Samantha had always been a flatterer. She knew how to charm people with her words and make
them feel good about themselves. But her ploy to get ahead in life often left her feeling empty
inside.

One day, while walking through the park, Samantha saw an elderly man kick the bucket right in
front of her. She was stunned and stood there in perplexity for a moment before calling for help.
Sadly, the man passed away before the ambulance arrived.

The next day, Samantha read the man's obituary in the local newspaper. She felt a pang of sadness
as she realized that she didn't even know his name. She vowed to change her ways and make more
meaningful connections with the people around her.

As she walked to her job at the university, where she held tenure as a professor, Samantha decided
to follow suit with her new plan. She made a point to learn the names of her students and to truly
listen to their stories. She also started a scholarship fund to help offset the high tuition fees that
some of her students struggled to pay.

Samantha soon realized that she could capitalize on her position as a professor to make a real
difference in the lives of her students. She watched as their skills and knowledge grew
exponentially, and it filled her with pride.

But not everything was positive. Samantha was appalled by the state of the world outside of her
classroom. She saw countless instances of injustice and inequality and felt powerless to change
them. But she knew that by continuing to be kind and generous to those around her, she could make
a difference, even if it was just a small one.

And so, Samantha continued on her new path, feeling grateful for the elderly man who had
unknowingly inspired her to be a better person. She knew that he was gone, but she would always
remember him as a reminder to be kind and genuine in her interactions with others.
