AN ENCOUNTER WITH A BUS DRIVER

-

I boarded a bus from Ikeja, heading to Ojuelegba; i sat close to the driver and as a common thing for most lagosians, you check from side to side, and observe if there is any strange face or activity in the bus, (security reasons) as we all know that danger is not written on the forehead. The sound of cool blue music made the moving bus a little bit comfortable. I listened to songs from Mariah Carey; hero. Michael Jackson; heal the world. I found myself humming to these songs unconsciously and relishing the moment.

The next track that played from the small mp3 player, was what got my attention, it was one of Whitney's latest song before she passed on, titled, ''why u looking at me'' and i loved that song. To my surprise i saw the driver singing the song with so much swags, and he got the lyrics correctly. I couldn’t help but smile, i guess i was impressed. So i gazed at the driver and observed that the guy should probabaly be between the ages of 24-28, he seem cool, and i could say that he must have had a little bit of education, because of his composure and his speech was eloquent.

Then i thought to myself, this guy is not in the place where he would have loved to be, somewhere along the line in his life's journey, something went amiss. Maybe there was a loophole somewhere and he had to live to survive.

But on a second thought, he is probably doing what he loves to do best.Whatever the case might be, this driver was having a nice time doing his job, regardless of the circumstances that led him to his present position.


The message that i got from this encounter with the bus driver is that ‘’ what is worth doing is worth doing well’’.

    "What is worth doing is worth doing well" so true. At the moment,he may not have gone where he intended to go, but I think he have ended up where he needed to be. If it works for you,do it well. Great one from Dammy. Cool story

    Vision can also be the unknown hidden treasure in the heart of that driver. It makes suffering endurable and enhances LIFE focus lenses.
