A young man went to work in the morning. He called a taxi and got on. βGood morning, sir,β he said greeting the taxi driver first. βWhat a sunny morning, isnβt it?β he continued with a smile, then hummed a little.
The driver smiled at the cheerfulness of his passengers. Happily, he drove his taxi. Arriving at the destination, the young man paid with a sheet of $50, for a meter of almost $30. βThe change is for you. Happy working, sir,β the young man said with a smile.
βThank you,β replied the taxi driver gratefully. βWell, I can have breakfast first,β he thought. He then headed to a food stall.
βAs usual, sir?β asked the stall keeper.
βYes, as usual. Vegetable bread, but, this morning, add a piece of chicken,β the driver replied with a smile. And when paying, he added $5. βFor your sonβs snacks,β he said.
With an additional $5 pocket money, that morning the stall keeperβs child went to school with a wider smile. He was able to buy a loaf of bread this morning, and give it to a friend who had no provisions.
Soβ¦ The story can go on. Rolling like a snowball. Mr. driver could have been happier that day. So is the stall keeper, her child, the childβs friends. All contracted happiness.
Happiness, like distress, can rub off on anyone around us. Happiness is a choice. Have you spread happiness today?
