"I was thankful that this man had managed to remind me that my time is not all that precious... It starts with taking just a moment to see one another, and it goes from there." --Jacqueline Novogratz
Cabbie from Congo
We often get so absorbed in the minutiae of our daily lives that we do not stay open to learning experiences. In her article, Jacqueline Novogratz writes about how a late cab ride home from dinner could have just been another opportunity to check her email or stare out the window. Instead, after a strange request from her cab driver, she had the opportunity to do small acts of kindness, and grow closer to one of her fellow humans.
BE THE CHANGE
Take the time to interact with someone you often see, but don't pay much attention to. The bus driver, the security guard, or the cashier you see each day are all people just like you, and you can both help each other grow.
