Tim Harris graduated from college, he won a bunch of gold medals in the Special Olympics and he owns his own restaurant. In fact, he is the only person with Down Syndrome to own his own restaurant. He says that it is the “Friendliest Restaurant in the World,” and he proves it by keeping a tally of the more than 32,000 hugs he has provided over the years.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6He0FWoFj0&feature=youtu.be
Lesson #1 – Approach the day with passion and joy: Tim begins each day with a dance across the parking lot on his way to work. He calls it his magic dance. Who does that? Perhaps a more important question is, why don’t more people do that.
Lesson #2 – If you can dream it, you can do it: Tim knew he wanted to own a restaurant at the age of 14. He went to college and worked really hard to learn what it takes to turn that dream into a reality. If he can do what he has done with Down Syndrome, why can’t you?
Lesson #3 – Please, no pity: Quick, what is the first thought that goes through your mind when you see someone with Down Syndrome? Be honest. Mine is that I feel bad for him/her or that I am glad that my child doesn’t have to deal with that. Instead, perhaps we should think of Tim and what is inside Tim. He reminds us that people with disabilities are “God’s gifts to the world,” and I kinda like that.
Lesson #4 – Leave A Positive Mark Each Day: Tim gives a hug to each customer and praises his employees every day. It’s so simple, but so important. My guess is he leaves a lasting impression on the people he meets. The questions I leave you with is, Do you make the lives of those around you better or worse? What do you do to make the world a better place on a daily basis?

Every restaurant should do this. This makes people’s day I know that I sure want to visit this place someday.
Lesson #1
People who are always in a good mood.
Lesson #2
Tim seems like a very passionate and successful man. I agree with him, if you have a goal and no matter what life throws without you. You can achieve any goal.
Lesson #3
That’s the same thing I thInk of. I would feel really bad for the person. I really should be thinking about Tim in a different way, not how I usually do.
Lesson #4
I think that I usually do a good job of making people around me happier. I always smile at them and have friendly conversations with them. But I need to work on being a better person even when I’m feeling down
I think most restaurants in this world should have employees like Tim.I think that because a lot of restaurants don’t have people hugging them and giving them high fives. And people should have an opportunity to be happy the way Tim treats them.
i think we should have more people like him to because that make people feel like somebody care about you never know what people are going through
I like this comment because this is very true and we need more people like this in the world
I agree even though with everything happening right now touching might not be the best idea but uplift workers are very nice to have
yes tim is doing good by making people happy
I’d honestly be scared to let a stranger hug me these days, so no I think we should stick to “I order and you give me my food”, no hug because you never know.
Yes having every restraunt act like that would be great but if every restraunt did that and all you wanted to get was food and quickly. Yes it wouldn’t take very long but, it would take longer to get your food. What if you were in a hurry to get somewhere because your late and your starving so your go to a random restraunt. When you walk in the manager hugs you when you just what to get food quickly.
IT WAS A GOOD BLOG I LIKED IT TAUGHT ALOT
This blog is great because I don’t know any other down drone people like this. This warms my heart to know they someone with a disability is changing the world in some type of way.
I think that every restaurant should do that too so when peoples enter in it will make that person feel good about him/her self or brighten up that person’s day and let them know that they are welcomed.
I think that every restaurant should do that too so that you can make peoples feel good about him/her self and let them know that they are welcomed.
yes i agree
I agree every restaurant should do this!
I agree with you. I think it would be an amazing experience to eat there.
I agree it would make so many people happy.
Yes, Shelby I agree that every restaurant should be like that.I would visit that place someday too.
You making this man is very up going but personalty for me I don’t like role model . That’s just me and my experiences of what I think a role model is . But hope your happy doing this. Bye have a good day .
I agree with Shelby that every restaurant should do this. A simple lesson can change a person’s course of the day.
I agree with that. Based on the information on this blog, it is safe to say that everything is real.
If anyone has an objection, please speak freely. 🙂
It was really good spoke an taught me a lot I liked when if u can dream u can do it that was a good part of the pager right there
Once you dream about something some peoples don’t go out there and follow it some just afraid. If you want something to happen or be something in life you can go to college and accomplish it.
I think I make the lives around me easier sometimes and harder other times. Sometimes it’s hard for me to tell how I make others feel. I could be effected them in a positive way or a negative way and not know unless that person tells me.
When I have issues with a person or if they said or done something to me in a negative way I will go to that person and talk to them about how I feel about that. If I feel bad or sad about something I just keep it to myself because I feel that the person won’t understand. If I have done something or said something to hurt that person’s feelings I will apologize because that person might think that I don’t care.
I feel that sharing emotions is important because if we leave everything inside it will inevitably blow up.
I think that I make the lives of those around me better, and if I make it worse, I feel that it is their choice to respond to me that way. I pay compliments, and offer help, whenever someone sneezes I tell them bless you, and I try to bring happiness to people through jokes and common interests that I share with whoever I’m talking to.
In my life I try to become the better person that I can be. I treat peoples with respect if they treat me with respect. Every time when a person needs help I will help them out of the kindness of my heart. When I see a person that is crying I will go up to that person so see what’s wrong with them and I will do that sometimes because it’s different peoples and I talk to certain peoples. I will do that sometimes because I won’t know how that person might react.
I think what this trying to say is work hard and be happy while you are doing what ever your doing and to also follow your dream. Leave a mark on the world every day a good maybe even a great one.
Once you follow your dreams you will see a better outcome in your life than it was before and you can be more happier.
I’m pretty good at having a good attitude about things and good at having a positive attitude too. I think that I am also nice to the people I talk to on a daily basis. Being nice to people goes a long way.
I’m that type of person too. Once you show peoples that you are kind you will be able to live longer and when you be disrespectful your days get shorter. RESPECT OTHERS!!!
I think I make them better. Everyday I come to school ready to learn. When I walk down the hallways I say hello to everyone who says it to me. I am starting to be the first one to say hello because I am building more confidence as I grow older.
When someone says something nice to be or speak to me that will be a way of showing respect. I say “hey” first to certain because when you speaking to someone and they hear or see you whether if they don’t speak back in return
I try my best everyday to do little things that may not make the world a better place, but a happier place. When I walk into school I say good morning to the majority of the people I walk by and compliment some of them. I also crack jokes and they might make people laugh and smile and sometimes that’s all a person needs.
On my days I will always keep myself smiling to make myself feel a lot better. I say to myself “I’m always smiling for no reason” and that’s a good thing because life is too short to be unhappy. Every time when I have bad days I continue to be happy because God sees everything what’s going on and he understands but no one else does.
This helps so much because that could brighten someone’s day just like in the article.
Lesson 1- People who are always in a good mood.
Lesson 2- I can but I’m only a kid right now and can’t really do anything.
Lesson 3- When I see some one with Down syndrome I feel bad.
Lesson 4- K feel like k don’t really affect the people around me. I don’t really make anyone’s lives better or worse around me.
Lesson 1 :
People who start off there day in a good mood can help transmit that same energy to the people around them.
Lesson 2 :
I honestly feel like anything is possible with hard work and sacrifice.
Lesson 3 :
I disagree, I don’t feel any type of way when I speak with someone with down Syndrome, It actually motivates me.
