A man was boarding a train in Perth, Australia, when he slipped and his leg got caught in the gap between the train carriage and the station platform. Dozens of passengers quickly came to his rescue.

ODJ: disappointment & growth

Roger Bannister was considered the favourite for the 1500m race at the Helsinki Olympics in 1952.

ODB: The Babel Project

Two workmen were asked what they were building together. One said he was building a garage. The other replied that he was building a cathedral. A day later there was only one man laying bricks. When asked where the second was, the first replied, “Oh, he got fired. He insisted on building a cathedral instead of a garage.”Something similar happened on the ancient worksite of Babel. A gro
