Excerpt
Which is more important: How much money a person earns or how much he helps other people? What would you do if you saw a friend shoplifting? Is there an "easy way out" of hard work? These are just some of the questions following each story to get the reader thinking about what he or she would do in that situation. The choices our young people make today may very well govern their actions for years to come.