Lesson 4 :
To make this world a little better, I try to be nice and kind to everyone and have a positive attitude throughout the day.
If I see a sick person or a person laying in a hospital bed I will feel sorry for that person because I will not know what all that person been through and I will love to help that person because I have a caring heart and it’s a lot of different peoples in the world and they might not feel the way that I feel.
I really try to make everyone’s lives better. I treat people with respect and I’m always willing to help. I always try to make jokes and be peppy hoping that it will get passed on.
I think if more people did that, more people would start off their day with joy.
I could if I wanted, I just need to donate my time in doing what I want to.
My first thought is I feel bad for them. But I have a cousin with Down syndrome and I don’t judge others.
I don’t think I make other people around me worst, but maybe I could do stuff to make it better. I try to not be rude. I try and have respect for people.
#1: I think people that are looking forward to their day would dance across the parking lot. Most people aren’t starting their day with a positive attitude, unlike Tim, and so they normally wouldn’t dance across the parking lot. He’s just giving people, his customers, another reason to smile when starting their day.
#2: I know I can work hard and go to college just like Tim did. I don’t have any major challenges, as bad as Tim, and I have the perseverance to push myself and go to college. I may not enjoy school, but I know I’m going to and need to further my education.
#3: When I see someone with Down Syndrome, I first think that I’m lucky. People with Down syndrome face many more challenges in their day, than I normally do. People with Down Syndrome have many talents, and they don’t need to hide them.
#4: I don’t have a negative attitude when I’m with people, and I’m normally a pretty happy person. So, I would think that I’m making the lives around me better. I don’t really take note on what I do everyday to make the world a better place, but I imagine I’m doing a pretty good job.
#1 people don’t dance in a parking lot because they would get laughed at.
#2 this is very true because if you work hard at it, you can do anything.
# 3 what goes trough my mind when I here Down syndrome, I think of some one who is mentally challenged.
#4 it’s hard to say if I make the world worse or better, you would have to ask someone else.
Lesson 1: I don’t think more people do the “magic dance” because they,ll be embarrassed of what people think.
Lesson 2: If you have a dream or goal in mind, chase it. There will be obstacles and you can decide to keep going or stop there, but if you really have a goal, you’ll chase it and keep going. Tim had a dream of owning a restraunt so he did everything thing he could to accomplish his goal. He didn’t let the fact that he had downsyndrom get in the way of his dream.
Lesson 3: When I see someone with downsyndrom I feel bad for them. I feel like they struggle in school and sometimes get made fun of.
Lesson 4: To make this place a little better, I try to be nice and kind to everyone and have a positive attitude throughout the day.
Do you make the lives of those around you better or worse? In my opinion I think that I make them better because if my friends or family ever need to talk to me about anything I am usually always there and I can usually help them when they need it. What do you do to make the world a better place on a daily basis? I try to be a positive person and save energy by turning lights off when they are not necessary.
That is really cool, and inspires me.

Tristan, thanks for the comment. I’d like more thoughts next time.
This seems like a cool place to visit.
Tim has a positive attitude he has many struggles that he has to face but he’s been successful in life even with all these hardships. Anyone can do anything they set their mind to do. You just have to work hard. I just see them as different I normally don’t pay attention to them at all. I think I make them better I always try my best and try to be a leader.
This blog post was very interesting and fascinating. It was fascinating beacuse somebody with Down Syndrome was able to everything. They wanted to do in life. It was interesting because Tim had certain things he did to start his day every morning that put smiles on there faces
Lesson #1
Tim must really have a positive attitude, he starts his day with happiness and joy and it carries with him throughout the day. I think that everyone should do this, our world would be a much better place.
1) People dont usually do that because they are too embarrassed or too self centered to dance around in public.
2.) I can! 😀
3.) Someone who has trouble with things.
4.) I try to help people out who are in trouble and pick up garbage.
I absolutely love seeing any type of disabled child, or adult, do what they strive to do. For the questions left on Lesson #4, I think they aren’t really questions to ask yourself, they’re more for OTHERS to tell YOU. I’d like to think I make others days better, but frankly, I can’t be the judge of that, it’s all their perspective. I do, although, want to make a broad change in the world, I want to be remembered for all the things I did. Whether it being my physical aspect and ability, or my personality.
1. I personally think that I make people’s lives around me better because people always say that I’ve helped them or made the happy.
2. I try to make the world a better place by trying to make people happy and make sure they have a good day.
I wouldn’t do what Tim calls his happy dance because I’d get a lot of weird looks but I wouldn’t judge someone if they did so. I think that some people don’t accomplish as much just because they are being lazy or just don’t want to. When I see someone with Down syndrome I fell sorry for them because I know there are people who make fun of others in that condition. I treat others with respect because they might treat me back in the same way, if you make it worse for others they will return the favor most likely.
The first thing I think of when I see a person with Down syndrome is “I am so sorry” I too feel pity for disabled people. I try to make people’s lives better by being kind and compassionate.
It really does seem with the world friendliest restaurant. I would totally come and eat there (depending on the location). Tim seems really positive, even though running a restaurant is a lot of work.
1. Dancing is fun. Why shouldn’t he is the real question. I would dance too, depending on my business.
2. Some people want things more than other people.
3. I agree. People with disabilities are gifts. When I see a person with a disability, I don’t necessarily feel any different if I was talking to someone without one.
4. I’m not sure how I make the other people feel. My friends would say I make their
Life better, but other people may not say that.
#1 I think dancing on your way to work is a fun way to start the day and more people should do it.
#2 his story is very motivating because many people don’t understand that hard work will pay off in the end
#3 I agree with this because many people have pity for them and instead they should be thinking how wonderful and special they are
#4 I don’t do very much to influence life’s. I try to make people laugh and smile every day, that’s how I make a small difference
1: Because he is happy to go to work and has a problem that he doesn’t work like everyone else does, he has a disability.
2: I can because he proved that if you work hard then you can achieve your goal.
3: I always feel bad and wish I could help them because if that were me I know my life would be very hard.
4: I try my best to be the best and to be the nicest I can be, I try to give my all and I try to make a mark in the world.
Lesson #2
Tim seems like a very passionate and successful man. I agree with him, if you have a goal and no matter what life throws without you. You can achieve any goal.
Lesson #3
That’s the same thing I thInk of. I would feel really bad for the person. I really should be thinking about Tim in a different way, not how I usually do.
Lesson #4
I think that I usually do a good job of making people around me happier. I always smile at them and have friendly conversations with them. But I need to work on being a better person even when I’m feeling down.
Nobody dances because people will look and judge. When I see a person like Tim I feel sad because they are like that but I’m also glad that I didn’t have to go through that in my life. I like to think I leave a positive impression on people and hope that they like me and enjoy my company as much as I enjoy theirs.
1. More people don’t do that because they like going to work, they just go to get it over with and pay their bills.
2.Tim owning a restaurant with a disability shows us that even with something that impacts us in life we can make any of our dreams come true.
