​A Friendly Cab Ride

While riding a cab to the airport, the driver and I established a great rapport. We talked about our kids, our business and life in general; we laughed, agreed and disagreed but at the end we had a great interaction.
 
Before reaching the terminal he turned around and said to me: “ This is the best conversation that I ever had with a passenger. The way you express yourself, there is no chance of misinterpretation.”  A few minutes later, while dropping me at the gate, he gave me a strong handshake and repeated: “I meant it, this is the best conversation that I ever had with a passenger, have a safe trip.”
 
Great complement, even though I know that I’m not the most approachable person in the room. Thank you, thank you!
 
So here is my thought:
 
Approachable people listen and pay attention.  They interact, ask questions and do their best to understand by showing genuine concern and kindness. They smile and talk about positive things; they make people feel good.  They are real.
 
People are drawn to approachable people because they feel that they matter to that person; with that person they have their spirits lifted not looked down on.

Always keep in mind: It takes no effort to be nice, to give a sincere compliment, to be kind to a person. Most of the time we are so wrapped up in ourselves that we miss out on the beauty of meeting and interacting with a stranger.
 
A kind word can make a big difference on a person’s moment, day or life! - MFR

Sometimes, the best advice or best talk we can get will come from a stranger. Yes, it has been proven because it happened to me too! I am happy to know that you had a good rapport with the car driver you just met while you were in the way. Perhaps, there is a power and a realization we can get from strangers and it is something that we must be thankful for! Perhaps, it was all God's plan to let Him meet you so he could learn from you too!

    Who I am today as a person is largely due to my failures!
    Failures are the speed bumps in life that matter!  They are not regrets but small disappointments that wake up the strength within us! Failures are the process of learning and improving!  Without failures we simply are at a status quo!
