I was out ont he rickshaw today hawking for business around town, it was a great, sunny day and it felt nice to be able to interact with everyone. I like the rickshaw because it seems to brighten up people's day even if i don't give them a ride. Anyway i wanted to share my good deed for the day, i saw an old man really struggling down the street with 2 sticks and a bag, i pulled over and asked if he wanted a ride, he didn't I told him it would be for free and he did! He struggled up into the rickie and we had a good chat as i took him to the bus stop. You couldn't do that if you were driving along in a "real taxi" or in your SUV....
I also noticed a lot of glum looking people, even though it was really sunny so idecided to distribute the joy a little bit offering a few more free rides and generally trying to get people to smile. So yeah i made less money and more friends!
Although its great that i helped i bet you all passed that metaphorical man in the street today, i bet i have done so a million times. Just remember that it could be you one day and making someone else's day might just also make yours. So tomorrow go out and suprise someone with a smile.
You never know it just might pay you back (the librarian came up to me today and told me his daughter works for the union i'm studying) that's KArma!
