Honesty!!!

One day I had no work in office and I decided to return home early. I took the 3 o clk bus from office and got down at Jayanagar 9th block to take a rick to my house. After a long wait I managed to get a rick..

I have this habit of going through every minute thing in detail when I am in a bus or auto.. In blore all the auto drivers must have their identity card pasted at the back of their seat so that it can be read by the passengers travelling in the auto. If incase anyone has any complains then it is very easy to get the details of the auto driver. So there I was seated at the passenger seat reading the drivers Identity card... And besides this identitty card there was a certificate as well pasted next to it.

The certificate was awarded by the police department to the driver for his honesty. I was taken by surprise readin it and I was very happy to know that there are some honest drivers as well in Blore. Many of us in Blore always have a bad thought about the auto drivers. Coz most of the auto drivers are rude, they cheat us with our money and abuse us for no reason and things like that... But here I was travellin in this auto ,where this driver had won a certificate of good conduct ... I was very happy and when I reached my destination I got down from the auto and congratulated the auto driver for his good work. That brought a huge smile on his face and I was really glad that I was the reason for his smile..

On that day after I returned home I was thinking about this incident. Usually when people do good work, it may go unnoticed by many people. But when the good work is noticed and it is talked about by other people , the person would feel so encouraged and he would feel glad he did it.. He would be proud of his achievement. N I am happy that I made him feel proud about his good work. The smile on the drivers face was worth seeing.. It was indeed a million dollar smile :-)
