A common one is people starting a diet to lose weight for a special event like a wedding. They usually cut calories and start exercising more. Another is those who have a health scare and then change their diet. For example, someone with high blood pressure might start a low - salt diet.
One common story is about racial profiling in stores. I've heard that black and brown people are often followed around by store security for no reason other than their skin color. It's like they are automatically assumed to be thieves just because of how they look. It's not fair at all.
One common story is about people with a fear of flying. They get extremely nervous before a flight. They might have panic attacks during take - off or turbulence. Another is the phobia of needles. Many people faint or become very agitated when they need to get an injection. And then there's the phobia of public speaking. People's hands shake, their voices tremble and they might forget what they want to say.
I was really moved by the story of Nick Vujicic. Born without limbs, he overcame extreme self - doubt and depression to become a motivational speaker. His story shows that no matter how difficult our situation is, we can find a purpose and a way to make a positive impact on others.
A story of a hunter who got attacked by a jaguar in the South American jungle. He was tracking a deer when suddenly the jaguar pounced on him. He had to fight for his life and was badly injured. It was a very dangerous situation.
I heard about a sociopath who infiltrated a charity organization. They used the organization's resources for their own personal gain. They would steal donations meant for the needy and use them to fund their lavish lifestyle. They also managed to deceive the other members of the organization for a long time, making it seem like everything was normal while they were embezzling funds.
I heard of a person who secretly wrote a novel during his lunch breaks at work. He didn't tell anyone, not even his family. After a year, he completed the novel and it got published. He had been nurturing this secret creative side while maintaining his regular job all along. It was a story of hidden talent and determination.
A bird watcher story is quite interesting. This watcher had a favorite spot by a lake. One day, he witnessed a flock of migratory birds doing a beautiful aerial dance. It was like they were performing just for him. He later wrote a poem about the experience which was published in a local magazine.
A tech entrepreneur had an interesting entourage. His entourage included software developers, marketers, and legal advisors. When they were launching a new product, the developers were fixing bugs and improving features up until the last minute. The marketers were creating hype around the product launch, and the legal advisors were making sure all the contracts and intellectual property rights were in order. Their combined efforts led to a very successful product launch.
One inspiring story is about a group of students. They noticed that many elderly people were having trouble getting masks. So, they used their 3D - printing skills to make masks for them. It was really great to see the younger generation being so helpful.
A story of a dolphin saving a surfer comes to mind. The surfer was caught in a strong current and was about to drown. A dolphin appeared and pushed the surfer towards the shore until he was safe. Dolphins are known for their intelligence and kindness.
