Charlie Chaplin, the greatest comedian in the history of cinema, narrates an incident of his own:

As a child, I once went to see a circus show with my father. We were standing in line to get tickets for the circus. Ahead of us was a family of six children and their parents.
These people looked shabby, they were wearing old but clean clothes, the children were very happy.
And talking about the circus,
When his number came, his father went to the ticket counter and asked for the ticket price. When the ticket seller told him the ticket price, he stammered and turned back.
And said something in his wife's ear, anxiety was evident from his face
.
Then I saw my father take a twenty dollar bill out of his pocket, throw it on the ground,
Then bent down and picked him up and placed his hand on the person's shoulder and said: Sir! Your money has fallen, take it.

This man looked at my father with tears in his eyes and said: Thank you dear!

When the family entered, my father grabbed my hand and pulled me out of line
And we went back; because my father had the same twenty dollars, which he gave to the man.
Since that day I am proud of my father,
That scene was the best show of my life.
Even more than the show, which we didn't get to see at the circus that day!
And since then I believe that training is related to practical examples, not just bookish theories.......!
