A college professor had his socialogy class into the Baltimore slums to get cases histories of 200 young boys. In follow up on the proect to see what happen to these boys. With the exception of 20boys who had moved away or died, the students learned that 176 of the remaining 180 had achieved more than ordinary success as lawyers, doctors and businessmen.
The professor was astounded and decided to peursue the matter further. Fortunately all the men were in the area and he was able to ask each one,
"How do you account for your success?"
In each case the reply came with feeling,
"There was one teacher."
"There was one teacher."
The teacher was still alive, so he sought her out and asked the old but still alert lady what magic formula she had used tp pull these boys out of the slums into successful achievement.
The teacher's eyes sparkled and her lips broke into a gentle smile.
"It's really very simple," She said. "I loved those boys."

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warn greeting.
-Mother Teresa.
