A very Generous airline passengers (Young Scottish Lady) successfully raised £5,000 in a whip-round held in airplane for Thomas Cook cabin crew who had just learned their had collapsed abruptly without any notice. This Scottish lady collected two bags of cash yesterday morning (immediately after the Thomas cook collapsed) for the flight attendants and crew members, after the flight from Las Vegas to Manchester.

The respective pilot of the same flight had earlier informed all 300+ passengers to ‘pray for staff’ (really??) due to mixed news about Thomas Cook was going out of business. One of passenger Tommy Laing posted on his Facebook: ‘I’ve just landed in Manchester from Vegas, was flying with Thomas Cook, the staff told us mid flight that they’d just been told half way through the flight that we were on the last Thomas Cook flight anywhere. ‘They had just lost their jobs and would not be getting paid this month, they were all in tears.

Soon as the plane landed, this Scottish girl stood up, and said "right folks I’m having a whip round get your money out £20 each". ‘Was a joyful moment!’ Another passengers (couple from manchester) heading back to Manchester Airport from Las Vegas. She mentioned how sad it was to see Thomas Cook staff discovered the company went bankrupt, while they had been in the air (WTF??), and they had all been made redundant immediately without any notice or pay.

She said: ‘When we landed the pilot came on the Tannoy and said “our dream has ended” and told us the staff would probably not be getting paid for working that flight. ‘Staff had remained so professional throughout the eight-hour flight, so the passengers did a whip round for them. “People were being really generous, stuffing rolls of cash, and leftover dollars, into two carrier bags. ‘Staff told the passengers how overwhelmed and grateful they were for the support.

I am impressed when I meet smart people.
But what I admire most is kindness, humility, optimism, generosity and shared knowledge. Let's be this person.

What do you want to achieve?
Who do you want to be?
Those two questions are deeply entwined. Every minute of every hour of every day you are making the world,
just as you are making yourself,
and you might as well do it with generosity and kindness and style.

I remember this quote from Bob Marley, when he was asked by he is so determined to spread LOVE and why he thinks it is his job, he repled in a very mature way, he said the following statement....
“The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?” - Bob Marley.

“Sometimes when I think about it, I think maybe I can help to bring mankind together, maybe…”
