One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfastI noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveledHe was wearing a worn-out hat and was aloneI asked if I might join himHe agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.

We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of thingsWe never introduced ourselvesI was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eatSo as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,

“My I get you something ?”

“A coffee would be nice.”

Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exitAt the door I met one of my friendsHe asked,

“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”

“Who?”

“The man you were sitting withHe is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”

I could hardly believe itI was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!

My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my lifeNow I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.
