#2 I've met several Medal of Honor recipients. They are all the most stunningly ordinary guys you could find. The one thread that they have/had is they all once said "Nope, not today" and then did something special (or stupid, according to which ones you talk to).

#5 Working late at the office a young hispanic couple would come in, empty the trash cans, vaccum the carpet, then leave.

The wife appeared ashamed when I watched them. So each time I worked late and after they finished their tasks I thanked them both. From that point on she worked side by side with a sense of pride.