3. I alway think of how hard of them thinking that they can’t be like every normal kid.
4. I would say i I don’t make it worse and don’t make it better, Tim is a very joyful person and some people aren’t.
I love how Tim does his dance each morning, it’s good to get your body and mind moving in a fun way. To know at a young age what you are doing in the future is impressive and to be as dedicated as Tim is, is rare in this day in age. It’s always better to know that you’ve worked for what you have achieved. Knowing that he has Down Syndrome people including would take pity on him but I like how he strongly believes and knows that everyone is equal, and he has proven that fact with his achievements. You never know if you’re going to be here tomorrow so it’s a great idea to leave a positive impact everyday. I believe I make the lives around me better, I always try to make people laugh and be in a good mood. I try to be helpful thoughout my days whenever I can, I try to volunteer with things whenever I can.
When I think of someone with a disability I think how amazing they are for being able to stay positive with what they have to live with.
I honestly don’t pay attention to if I make the world better or worse, but I believe that I make it more better than I do worse. I go up to classmates and say hi and sit down next to them and talk. Even if they’re new I talk to them.
#1: I think the reason why some people do that is because they are embeeressed to dance.
#2: I believe anyone one can accomplish anything. You just have to put your mind to it.
#3: i feel sorry for them and I’m happy for what I have.
#4: I pick trash up on the halls so others don’t.
I guess I have to say that in my opinion I would ask what the big deal really is but that would be rude. Personally football isn’t a big interest and based on others things that are happening in the world it isn’t that big. I’m not really sure what a good punishment would have been, maybe sit out a few games? Have a interview for all player involved? Depends, everyone cheats and everyone will always cheat, it may be intentional or non-intentional but I prefer knowing I earned my win myself.
1. Because people think that is weird, or they hate their job.
2. I believe and know I can do that.
3. Self-reliance
4. I give everything my effort and full ability.
Tim treats his costumes with a lot of respect and he’s so,done that everyone can model themselves after. He hugs all of his customers so everyday he is giving out good positive energy.
I think that I make people around me a little bit happier because I am goofy and funny and I can bring people up when they are down. I give people compliments and make sure they are doing okay when they seem a down or sad about something.
I try to keep a positive attitude everyday, because I know that many others around me have it worse. That’s why I try to be thankful for everything I have. When I see anyone with syndrome I don’t feel sorry for them, because god made them the way they are and we are beautiful in our own way. This is a wonderful idea and more people should think about this. I also understand that some people might not want to be hugged, because they might think that it’s intruding on their personal space, but sometimes the right people need a hug no matter what.
This is a really nice blog. I try to keep happy as well. I help my friend not kill people?
Do what you love. Love what you do
Have a good attitude, and these lessons are a good way on your everyday life to do it.
If you can dream you can do it
This is great he had a dream and didn’t let a barrier get in his way. It is also great that he can be an example for everyone else too.
This really is a good dream they should do this
It shows that he did not give up and he followed his dream since the age of 14.
This was really good it spoke to me a lot and taught me a lot.
This story was very good and it influenced me to be the best at whatever i do and do it with a good spirit just like Tim did in this story.
I think Tim was trying to say was you should be able to do what makes you happy. Whatever makes you happy should make the people around happy for you.
I think that its good. I also think the story teaches me is to do what you want to do and love it.
This article influences me to have a positive attitude every day , and not have a negative toward our community or people .
I think that its good for him but if every restaurant had this then it would feel weird and won’t feel as special as Tim’s restaurant. Plus I am not a hugging person but if it was him i would give a hug because its really sad to see someone like that but im happy that he could follow his dream and i like the blog.
Good that he never gave up and now he owns his own restaurant.
Good thing I read this story because I didn’t now that if you start your day with a dance then your day will stay positive the whole day.
I feel as if he spreads the love towards other it will change the way that people feel towards others with down-syndrome. Also, it shows that he respects his customers.
This was a good example to show that even if you have disabilities you can still do things that other people can do. It is also cool about how he continued with his dream at owning a restaurant.
Its really good i wish all restaurants was like that and that everyone can be a better person.
This passage teaches you not to care about what disease someone has but whats on the inside.
This really encouraged me to use these lessons in my everyday life. Thank you.
Since Tim has down syndrome, and owned a restaurant i think that he is very brave and courteous because he wanted other people to be loved like he did.
I think that this could really help people in the long round. Having a good attitude could lead to many things like how Tim kept going to pursue his dream.
More restaurants should do the same thing and maybe if they did the same things that this place did they would probably have more customers. Its a good thing that he took his dream and followed through on it.
I think Tim is an inspiration to kids with disabilities. He should keep spreading the love and joy he puts in peoples hearts.
This was really motivating. He proves if you pursue your dreams anything is possible. Never doubt yourself.
What this article means to me is that you can accomplish what you want when you put your little heart to it.
It took Tim a long way to get there i bet, seeing that he has down syndrome, after knowing what this restaurant is I really want to go there.
Just getting a hug can really make a difference, sometimes people had a rough day and all they need is a hug to know that somebody cares and love them.
This made me want to be more a more ad idealist and optimistic like having the attitude and mind set that the cup is half way full.
Thank you Tim
Honestly I try to make others day better, and I am still working on that. This is very impressive especially with the fact that he did not give up! Amazing.
I love how Tim didn’t let his Down Syndrome stop him from running his restaurant. I also loved how he didn’t let other people bring him down and tell him he couldn’t run the restaurant.
That is very nice. More restaurants should do this so we can have a friendlier place to live in. Also, it’s amazing that a person with down syndrome can do so much. God bless him.
This is very sweet and i wish i can go there!!! He’s gonna be a very busy man now that his restaurant is full of people !!
Being kind to others is really important because it can give a lot of benefits in life
Kayla smiths reply
Good blog but,I think that him giving everyone a hug when they leave is cute but however, it could get a little old.
Laila Muhammad-Pena’s Reply:I feel bad that he has Down Syndrome. Down Syndrome is very rare and not many people are born with it. People can laugh or make jokes about his disabilities which is not really a joke. This lesson taught me a lot. It is a nice articual.
I think that all restaurants should do this to get more customers and it shows that people can have good attitudes so other people could like him to.
every restaurant should be family friendly. they should take out the hugging every customer because that is kind of werid.
Wow! He owns a restaurant and was a player at the Olympics! That is the most astonishing thing I ever heard of! Plus he has Down Syndrome.. I am sorry for him, I feel bad, but hey! He got many hugs!
i think they are trying to say ork hard and dont give up
He is a very strong about his self and maybe he wants us to to feel sorry for him and we should take a tough obstacle to succeed
Tim had down syndrome and he wanted a restaurant and he got it so that means he did not give up with his dreams even if he was sick or not.
He is trying to make his costumer feel safe around him. He is also trying to get to know all his costumers as well.
i like this article because it shows that disability or no disability you can make your dreams come true
The article is very interesting. It makes me so happy knowing that someone that kind is making others smile.
I think that was nice at the end and how if you can put your mind to something no matter what you have you can achieve anything you want
I thought that this was an lesson to other people that no matter what you can still do what you want to. Every body should try this. Tim actually is a great person, and he knows that he should not give up his dream.
I think that this story really is a good. Even though he had down syndrome he is still going for his dreams/goals.
I think he is doing a Fantastic job on his resturant. He makes me want to go over their with my family someday. And Tim if your reading this. That means you did a great job.
