No Books, No Bucks
不读好书,赚不到钱
为了纪念母亲,Gardner把捐款给教育工程。并且他因为为Career Gear机构的出色工作而受到表彰。该机构给申请就业的年青人提供衣物和忠告。
When he speaks at high schools he keeps his message simple, telling students: “No books, no bucks. That’s it.” 当他在高中做报告时,他简洁地告诉学生,“不读好书就赚不到钱,就是这样。”
He also has returned many times to Glide Memorial in San Francisco, not only to donate money, but to work on the food line where he used to stand. “I see me, I see my son 20 years ago,”he said. “And I know how important this meal is to that individual, to that man, that woman.” 他还多次回到旧金山的Glide教堂,不仅是去捐款,也是到他曾经站过的免费餐台前服务。“我看到20年前的我自己,看到我的儿子,”他说。“我深知这一餐对于一个人,那个男人,那个女人有多重要。”liuxuepaper.com
