The Taxi Driver.

                   The Taxi Driver.

Once a business man was traveling by taxi because his car gets damaged in some small accident. that business was continuously busy on his call & shouting to somebody's and the taxi driver was observing all his drama. after placing the phone, the taxi driver easily asked the business man, "Sir, don't you have a headache ? and Sir,do you get a good night's sleep ?” by teasing like this on hearing this, the business man gets a little angry and tells him to do his job and let me do my job. the driver calms down after saying ‘sorry sir’. but after a few minutes the business man thinks that what he was talking about was right. so he asks the driver again, "Do you get a good night's sleep?" So the driver says yes sir, It's a very peaceful sleep. hearing this, the business man asks again, how do you get a good night's sleep? So driver says it's obvious sir when i lie down i gets automatically sleep & he laughed smoothly ! The business man is not satisfied with his answer. He asks the driver not to give such a half answer but to give a complete answer.

After that question, what the driver says really resonates with the business man.

He says sir, I meet very different different passengers every day. Some walk away from their parents, some walk away from their partner and they say bye to them, hug one last time, but after that, when they sit in the car, I saw tears in their eyes. I sees grief and there are some couples who are arguing in the car and some rich people like you are constantly yelling at someone on the phone. when I compare my life with all those people who i saw in constant stress, I really realize that even though my house is small, my family is with me. I earn enough to eat only twice a day and I am happy with that. seeing all the arguments in the car, I don't even want to argue with my wife. If she ever gets angry, i laughs and calms her down. I don't argue with her word for word. Sir,I just want to be happy and what more does a person need to be happy or satisfy. I am satisfied with as much as I have. I don't have any disease like you rich people have because I keep a calm head and keep smiling. So, not only does it cost money to be happy, but sometimes two words of love are enough. just be kind and talk polite with others.

After hearing all this, the business man was really happy and after getting out of the taxi, he hugged the driver and was paying as a tip, but the driver joined his hands and left as he did not want the money.

Guys just understand that being happy is our first priority everything else is after that.