If you keep your dream it may come true at a young age.
I think everyone should head to work like this, with a smile on their face and a good attitude.
I think it is great that he perused what he was passionate about and he goes to work everyday happy and excited.
1.Tim is giving himself joy every day
2.Some people have a dream other than owning a restaurant
3.I feel the same way and I am happy that I don’t have to deal with that
4.I feel like I make people’s lives better but maybe I make it worse
I think the video was good and the guy had a good attitude every time he went to work.
1.Only kindhearted people actually do the dance, Many people probably don’t do this dance beacause they may think that it’s lame
2. People may not do this because they think that it requires a lot of work and talent, and people are just plain lazy.
3. My first thought when I see someone with down-syndrome I don’t really think anything, why should we they’re human just like us no need to have such a rare thought.
4. I don’t really change them, because I’d rather not incite into their private issues to try and help because that will bring them more misery.
It is a very emotional video and I am also very surprised that he opened up a restraunt like that
I think that what he does is awesome and that we should do what we are passionate about, and not let any obstacles stop us. We should try to make the people around us happy, like he does to his customers.
I think that its important to have a good attitude and that every restaurant should be this friendly and welcoming.
A person that has joyful character and is always happy.(lesson 1)
Lesson #1 – It’s Nice to start to get a good and fun attitude before you start to work
Lesson #2 – It’s really amazing that he got to pursue his dreams with hard work some people don’t think that can happen
Lesson #3 – I’d Feel bad for them but its also right to think about whats in them they can still do thing we can do and do things we can’t and things we can do the maybe can’t.
Lesson #4 –Always Stay Positive 🙂
1:i don’t know how does the dance “magic dance” and the dance will make people be laugh at
2: i can but i am still young
3: if I see some one with down syndrome I feel bad and i would try to help so bad and ask them if there ok.
4:i would not affect any one around me or make them good
lesson 1 : only positive people do that
lesson 2: I can because i am willing to be a doctor and i will
lesson 3: i would feel bad for them i would be happy for them
lesson 4: i think its good to make people happy you get good deeds
Q1. He wants to start his day happylie and most peaple dont do this because their not as nice and happy
Q2. He had lots of trust in him self
Q3. I feel sad but im also happy they have the same feelings.
Q1. He wants to start his day happily and most people don’t do this because their not as nice and happy
Q2. He had lots of trust in him self
Q3. I feel sad but im also happy they have the same feelings.
🙂
I think this kind of person has good character and is always joyful(Lesson 1)
I can because if i put it in my goals i can do anything i want.(lesson 2)
What would come in my mind is i would feel sorry for him.(lesson 3)
I make it better because I am kind and helpful(lesson 4)
I think that everyone who owns a place they should be excited about it and have a good attitude. The fact that even though he has down syndrome he still accomplished his dream. I think that even though someone can have down syndrome they can still do anything even if they have hardships. I try to make people laugh even if they are sad happy or mad I still like making people laugh its one of the things I enjoy doing.
Lesson 1 : More people don’t dance to work because this is something that Tim has be dreaming about since age 14 so he is happy every day that he didn’t let anything get in his way to complete his dream. Lesson 2: I think that this lesson is a good one because a person with Down Syndrome accomplished his dream so he still didn’t give up. Lesson 3: Even if a person has Down Syndrome if they have hope they can do anything. Lesson 4: I make the world a better place because i help people that are in need.
I feel like everyone should head to work like this guy, this is great.
#1) Because the only look at the negative things of their work. I think more people should greet their customers with a smile, hug, etc
#2) I think that if people with drown syndrome or some kind of autism like that can do it with a whole bunch or hard work, then so can other people that don’t have an obstacle like that.
#3) I feel that they can do awesome things
#4) I help people and do community service
I think it’s good he starts his day doing something that makes him happy. It is also good that he pursued doing a career that he is passionate about. It is good that he is fine with what he has (Down Syndrome)and doesn’t feel pity on himself. It is nice that he tries to make other people he sees happy.
1. People don’t appreciate their jobs.
2. People think just because their normal they don’t need things in life.
3. If I saw a person like Tim I would feel bad for him or her at first but then I won’t because people like Tim we shouldn’t feel bad for them because their people like us and have the same goal as us but they just need a little bit more trying to reach their goal so their really no different but I would be glad to help one of them.
4. I make it better because I would help the people in need and I would try to make them smile and laugh because the world is not worth being sad or mad life is short you might as well make the best of it by having a smile on your face.

Lesson #3: Even though he has down syndrome he can still do what he wants and he doesn’t pity himself

lesson 3- i feel bad but if they are living life to the fullest, i feel happy for them ignoring the bad and staying positive

Lesson#3 Even though he has down syndrome he still has positive attitude.
Lesson#4 it’s great cares for other people than just himself.
1.The reason not everyone else does that is because not everyone has a good attitude and character like him.
2.We can do what he did if we just always try to do what we believe in.
3.The first thought I have when I see someone with down syndrome is I want to be their friend.
4.Yes I make the world better on a daily basis because I don’t litter and I recycle.
i think that this camp is really fun because i get to meet new friends and learn more about the school i am going to.
Lesson #1
People who are always in a good mood.
Lesson #2
Tim seems like a very passionate and successful man. I agree with him, if you have a goal and no matter what life throws without you. You can achieve any goal.
Lesson #3
That’s the same thing I thInk of. I would feel really bad for the person. I really should be thinking about Tim in a different way, not how I usually do.
Lesson #4
I think that I usually do a good job of making people around me happier. I always smile at them and have friendly conversations with them. But I need to work on being a better person even when I’m feeling down
I think its great that he has done that, he’s accomplished more than some people can that don’t have DS. I wish more restaurants would run by the standards that he does, if they learned from him their business would be better and probably run better.
I think that this is awesome because I have never seen someone with down syndrome own a restaurant or be so successful.
This video and story was so sweet. I think it’s wonderful the way Tim lives his life.. He just wants to bring light and love into everyone’s life and I really believe that’s the best way to live.
Lesson #1- I think we should have happy dances and be excited to make each day better than yesterday.
Lesson #2- I believe anyone can do anything they set their mind to.
Lesson #3- The first thought is love. I appreciate what they do for this world. They spread constant love. That’s great.
Lesson #4- I try to improve the lives around me.. I try to be positive.
Not many people have that much joy and passion and not many people would be as happy as Tim every day. I think it is awesome that Tim approaches life in such a good and positive attitude even while having a syndrome that a lot of people don’t have. Tim leaves a good mark on the world every day by his character and attitude. Tim is a very good leader to look up to.
It is important to have an attitude like that of Tim’s. He realizes that even though he is just serving food, he can help people to have a better day and better experience at his restaurant by the way he carries himself; by having a positive attitude.
I like how he treats every day like his last.
I think that what Tim is doing is amazing. He is showing everyone what he can achieve and I love the fact that kindness plays such an important role in his life and restaurant. By following Tim’s example other restaurants could improve their businesses and create a better environment for the customers.
Lesson #1
People who are always in a positive mood and look at the good side of life.
Lesson #2
Tim seems like a very positive person and his positive outlook has made him very successful. I agree with Tim, if you have a goal in life you should go for it and not let limitations slow you down.
