  • Two years ago, Eugene Yoon made the craziest decision of his life. With no degree or plan, he decided he wanted to help a paralyzed man walk again. As Steve Hartman reports, after reaching that goal, he set his sights on a repeat performance.

    A lot of people in the comments section keep mentioning that we need more people like Eugene Yoon in the world. The thing is, if you want that to happen, you start with yourself. You don't have to do anything as grand. Little acts of kindness everyday goes a long way.

Not some instagram self absorbed influencer that people chase to be like. This man is one of the richest people I have ever seen and probably one of the happiest. Mad respect.

    finally world is catching up and changing. what always amazes me when I think about it is the fact that over 200000 years of humans being around or even over 6000 years of our civilization as we know it, we still didn't figure out that the best society is the one based on kindness, love and respect to one another. if we all treated each other like brothers and sisters we would seize all evil in the world. no more war, racism, hate, money, etc. just happy place to live in among beautiful and friendly people... who needs anything more if everyone you pass on the sidewalk gives you a hug and genuinely treats you like a best friend? I'll take hugs anyday

      Are you doing that? And what do you mean the world is changing and catching up? I personally have volunteered over 1,000 hours each year for the past 45 years. I know a lot of folks that do way more than me. It is not uncommon you just ignore them. Every natural disaster you hear about Red Cross volunteers and church groups that bring food and emergency shelter. There are amateur radio groups that set-up disaster communications when everything else has failed. Try reading about the Civil Air Patrol and the volunteer Search and Rescue groups. The current generation is a disaster and you think it is a step in the right direction? A self-absorbed, give me generation who want it their way and will physically attack you if you disagree. Sorry but looting and burning are not a positive step forward in the human saga. Get back to us once you have put sometime in as a volunteer.

Volunteers that staff public events like marathons, the police charity run Baker to Vegas annual run and the list goes on and on. Nearly every human activity has a volunteer group supporting it. Eugene did a wonderful thing. I bet he would be the first to recognize the work by all the volunteers all around him.
