Want to see Hope? Watch ANY of the TV series "Undercover Boss"

Those CEO's really find out a lot about themselves
and the blue-collar workers who are the companies back bone.

Great Show!

I think the best part about the military guy in "What would you do" is the sign behind him. Very fitting.

From The Chive:

Amid all the snow-related chaos going down in Atlanta, people are demonstrating mind-blowing compassion on a local Facebook group, SnowedOutAtlanta.

People are using the group, created by Georgia resident Michelle Sollicito, to post their locations, asking for help for themselves or their loved ones. The most tragic stories involve diabetics, the elderly, and families with young children, especially infants. Some people can’t even get in touch with their families.

Aside from calls for help, offers of assistance are also being publicized. People with large vehicles are selflessly posting their contact information to retrieve those stranded or bring supplies. Members are also opening up their homes for shelter. Basically, we’re seeing what good nature people are truly capable of.

Here are just a few of the amazing posts:

I've been copying one of these a day and passing them onto family and friends for daily encouragement. These are visual prayers. Thanks to all who've been contributing.

W. Garth Callaghan doesn't know how long he has to live. But he can be certain of one simple thing: No matter his fate, his daughter will have a handwritten note tucked inside her lunchbox each day until she graduates from high school.

Callaghan has received three cancer diagnoses since November 2011, and learned that he has just an 8% chance that he will live longer than five years. Now, he's taking every chance to connect with his daughter Emma in the time he has left.

Armed with a stack of napkins and a ballpoint pen, he started Napkin Notes, a project that documents the daily messages he's slipped into Emma's lunchbox since she started second grade.

"She does love Napkin Notes and looks forward to them each day," Garth said. "She has friends that are jealous of her notes. I am just thankful with the fact that she feels comfortable enough with her own self and shares them with friends."

The project also strives to encourage others parents to connect with their children through handwritten notes, and is the subject of an ebook released last September.

Callaghan has also teamed up with Because I Said I Would, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making and keeping promises. His promise: To write enough notes of encouragement to last Emma through twelfth grade.
