Question

When I was about to go back home, it was dark. In order to get home as soon as possible, I hired a taxi. The car was along the road, now well-lit, now sank in darkness. I broke the on purpose, that the driver might be too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evening?” “9 o’clock. I’ll go after this trip.”

“Then when do you come out in the morning?” I another question.

“9 o’clock, too. And I go home for lunch and dinner, just as if I worked at an office.” His easiness surprised me, because every time I ride in a taxi, what I hear from are only complaints. They complain that they work , that it is to earn money, that they are bullied (欺侮) by the policeman, or that the corporation leaders are seated, , and enjoy the of others’ work. It seems that they have a grievance (不滿意) against everything. But this driver told me, “I find it to be a section chief as I was before. I don’t like management work. I like driving, just for . It’s that I drive without a passenger. So I can earn two or three thousand Yuan a month with ease. Any ? Yes, I never follow an empty taxi. If it goes , I go northward. If it goes along the highway, I turn into a street. In this way I always get customers.

His words showed his satisfaction with his life and the pride he in his job. Such feelings are so among people nowadays as oxygen in high mountains. As an ancient saying , “Neither joy in material gains nor grieve over personal setbacks (挫折).” How many people nowadays can show high ideals by simple living and go far with a calm mind? I couldn’t help feeling curious when I found such a state of mind in a stranger on a cold winter night.
