he walked by the high and the mighty, well, at least the media, he stopped for some kids wanting autographs.

The BBC correspondent had to settle for asking the kids about their experience. They were by the sound of their voices maybe ten, eleven, I doubt twelve.

This was an important moment for them.

This is not a world where athletic heroes tend to have their heads screwed on straight.

But, this was a guy who knew for whom he should stop and spend a minute.

I am a fan…
