The interest of Ron Kroenke’s story Doing the work you do for no payment Ron Kroenke was tuning the piano at the nursing home and not getting paid for it. Dr Bean doesn’t like talking to people in English in the street. Things which make you feel good or not good on the job Ron Kroenke felt bad when one woman was ungrateful for the work he was doing. And he felt good when another woman appreciated his dedication. Dr Bean likes it when students speak English, are enthusiastic, and enjoy his activities. He doesn’t like it when they speak Chinese, are not interested, and don’t do what he wants them to do.