Lesson #3
When I see someone with Down Syndrome I immediately smile because they always have a positive attitude and they always make me want to be their friend.
Lesson #4
I make the environment around me as positive as possible because I try to see the good in everything.
This is the most adorable thing I have heard in a long while.
The way he approaches every day with a positive attitude regardless of the unfortunate issues he faces is very inspiring.
I agree, because if you work with a positive attitude you get the job done faster
I love that he always has a positive attitude no matter what. It should always be like this.
this is a really good thing to do.
I think that all restraurants should do this as a whole and not just the manager or the owner but the whole crew but if I was there to eat they would make my day.
This is a positive view on how people with disabilities can achieve great things too, and are the masters of positivity.
I got to give Tim some credit he is quite the business man and is very determined.
I think that everybody should approach the day with this kind of attitude
lession 1: more people dont do this because they would be embarrased
lession 2: more people dont do this because it would take a lot of work
lession 3: when i see someone with down syndrom i dont do anything
lession 4: everybody around me likes me so i think i am good to them
I’m really good at having an attitude and regardless of the unfortunate issues was very inspiring to me
Tim’s Place is a very well-oriented establishment. Imagine how much more people would want to eat out if every restaurant treated their customers the same as Tim.
This was a good article.
Ayeee i like it
I think this website gives a good point because other people have it worse than us so if they can do it you can do it too.
I think this is great and I would love to go to this restaurant since a lot of restaurants are rude and mean.
This article is very inspiring because he had a dream and accomplished it even if he has down syndrome. I think that more restaurant s showed do this because it can bring positivety to lots of peoples days.
I think story was very good, this person with demonstrate that he could do it and demonstrate that never give up
I think more people don’t dance on their way to work because they haven’t been dreaming about that job since they were 14 and aren’t as passionate about it. I like that he dances on his way to work and I think that more people should follow their dreams.
1) Happy people and people who don’t care what other people think Because they are embarrassed
2) You just try to try hard
3) I feel bad
This shows that people that is already going through tough times can show every single person kindness.
I think i make the people around me have better lives because i make people laugh. I cheer people up on a daily basis.
I think if more restaurants have more workers like Tim they would have more business, and make more money.
This was something I feel everyone should read before they start their week. It’s crazy how good reading this made me feel.
I think that this is awesome! I believe that everyone should have a mind set like Tim, wake up every day and be excited for what is to come!
I try to make the world a better place by reaching out to someone everyday. If I notice someone is upset or somethings else I try to reach out in person or text them. I let them know if they need a friend or someone to talk to, I’m always there!
I think this shows that people are more happy when they have a good attitude
I think this is cool because not everyone actually does what they want to. Tim wanted to do this and he had to overcome some obstacles, but by doing so he has accomplished his dream of owning a restaurant and making the world a better place.
1. nobody does that i guess. My guess for people not dancing in a parking lot of there job because they don’t own the place they only work there and who would want to dance in a place you have to work for somebody?
2. Well if i apply myself i can do anything down syndrome or not i just have believe in myself simple.
3. When i see a down syndrome person i assume they are very smart and nice. Never judge a book by its cover.
4. When im at work i try to be the most positive , motivational person there but it’s like it comes off annoying and bothering sooooo yea. To make the world a better place i try to mind my business.

1. I try to make others happy even on my down days because i don’t like seeing people sad
2. What i do to “make the world a better place” is help my mom when she needs it, or clean up something outside.
1. I’ve never seen anyone dancing in a parking lot. But to those who don’t i wouldn’t blame them its a place of work not a place of dance.
2. Anyone can do anything if they have down syndrome or not you just have to believe you can and it’ll happen.
3. When i see someone with down syndrome i kinda feel bad because i feel they don’t live a regular life and can’t really enjoy things like we do.
4. When i’m at work i’m usually nice unless if have to be rude. But to make the world a better place i try to stay to myself and not get in anyone’s buisness.
I think if more restaurants have more workers like Tim they would have more business, and make more money.
I have been doing wrong things going places a child should not be seen in or do the things I did to get there . But I have been on this website for a quiet good time. This website helps me makes me be a better person . Helping me avoid fights and arguing . It’s like the website is the best thing happened to me . My teachers will be glad I came back as a new person. I like this website a lot. I might use it as long as I live. I might even pass it on to my kids and others . If you think this website is boring or doesn’t help then you are wrong. It breaks down to the sades things to the most positive things. I even learned about a new person Mattie . >>>>>>>>>> THANKS TO THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS
Lesson #1: More people don’t do this because they are either in a hurry all of the time or don’t want people to judge them for doing that action. People don’t want others to think that they are doing weird actions. In life people are going to judge you for things you do, you can’t help that but if the action you are doing makes you happy or feel good you should do it.
Lesson #2: If Tim could do this with a disability anyone should be able to do it. The more determined you are to get to your goal the faster you will get to it. If you don’t think you can make it to your goal then you probably won’t be able to make it.
Lesson #3: My first thought is I feel bad if I treat them different but I also feel bad if I they are made to do something they can’t. I Don’t want to make them feel bad about themselves if they can’t do the task they are supposed to do. I think Tim has such a great outlook on life.
Lesson #4: I think I make people around more happy because I smile and make people laugh all of the time. I make the place around people a better place by helping them out and trying to make everyone happy.
Tim can make a lot of people happy just by observing him and his story, and I think I make the lives of those around me better or worse depending on the type of person.
I feel like more people with disabilities should do things like Tim Harris and people should support them all the way through there adventures
Lesson 1: People don’t do sort of thing because of awkwardness and they think it is embarrassing. Personally I wouldn’t do it because I’m not a dancer haha but I wouldn’t make fun of anyone for doing this.
Lesson 2: Running and owning any business is not my strong suit, but I do believe that if ANYONE out there wants to do it, then they can, it’ll take a lot of hard work but if that’s your dream then it is well worth it.
Lesson 3: When I see anybody with a disability, I treat them like a human. I know that no one out there wants to be looked down upon or even pitied because of how their brain functions biologically.
Lesson 4: I believe that I make people’s days better if I am close to them. Me, personally, I don’t care about anyone except for my loved ones. If I had to choose between a friend or my mother, it would be my mother everytime. So yes, people that I am close to I effect positively.
Lesson 1: People who are positive and passionate about what they do. More people do not do this because they display a lack of interest in their field or they do not know how to express themselves.
Lesson 2: There is no reason why you cant, but a lack of motivation can lead to you not reaching your goals
Lesson 3: The first thing I think is how bad does their down syndrome effect them.
Lesson 4: Id say I have little to no effect on the people around me.
Lesson 1: Most people do not do it because they are afraid of people or are embarrassed to engage with other people.
Lesson 2: I can do it but it will take some time.
Lesson 3: When I see somebody with down syndrome it makes me sad but its also nice to see that they are happy and always positive.
Lesson 4: I try to make others people days better by being polite but I do not want to always be in the persons business as well.
Lesson #1
People who are always in a positive mood and look at the good side of life.
Lesson #2
Tim seems like a very positive person and his positive outlook and consistency has made him very successful. I agree with Tim, if you have a goal in life you should go for it and not let limitations slow you down.
