Last Saturday morning I took a bus to the gym. I noticed something special about the bus driver. He was very kind to wait for passengers to get on the bus instead of “beaming” away from them (believe me – I am sure most people had such experience of running after the bus only to have the door closed in your face). To make up for the waiting time, he would drive one touch faster than other drivers (with the same level of safety in my opinion as long as the driver is paying attention and staying within the speed limit)
It dawned on me that we can also apply that principle in our own life. To make time for others, in particular those we love and care, we can be more efficient in performing some tasks or activities. A friend of mine told me that one of her most efficient times of her life was when she was in Harvard law school and needed to travel long distance to see her then-boyfriend over the weekend.
