What had just happened when I was at a mathematical workshop? There were a lot of people who were older than me, and what we had to do was a project on our computers. And when I started doing my part, I found out that my computer had broken down. There was nobody around, so I went out into the corridor and found a man who was doing nothing, so I asked him if he could help me. And to my surprise, he was more than willing to offer me a hand of help. He fixed my computer, told me what to do if the same situation happens, and asked me what I was doing. Probably he wanted to give me some suggestions on my work. I was really thankful to him since he saved the day for me. And a year later I met him and I had the opportunity to say a thank you because the other time he just left because he had to go somewhere.
