My wife and I were driving home from a party at 2 AM when our car suddenly broke down in the middle of nowhere. This was before mobile phones, so we just sat there in the dark, hoping someone would pass by. After an hour, a friendly college student stopped and offered to drive us to town.

He wasn\u2019t a student anymore\u2026 he had become a tech millionaire and philanthropist, famous for secretly helping strangers in need. The anchor ended the segment with his signature quote: \u201cKindness is the best investment \u2014 you never know where it will take you.\u201d My wife and I just stared at the screen, realizing that the man who once saved us on a lonely road had gone on to change the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