Lesson #3
When I see someone with Down Syndrome I honestly feel bad but they do make me smile \ because they always have a positive and happy attitude and they always make me want to be their friend.
Lesson #4
I make the environment around me as positive as possible because I try to see the good in everything, i try to separate myself from those that bring negativity.
Lesson #1 – Tim views things in a optimistic way. More people don´t do this because they tend to look more on the negative side of things. Most people don´t enjoy going to their job because they aren´t doing something they love. Tim however is working his dream job that he enjoys so much he doesnt consider it work.
Lesson #2 – People tend to limit and make excuses for themselves just because of the obsticles that stand in their way. Tim never let anything stand in his way, not even a disability therefore nobody has any excuse as to why they cant pursue their dreams.
Lesson #3 – The first thing that comes to my mind when I see someone wit Down Syndrome is I wonder how they feel. I wonder what their everyday life consist of and it they´re happy or not. I feel bad for them a little bit but I try to keep a positive mind. They dont feel sorry for themselves so why should I?
Lesson #4 – I always try to make the lives of those around me better. I try to treat people the way id like to be treated and not be unnecessarily negative. I give the same energy id like to receive.
Lesson 1: I think people should have their own way of encouging themselves. We can not wait for people to pump us up in life. Tim has a dance some people could have a song they sing to everyday.
Lesson 2: We use excuses to hide behind to keep us from reaching our dreams and I think it really comes down to fear and laziness. We are sacred of failure as well.
Lesson 3: When I think of people with down syndrome I think about how the world looks through their eyes and what they can see that we can not see. They see the world in a whole new light and it always has me wondering about what goes through their heads and how they would solve certain problems.
Lesson 4: I try to be kind to everyone and even if I am mad. Even if they are rude to me they could be having a bad day today.
Lesson 1: I believe more people don’t dance because they are afraid of being embarrassed. They could also be worrying about all of their struggles in life so they don’t dance.
Lesson 2: I believe anyone can do anything as long as they put their mind and heart into it.
Lesson 3: The first thing that goes through my mind when I see a person with down syndrome is how bad I feel for them and how hard life could be with that and how me or anyone I know could have been born that way.
Lesson 4: I feel like I do a bit of both. But I can have a better attitude to make the world a better place.
Lesson #1: people who are very enthusiastic about their job.
Lesson#2: I feel like obstacles are a normal part of life. Its about how you handle these obstacles and move forward.
Lesson#3: People are still people at the end of the day, I see someone with down syndrome as a regular person who can accomplish the same things as others.
Lesson#4: Honestly I feel like I leave a positive mark on others. I say this because, I’m always wondering how others are doing. So I smile and ask them about their day and give good positive advice.
lesson 1: more people don’t do it due them not being happy about what they do
#2:most people are not motivated enough to put there effort sin
#3:hes speical in his own way he just found his
#4:make someones day better of than you left it
I wish I was so happy to come to work that I did a happy dance in the parking lot every morning too
This is a cool thing to visit
This is cool for better or worse depending on the type of person
I feel like I make people feel good because I like to smile ???? a lot and I am very energetic and that make people feel good ????????????
Very nice ????
Lesson #1: People that do that, are very comfortable and happy about their job. More people should dance in the morning to get their day started and boost their confidence.
Lesson#2: Tim was a responsible and dedicated man. He didn’t let his disability stop him. If Tim did it, I know I can be something in life. No matter what happen in life and what it offer, you should always do your best to accomplish great things, no matter what life throws at you!
Lesson#3: The first thought that came to mind when I saw someone with Down syndrome is that they are people that have a disability and would always be people that would never live a normal life or be anything.
Lesson #4: I think I make the life of others better because when I see someone I smile and speak. You can’t have a negative attitude towards people because you never know what they are going through.
I think every restaurant employee or owner should greet every customer. If Tim can dream big with down syndrome and be able to accomplish his dream; any other person should be able too. If you own a restaurant greet them in and out and say positive things to them which could bring in more business.
I personally think that´s cool making people’s lives around me better because people always say that I’ve helped them or made the happy.
I personally think that´s cool making people’s lives happier just by doing small stuff like hugging them and cheering them up.
I think that both Tim and the restaurant are encouraging Tim being the only restaurant owner with down syndrome shows that you are able to make do with whatever cards you are dealt good or bad.
1. People that are always in a good mood.
2. We can do what he did if we believed in ourselves.
3. When i see someone with Down Syndrome i feel bad for them.
4. I feel like i can be both sometimes.
Tim’s ability to reach his dream depended pretty heavily upon his parents’ support. To me, this really shows the importance of having good leaders (in this situation, his parents). It also depends on his attitude, and you can see how his attitude impacts his customers.
The video shows no matter what the challenges were. Tim pushed through and over came them with a good attitude. he was a good owner and leader for his restaurant and showing what attitude they should have.
I think that if everyone had the positive attitude that tim has and set goals no matter what the obsticles are that you can and will make your dreams be reality. Wether people try to bring you down or tell you that you wont ever be anything. show them that you can do what you want to do and now one can stop you. YOU are the only person that will hold you back when facing adversity.
I’m with Bruce don’t let know one bring you down if you have your mind set to it do it, the things they say about you are only words they cant prove what they are saying because there not you you make your mind on what you want to believe in its your life live life the way you want to not the way anybody else wants you to live it, prove to the people that try to bring you down that you can do anything that you set your mind to.
Tim came into work every day, with a positive attitude. He was very enthusiastic, and ready to work. He had a disability, but he didn’t let that stop him. Tim was very positive, and that reflected on to the other people in his restaurant.
I liked how you talked about how he had a positive mental attitude.
I think that what Tim is doing is positive, because he is friendly to everyone. He comes to work everyday with a positive attitude and brightens peoples day. He accomplished his dream, even though he had some obstacles in his way. He cares about his business and the people that come in it. He appreciates everything people do for him.
Tims attitude towards everyone is happy and joyful and that affects alot of people and can chang their day around and maybe their life. No matter what abstacles you are goin through if you can dream it you can do it.
1. I fill like people don’t do it because they don’t fill happy about there job like he does because they don’t care about the job they just care about the pay check at the end of the day.
2. because i don’t have my mind set on the future i have my set on the present.
3. i don’t see somebody with down syndrome as different from us i see them as the same, just because they have down syndrome doesnt make them different they still have hearts and feelings just like us.
4. i make the world a better place, i give to people in need, i give to the poor or the homeless because they need it way more then i do.
This video was inspiring because you don’t usually see a person with a disability own their own business, this video made me want to attack my goals even more.
lesson#1 The reason some people don’t dance before work is etheir they don’t like their jobs or they just do not want to be embarresed.
lesson#2 Their is absoulutly no reason no one should have an excuses to fall their dreams they are just to lazy to fall them they just want to set down and act like they don’t have the potential to do their work or work for their chance or just show effort.
lesson#3 some people despise others with disablilites and try and bring them down. Tim is a great example of how to succeed in life and he loves doing what he does.
lesson#4 I feel that i leave a positive mark on others because when someone is having a bad day i try to make them smile or laugh because the slightest bit of kindness it can make someones day better even if doesn’t atleast you know that they are their for you.
