THEY USED HIM. THEY DISCARDED HIM… AND HE CAME BACK HOLDING AN OSCAR.

He was the favorite actor of an entire generation. Everyone loved him — the charm of George of the Jungle, the thrill of The Mummy.

He had success, fame, millions of fans But when Brendan Fraser bravely spoke out about the abuse he endured in the industry…Hollywood turned its back on him.

The roles stopped coming.

His body broke down after years of doing his own stunts.

His mental health declined.

His marriage ended.

The same man who once made us laugh…became “the forgotten one.”

But Brendan didn’t give up.He stepped away — not defeated, but to heal. No cameras. No applause. Just silence and strength.

While the world counted him out… He was preparing.

And then came The Whale.

A raw, vulnerable, brutally honest performance…

So real, it took him straight to the Oscars.

When he walked up on that stage, shaking and in tears,he wasn’t just accepting an award —he was reclaiming his dignity, his voice, and silencing every critic who ever mocked him.

Brendan taught us something powerful:

No matter how broken you feel — if you don’t give up, you can still make history.

Before Hulk Hogan passed away

he had three last wishes. He asked his wife , Sky Daily to help him make them happen. Sky cried all day after hearing them,the truth behind it is truly touching.

First,before he died,Hogan secretly got five years worth of birthday gifts ready for his wife.

He picked out expensive and super thoughtful gift sets. He just wanted Sky Daily to still feel his love even if he wasn't around so she wouldn't feel alone on her birthday. That sweet move made Sky break down in tears.

Secondly,Hogan was worried about the kids he was helping. He had been supporting 100 disabled children for years.

Every year,he gave more than $300,000 to help with their rehab and education. He begged Sky to keep taking care of them. He didn't want that kindness to end.

Thirdly,he wanted Sky to keep doing Charity work for him. Hogan started his own foundation to help people in need. He helped so many sick and struggling families. He asked Sky to keep it going. He wanted his love to live on even after he was gone. Drop a goodbye in the comments, let's say farewell to this legendary man together.

The train was about to leave the platform,

a thief standing on the platform put his hand inside the train window and picked up a passenger's mobile phone, but another passenger saw this incident and caught the thief's hand from inside the train and at the same time other passengers also held the thief's hand.

The thief was not able to run away and at the same time the train started moving, but the passengers did not leave the thief's hand and the thief was hanging from the train in the same condition.

The thief got very scared, because at any time he could fall from the train and die, so he requested the passengers to please hold his other hand also. People helped the thief so much and held the thief's other hand from inside as well.

In this way the thief kept hanging from the train for ten minutes and after the train stopped at the next station, the passengers left both the hands of the thief and the thief ran away.

The thief got the punishment he deserved by hanging from the train while being between life and death for ten minutes. (Picture source Google)

Did you know that elderly drivers in Japan are required to place a special mark on their cars?

It's not a decoration; it's the "Koreisha mark," a multi-colored leaf-like or clover-like mark that indicates a driver is 75 years or older.

This mark has been in use since 1997, and its purpose is to alert other drivers to the presence of an elderly person driving, so they can treat them with patience and respect and yield to them if necessary.

The symbol has changed its shape over the years, now resembling a four-leaf clover. It represents wisdom, experience, and human frailty, and carries the message:

Be considerate, for the person in front of you is an elderly person with years of life past.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if other countries adopted this simple yet profound idea? Perhaps roads would become safer... and more respectful and humane !

Today at Walmart, an elderly man came up to me and asked, “Does your phone take pictures?” I said, “Yes, it does,” not really understanding why he was asking. He then said, “Let me see your phone.” I handed it to him, and he said, “Now let me take a picture of this moment.”

I was a bit surprised but agreed, even though I don't like pictures of myself. My daughter Aubrey was shy and didn’t want a picture, but I decided to give it a try. He took a picture of me and my daughter in Walmart, even though she wasn’t smiling. Afterward, I thanked him and said, “Nobody ever takes pictures of me with my kids.”

He smiled and said, “I knew that, because you’re the mom.” He added, “Time goes by so fast. These are the best moments of your life.”

He told me he was 85 years old and would do anything to have more moments like that, taking his kids on shopping trips. I was speechless.

A complete stranger stopping to care meant so much to me as a mom. It’s so rare to get pictures with your kids. His kindness really touched my heart and reminded me to appreciate every moment.

What a beautiful soul he has!

My dad has bees.

Today, I went to his house and he showed me all the honey he had gotten from the hives. He took the lid off a 5-gallon bucket full of honey and on top of the honey there were 3 little bees, struggling. They were covered in sticky honey and drowning. I asked him if we could help them and he said he was sure they wouldn't survive. Casualties of honey collection I suppose.

I asked him again if we could at least get them out and kill them quickly, after all he was the one who taught me to put a suffering animal (or bug) out of its misery. He finally conceded and scooped the bees out of the bucket. He put them in an empty Chobani yogurt container and put the plastic container outside.

Because he had disrupted the hive with the earlier honey collection, there were bees flying all over outside.

We put the 3 little bees in the container on a bench and left them to their fate. My dad called me out a little while later to show me what was happening. These three little bees were surrounded by all their sisters (all of the bees are females) and they were cleaning the sticky nearly dead bees, helping them to get all of the honey off of their bodies. We came back a short time later and there was only one little bee left in the container. She was still being tended to by her sisters.

When it was time for me to leave, we checked one last time and all three of the bees had been cleaned off enough to fly away and the container was empty.

Those three little bees lived because they were surrounded by family and friends who would not give up on them, family and friends who refused to let them drown in their own stickiness and resolved to help until the last little bee could be set free.

Bee Sisters. Bee Peers. Bee Teammates. We could all learn a thing or two from these bees.

Bee kind always.

A man slaughters a big cow,

starts the grill, and says to his daughter, “Daughter, go call our relatives, friends, and neighbors to join us… We’re having a celebration!”

The daughter goes out to the street and shouts, “Please help! My father’s house is on fire."

After some time, only a few people come out to help, while many others act like they didn’t hear anything. The ones who came stay, eat, and enjoy the food until late.

The father, confused, looks around and says to his daughter, “I don’t know most of these people. Some I’ve never seen before. Where are our friends, family, and neighbors?”

The daughter calmly replies, “The people who came didn’t come for a party. They came because they thought we were in trouble. These are the people who care about us. These are the ones who deserve to celebrate with us.”

Lesson: The ones who don’t show up when you’re struggling don’t deserve to be with you when you succeed.
