Ultimate Kindness

Here at Dajs Daily we try to spotlight people that we feel go beyond what their supposed to do to better peoples lives.  Jon Jones may not look like much here in this picture, but he is currently the UFC Light Heavy Weight Champion one of the best fighters in the world.  In March of 2011 hours before he was scheduled to defend his championship crown, Jones stopped a train burglar trying to escape.  Jon Jones subdued the criminal and saved someones valuables.  Later that night Jon Jones went on to win and defend his crown.  Now just a week ago Jon Jones was checking into a Miami hotel as he overheard a woman arguing over the phone with her boyfriend.  Apparently the woman's boyfriend had abandoned her and her young son without money or any means of shelter.  Feeling sympathy for the woman Jon Jones put the woman and her child up for a few nights while they waited for their flight out of Miami.  Once again the super fighter went beyond his means to help another individual out of a situation. 
We spotlight these things because it shows how a superstar athlete can put his life a side for a moment to help someone in need.  So often super athletes are criticized over the things they do and don't do.  It's important the we show our kids humility such as this, so that they understand that it isn't always about just being famous.  Sometimes having power isn't just about what they can do, but what they can do for others.  I think it's great that we have an athlete out there that kids can look up to that's actually putting others in front of him.  Let's teach our kids and others to give back when they can, and always stay humble.
