There are two kinds of people.Which one are you?

A father asked his son to return a shopping cart they had just used. The son protested, "C’mon, Dad! There are carts all over. No one returns them. That’s why they hire people to collect them."

After a brief argument, Mom chimed in, "For heaven’s sake, it’s no big deal. Let’s go."
The Dad was about to surrender when he noticed an elderly couple walking together to return their cart. After a moment he said, "Son, there are two kinds of people in this world: those who put their carts away and those who don’t. We are the kind that returns their shopping cart. Now go return the cart!"

Obviously, this story is about more than grocery carts. It’s about doing the right thing in a world that promotes rationalizations and excuses, and demeans or trivializes simple acts of virtue. I suppose another way of putting it is—There are two kinds of people: Those who have the character to do what they ought to and those who find reasons not to.

People of character do the right thing even if no one else does, not because they think it will change the world, but because they refuse to be changed by the world.
