Lessons from my bus driver

I've started taking the bus home from work everyday and much to my surprise it has become one of the highlights of my day - as long as I catch the 4:24 bus! I know it sounds strange but the bus driver is not your ordinary transit employee. He is an entertainer!

Here is a guy who truly loves his job or at least makes the very best of it.

Everyday he posts a joke or funny fact on the ticket box for your enjoyment when entering the bus. If you ask him how his day is going he will always answer with a joke and he thoroughly encourages interaction between riders.

The 30 minutes I spend on that bus I am thoroughly entertained and by the time I get home the stress of the day is gone.

I think we can all learn something from the driver of the 4:24 bus. Here's what I've learned:

• A good attitude is infectious
• Loving what you do is a choice
• Being friendly to strangers can improve your life
• A good joke goes a long way!

Think about how you approach your day. Do you dread your day at work? Do you make an effort to be positive? Have you chosen to look at the good or the bad in your daily routine? A positive perspective can change your life and the life of those around you! My bus driver's changed mine;-)
