Never underestimate anyone.

My mom always used to tell me....

"Every man has his own story to tell."

Whether you are a business owner that owns his own island and has about 50 million dollars in the bank, or a hobo riding trains from town to town, your life and your story have value.

In today's society people are very concerned with image.

We often forget that there is more to life than looks, riches, or fame.

In my circle of friends there are quite a few that are poor.

I also have a handful of high school friends that are incredibly rich.

Who do you think are happier?

The poor people.

My rich friends tend to constantly worry about their money.

My poor friends tend to be interested in having a good time. Sometimes they go overboard but that's OK.

The construction worker that stands outside your house in the morning is just as capable of living a good life as the banker, lawyer, or doctor.

Everyone knows the famous line from the Declaration of Independence.

"All men are created equal."

Do we live this today though?

There's a guy that comes to collect our garbage from work. He's very talkative and always wants to engage us in conversation.

His uniform is always really dirty and he looks kind of disheveled. All my workmates completely avoid him.

His life and history are as important as anyone else's.

I spend time talking to him. When I go to the dollar store I spend time talking to the cashier.

I talk to the bus driver when I take the bus.

I talk to my Uber driver.

Each one of these people is capable of doing great things, given the chance.

I know some high power people that think that they are responsible for ruling the world.

That's not true though.

Everyone is responsible.

We are one people.

Never underestimate anyone.
