You are a good Man Peter ,you are a great example for many people

[@cleftoftherock6797]

Excellent and inspirational. “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:13-16)

Αλλος ενας παγκοσμιος πρωταθλητής που προτιμαει να ειναι ταπεινός και τον δεις ισως σε μια ταβερνα σε μια γωνια να ευχαριστει τον Θεο για ολα τα καλα πουβτου ρποσφερε ο Θεος με την δικη του ομως δουλεια και προσπαθια, αλλα να μην ζηταει την προσοχη των αλλων.

Απόσπασμα από την υπέροχη εξιστόριση: "Δεν είναι τα λεφτά που φέρνουν την ευτυχία, είναι και η προσωπική ανέλιξη ως άνθρωπος. Είναι το πόσες ζωές ανθρώπων κατάφερες ν' αλλάξεις προς το καλύτερο, και ποιά η συνεισφορά σου στην κοινωνία σ' αυτό το μικρό διάστημα που ζούμε." Μέσα σε μία παράγραφο τριών γραμμών το νόημα της ζωής, η λεκτική απόδοση των ιδανικών ενός ανθρώπου που για εμένα και την οικογένειά μου είναι το πρότυπο. Ντίνος Στυλιανός του Ιωάννη.

I'd like to know how and who helped him go from bus boy to affording University of Illinois. Was it a free ride through a system that doesn't exist today?

So, it's his fault I can't find a real gyros in the USA, only that weird lamb/beef meatloaf sliced stuff. Thanks