I’m with Bruce don’t let know one bring you down if you have your mind set to it do it, the things they say about you are only words they cant prove what they are saying because there not you you make your mind on what you want to believe in its your life live life the way you want to not the way anybody else wants you to live it, prove to the people that try to bring you down that you can do anything that you set your mind to.
I thought it was really cool how he opened his restaurant even though he was challenged. He didn’t let it get the best of him and accomplished his goal. I also like that he always was happy and always had a smile on his face and made people feel better.
Watching Tim’s video makes me happy. To know that even through his disability, he works hard and achieves his goals. His family supports him and it makes him more confidant in what he is doing for other people. No matter what happens in life you can always come out with a positive view on life and change for the better. When he hugs people it makes their day better.
I think that the attitude and grit that Tim shows is spreading to all of the people that enter his restaurant. Although he was affected by some major obstacles he kept dreaming his dreams and working to achieve them. I think we can all learn something from Tim and how he never gave up when faced with a seemingly impossible challenge.
Tim had a dream and he accomplished it. This shows that no matter what obstacles are in your way, you can always do what you put your mind to. I’m sure people doubted Tim and never thought that he would accomplish his dreams but he didn’t let that get in the way of doing what he wanted to do. He knew what he wanted, worked for it, and got it.
I think that if everyone had a positive attitude like Tim, set goals then you could do anything or be anything that you wanted. If you have a positive attitude then you can accomplish anything from running your own restaurant to competing in the Olympics you just have to have a positive attitude. Only you can bring yourself down and hold yourself back from what you really want in life. There will be other people out there saying you can’t do it, but you have to push yourself to be your best and not let anyone make up your mind for you and diminish you.
I think that Tim has an amazing mindset, attitude is everything ans the fact that Tim has a great attitude will not only allow him to have a good day, but will directly correlate to his peers.
Due to his particular disability many or most people would’ve doubted the abilities that Tim could utilize. However, Tim had no doubts in his own ability to accomplish his dream of opening and owning his own restaurant. I think this topic ties in well with the lesson from Wednesday, in that you should believe in yourself and not to limit your own abilities. You have to believe in yourself even in times when no one else does.
Tim had a goal and a dream. With the help of his family and friends he was able to do something great and accomplish amazing things so far in his life. The restaurant doest only help him but his main theme of the restaurant is giving hugs and they cheer up everyone that goes in there.
Tim had a dream and he went through with it . This shows that no matter what disability you have or what is going on in your life, may that be good or bad, you can always do what you what you set your mind to. Tim realized what he wanted to do ,he worked hard worked for it, and in the end he made hundreds of people laugh and feel happy.I’m sure people bashed Tim and believed that he would accomplish his dreams and ambitions but he didn’t let that get in the way of doing what he wanted to do.
This is really cool that he overcame his disability and succeeded in his dream of having a resturant.
Our whole world would be completely different if everyone had an attitude like Tim’s. His mindset has let him overcome the obstacles that most people would not be able to. He is an optimist, and does not have a negative mindset.
I liked the video he dosen’t let anything hold him back and he’s always positive.
Tim’s attitude is something we all should strive for. He has had to overcome many things to become a successful restaurant owner. He had a lot of hardships along the way, yet his attitude pushed him through all of that. He set his mind to something and accomplished it. We can all take something away from watching this, if you have the right attitude, you can do anything you believe in.
Tim had a positive attitude and every day his focus was on brightening everyone’s day who around him. He didn’t let his disability define who he was. He knew he was more than just another person with down syndrome. Today he makes everyone’s day a little better.
I think everyone should have a positive attitude like Tim. If we approached every situation as he did we would accomplish so much in our everyday lives. He didn’t let his disability slow him down or ruin his dreams. If everyone had this mindset there is no telling what we could achieve.
I think everyone should have the attitude of Tim. If everyone had his attitude then the world would be a much better place with even better people.
I try to make a positive impact on everyone in my life.
I think everybody should use this because it will help you in the future.
I think everybody should use this. And It is very cool.
People should use this, it really helps.
I think that Tim has an amazing mindset, attitude is everything ans the fact that Tim has a great attitude will not only allow him to have a good day, but will directly correlate to his peers.
i think this is a very good restaurant because they are really friendly and not rude like other restaurants and its good that he is overcoming his down syndrome like even though his has down syndrome he doesn’t let it get the best of him.
Everybody needs to show some respect in life because all of that attitude and disrespect is not going to get you a long way.
Smile at everyone and let them know that they are welcomed
#1 I think dancing on your way to work is a fun way to start the day and more people should do it.
#2 his story is very motivating because many people don’t understand that hard work will pay off in the end
#3 I agree with this because many people have pity for them and instead they should be thinking how wonderful and special they are
#4 I don’t do very much to influence life’s. I try to make people laugh and smile every day, that’s how I make a small difference
The blog is really great. It gives the opportunity to gain insight on those with disabilities.
I think every restaurant employee or owner should greet every customer that decides to give their restaurant a visit. If Tim can dream with kindness and down syndrome and be able to accomplish his dream; anybody else should be able too. If you own a restaurant greet your customers in and out and say positive things to them which could lead them to coming back several times or even for a lifetime.
I think this blog motivates others to follow what they want in live and never to live up on what they think they can’t do because they can.
I feel like a dance across the parking lot ultimately raises your spirits.
I feel like a dance across the parking lot ultimately raises your spirits. This is good because you go into work with a positive attitude and it makes you ready to take on all things that come your way during work.
dancing across the parking lot boosts your energy. many others should very much consider it. with tim having down syndrome, and owning a restaurant that’s a big accomplishment… with that being said no one in the world should ever have any excuse into why they couldn’t do something.
#1 The reason why people don’t do that is because not everyone loves their job as much as Tim so they aren’t happy when going to work.
#2 There is a side effect of having down syndrome, it is called the savant effect, it is where they’re basically where they have a higher IQ than Ainan Celeste Cawley (with an IQ score of 263) ,but can’t even tie their shoes.
#3 Doesn’t state a Query.
#4 I will spare you with me having to tell you my life story I will say I don’t.
I think more people should do this. People that go to it will feel happier, and the world’s depression rate would drop due to the fact everyone is happy.
I think it really pays off being positive, because if you are in a bad situation it’s just easier to be negative but it really does help being positive. It lifts up your mood and most likely everyone else’s.
I like how he has a great attitude. It’s good that he involves his customers in on the friendliness too!
I like how he has a great attitude. It’s good that he involves his customers in on the friendliness too! This is good.
I think that if people around the world saw what Tim did, it could show them that so many things are possible for people with disabilities and also people without disabilities.
I believe that if everyone would be like Tim then our world would be such a better place. He has a great attitude!
I think that everyone should do something positive. It would really bring people up.
I loved seeing Tim and his restaurant. There should be more places like this. I am sad to hear that his restaurant is closing, but would be excited to find out how he is doing now moving with his girlfriend. Hope everything is great, and maybe he opens a new restaurant. 🙂
I think that everyone should be as kind as the people that run that resturant. It helps yourself to be kind to others and it obviously helps others.
its so great that you guys to be super friendly to your custumers
its so great that you guys to be super friendly to your customers and i would love to come here
I would support a restraunt like this
I like how happy and niced Tim is! I would love to go there are eat!
