ROLE MODEL

Indeed there are many great leaders out there and some might still be a living legend while some left us with great impact in our daily lives .. Who will be your favourite role model after all ? Will it be someone from our family ? Or is it Bernard ? Hahaha .. I am pretty sure that there is at least a person who really inspires us to be OURSELF at this point of life =)

Well I would like to share a short and a very meaningful story for me .. And yes the moral of the story really lead me to live my life now =D As a childhood dream of mine trying to be successful person in the future and the thought of “In what sense can I impact the world rather than what the world can offer for me” which plays in my mind every now and then ..

Will anyone take A BUS DRIVER as their role model ? Indeed this might not sounds like some BIG shot or LEGENDARY person in the world but I would like to share this and hope it can inspires this blog readers too .. SO WHY A BUS DRIVER ..

Like a captain in a sailing crew, a bus driver is the captain himself in his own bus .. Have you ever wonder who is the first person to enter the bus early in the morning ? Who is the person who starts the engine and keep it running ? The commuters will be going nowhere without a bus driver in a bus .. Being committed and keeping his discipline in the route that he takes .. It does reflect many other characteristic of a true leader .. 

We also know that the road in our lives faces many challenges and many ups and down .. It can be directly compare to the bus driver where he needs to get stuck in jams, entertain and handle all walks of life (communication skills comes into the picture where we have to handle humans xD), difficult weathers, and might even face road accidents .. The journey will not be that smooth all the time but it teaches us how to handle the situation and a magic word which is WHAT DON’T KILL YOU WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE YOU STRONGER !! And yes I really do believe that experience gives us an upper hand in future as we will know how to handle the same situation again which MIGHT occurs again ..

I believe we all also aware that many more challenges awaiting us in the future and different and new problems will pop out anytime and anywhere without any warning .. This goes the same as the bus driver as he also will not foresee what will happen throughout the day other than his normal routines .. There might be a puncture tire while driving passengers around too rite ? Running low on fuel during a peak hour ? At times things like this can’t be avoided .. Are we going to sit down and think of what actually happened or instead think of a solution to solve the problem that occurs right in front of us ?

As the bus driver approaches the end of his shift he will get back to the deport and park his bus .. No matter how far we travelled or move forward and how successful we get in the future .. DO REMEMBER WHERE WE start and make sure that our both feet stays on the earth and finish the task that we started .. The bus driver is the 1^st and the last person who got up and down from the bus and we should have the initiative to start a work and end it not matter how much challenges we face in the future =D

HOPE dis inspires you all =D
