Maintaining a positive attitude will take you farther in life than just being down in the dumps all the time.

Central Park in New York City serves as a meeting place for different kinds of people. An encounter between a birdwatcher and a pet owner who found themselves in the same place at the same time led to an incident that became a national news story. But despite all of the negative implications of yet another incident of racial profiling taking center stage in public discussion, there was an unexpected positive outcome. The bird watcher who was accused of being “threatening” faced no charges because video evidence showed the complaint had no merit. Subsequent to this ordeal, this Harvard educated birdwatcher has received a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Daytime Personality from National Geographic for his show Extraordinary Birder.

Despite what you hear in the news, there are good things going on in the USA; the wingmen cover ten of them.

It may be a coincidence, but another multibillionaire has donated one billion dollars to a medical school to cover tuition and other expenses to aspiring doctors, relieving them of massive school debt. Former New York City mayor, Michael Bloomberg donated one billion dollars to the medical school of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland from his philanthropic foundation.

If you visit the city of Barcelona in Spain, you may need to carry an umbrella even on sunny days if the locals decide to encourage you to visit elsewhere by firing water pistols to get you on your way.

If you have nasty neighbors, take the kind and understanding approach at first. If subtle things don’t help, consider building some kind of barrier or just moving altogether.

Meet a wingman who built one hundred modern homes for impoverished people in the Caribbean, South America and Mexico; despite his easily recognized name, he is more of an angel than a beast.