Great blog!
Great blog really enjoyed it!
It is great that he loves to show affection to his customers and is always happy serving them.
That is so great that Tim does that with his restaurant. It makes the world a better place.
Its great that you guys are really friendly to your customers and how he loves to serve hugs and is always grateful to serve them.
i agree but the ending hugging or touching is not a good idea especially with the things going on right now.
That’s honestly the best restaurant I’ve ever heard of. They won’t have to deal with rude customers and it seems like such a happy environment
It was a great thing to be that nice and I would like to go eat there sometime.
Lesson #1:
People who are in a good mood. Some people don’t start the morning off great..
Lesson #2:
You can if you want it bad enough
Lesson #3:
Sometimes I think they will need more help than others.
Lesson #4:
I try to make it better by spreading positivity.
I think every restaurant in the world needs workers like Tim. Every one should have a positive attitude going into everyday. The world needs more people like Tim.
It is mad that we still have racism in this world still
I feel like every resturaunt should be like this and always be excited to see you 🙂
I think this is an amazing mindset for a business. You can make such a big impact on the life around you, if you choose to. Tim doesn’t let his disability stop him from his dreams and how he lives his life.
I think that this is cool that they do this
I think we should have more people like Tim in the world because that makes people feel like somebody cares about you, I also like how happy and nice Tim is! I would love to go there are to eat!
I really like this post, because it shows the importance of simple acts of joy and kindness throughout the day.
I say every restaurant should do this. I agree strongly with this.
It is good that Tim does that with the restaurant. It makes everything better.
This is a very good and remarkable thing to think of considering the world we live in now this is very outgoing and positive
I think it’s good that someone with an illness like that made it so far. Some people might have made fun of him or something and he won gold medals and has his own restaurant. I like how he also tallies his hugs. That probably makes him happy to add more.
I think this is a really inspiring story that a down syndrome person was so dedicated to getting his dream that he went to college and was able to do it and is the friendliest restaurant in the world at that, but most people without mental challenges can’t even get that close nor even be a nice as he is.
Question: Do you make the lives of those around you better or worse? What do you do to make the world a better place on a daily basis?
I feel like I make everyone’s lives around me better. I’m just that cool and amazing obviously. I try my best to make friends with people I notice are struggling and I also pick up trash #coolkid
This guy is cool. U CANT SEE ME
amazing
Exquisite. My favorite blog
This is so cool. 10/10
Tim is a great person and more people need to look up to him as a person and coworker.
AMAZING, AWESOME, KIND, AND YES
This is awesome even though the man who owns the friendliest restaurant has down syndrome he is able to provide happiness to people who come into his restaurant.
This is awesome even though the man who owns the friendliest restaurant has down syndrome he is able to provide happiness to people who come into his restaurant. It’s cool that he does things like a magic dance to brighten the day for himself.
I think that Tim is genually happy to be Tim and he takes nothing in life for granted. There need to be more people like Tim in the world!
This is probably the most peaceful and kind restaurant on the planet a lot of other restaurants like waiters for example are rude most of the time but this place seems like a nice atmosphere.
I think this restaurant is amazing because it sounds like there is great customer service and it makes peoples day. It also sounds like they have good food. They also hug every customer if they want or need a hug.
Yes, If every restaurant we’re to give out hugs or give free stuff just simple little things would make the world a better place. Sometimes people need something to excite them or make them happy in a way for them to be good.
I agree!
I think this restaurant is very inspiring and I believe that more restaurants like this should excist.
I love how Tim does his dance each morning, it’s good to get your body and mind moving in a fun way. To know at a young age what you are doing in the future is impressive and to be as dedicated as Tim is, is rare in this day in age. It’s always better to know that you’ve worked for what you have achieved. Knowing that he has Down Syndrome people including would take pity on him but I like how he strongly believes and knows that everyone is equal, and he has proven that fact with his achievements. You never know if you’re going to be here tomorrow so it’s a great idea to leave a positive impact everyday. I believe I make the lives around me better, I always try to make people laugh and be in a good mood. I try to be helpful thoughout my days whenever I can, I try to volunteer with things whenever I can.
#1
People who are in a good mood can dance with joy, and just being happy. But the reason that most people don’t do it is because they could think it’s kind of strange.
#2
Tim was able to achieve his goal because he had passion and a willingness to learn. The reason that many people fail to do what they want to do is because they don’t put effort into making that dream become a reality.
#3
The first thought that I have when I see a person with a Down Syndrome is pity. I also feel thankful that I don’t have any kind of disease.
#4
Sometimes, when I’m angry, I make the people around me be in a bad mood. But most of the time I make people feel good by my actions.
I think Tim is very inspiring and people should look up to him.
I think Tim is very inspiring and people should look up to him. Having a positive attitude makes people happy.

1) Not many people do that and I think that they don’t do that because they don’t start their day like Tim or they maybe don’t love their work as much as Tim does.
2) I think that people could do it but they don’t see the world like Tim does and that is why people can’t do it like Tim does.
3)The first thing that comes to my mind is happiness and kindness because usually when people have Down syndrome they are very kind and happy.
4)I don’t know if I make their lives better or worse but I always ry to make people happy with kindness.
I think that there should be more employees like Tim because i would apreaciate very much if i was greeted this way. i think Tim is a very fun and kind person by doing this.
I think that this is a great way to change the world to a better place.
I think that this should be used at every restaurant to make everyone feel equal as and loved as much as the person who came in before them. I think this is a great way to make peoples day and to attract more costumers.
Brodie is just vibing and thats pretty cool.
I think restaurants all around should do what Tim is doing with his restaurant. The way he he is able to control the restaurant and also make it fun, everyone will want to go there to visit.
I can appreciate how Tim chased his dreams and tried his best to succeed and achieve his dream of owning his own restaurant, even with down syndrome! It’s pretty inspiring to be honest!
I think that there should be more people like Tim, because inspires people to be kind and makes a lot of peoples days by his positive attitude and by also giving hugs.
I agree with that. Based on the information on this blog, it is safe to say that everything is real.
If anyone has an objection, please speak freely. 🙂
Tim sounds like a nice guy who is successful full even tho he has some challenges others don’t.
Tim pushes himself to work harder so he doesn’t give up on his achievements.
1) people who are happy. no one does it because it is probably embarrassing.
2) because I don’t want a business.
3) dang that sucks.
4) I don’t think I affect people’s lives and nothing I don’t change the world.
1)People that enjoy their job and want to be there. People who don’t do it don’t like their job
2)Anyone can do anything with the right attitude and the right mindset
3)When I see someone with down syndrome I feel bad for them. Mostly because they get bullied a lot and they get overlooked like they aren’t even a person.
4)Just depends on the day if I make it better or worse. If I was in a bad mood it might make their day worse but if I was in a good mood it might make their day better.
Tim pushes himself to work harder so he doesn’t give up on his achievements. Also, he treated others with kindness whenever others were not kind.
Tim pushes himself to work harder even on bad days so he doesn’t give up on his achievements.
