When we meet someone in our lives. Maybe this stranger's words will have a great impact on our lives. Even though we felt a little puzzled or strange at that time, when someone naively verified that sentence, you would feel that you got more than just a sentence or a piece of advice, but a lot of wealth in life.

There is too much vigilance in our world, and we always don't trust others. In fact, looking back, don't many friends start with strangers? Advice is the best gift, which can bring us closer to the world.

Would you be extremely surprised if a person changed his life course at the right time and place because of someone else's words? However, this really happened in my life.

I saw a short story in the book "Tramp".

Erpo's age is 14 years old. I'm on my way from Texas to California. Walking with the sun and constantly pursuing my dreams, he said that I was a high school student, but maybe I was not born to learn, so I had to give up halfway. I am determined to surf the biggest waves in the world.

When I arrived in downtown April, I met an old tramp on the street corner. He stopped me when I passed by and gave me a fairy. He asked me if I had run away from home secretly. I think the reason why he asked this question must be because I look too young. I told him, "Not exactly, sir, but my father drove me to this highway. He also said to me,' it is very important to follow your dreams and desires, son.' "

The tramp asked again, can you buy me coffee? I replied, "no, sir, just a soda." "So, let's go to a water at the corner of the street. Sit in the swivel chair and enjoy our drinks.

After chatting for a few minutes, the kind tramp asked me to go with him and told me that he had an excellent thing to show me and wanted to share it with me. We walked several blocks and came to a public library in the city.

We walked up the front steps and stopped at an information desk that didn't look very big. The tramp said a few words to a smiling old lady and asked him if he would look after my luggage when we entered the library. I gave my luggage to the kind old woman and walked into the great knowledge hall.

The tramp took me to a table and told me to sit down and wait for a while, while he was going to look for something special on the bookshelf. Soon he came back with some old books under his arm. After he put the book on the table, he sat next to me and chatted. This is really an extraordinary speech, and his words changed my life. He said; "Young man, I want to teach you two things;

First of all, remember not to judge a book by its cover, because it sometimes deceives you. I guess you must think I'm a tramp, don't you, young man? "

I replied, "Well, yes, sir, I think so."

"Young man, this may surprise you. I am actually one of the richest people in the world. I have almost everything that everyone dreams of. I'm originally from the northeastern United States, and I have everything that money can buy. But a year ago, my wife passed away. May God bless his soul in heaven. From then on, I began to think deeply about the meaning of life. I realize that there are some things in life that I haven't experienced yet, and one of them is to live like a beggar on the street. So I vowed to live like a tramp for a year. In the past year, I wandered from one city to another. Really experienced the life of a tramp. So remember not to judge a book by its cover, because the cover sometimes deceives you.

"Second, my child is learning how to read. Because there is only one thing in the world that others can't take away from you. This is your wisdom! " Speaking of which, he approached me, grabbed my right hand and put them on the books he found on the shelf. They are immortal classics written by Aristotle.

The tramp came up to the old woman at the entrance. After taking my bag, I went down the stairs and went back to the street not far from where we met. When I left, he told me never to forget. He said that I would never forget everything he taught me.

After reading this short story, we feel that there is only one thing in this world that others can't take away from you, and that is your wisdom.
