Blog post from San Diego :) Finally my feet on US soil. Maybe later i will post about the trip. But at the moment.. before my memory fade and the feeling gone, i just want to write about moment that inspire me.
While i'm in Vegas, i took a bus to explore the city. I bought one day pass which cost me usd8. I bought tix twice as i accidently lost it on my way to the super famous Pawn Store shop @history channel. Redha je la.
They assumed you already bought the tix prior boarding the bus. At one of the stations, one guard came in. His task is to check all passengers ticket, to ensure its a valid paid ride. This guard started by explaining his task and what going to happen next. He explained clearly and let the passanger decide what option they want to take.
1. Those without tix can immediately exit the bus at the next stop
2. Those without tix can buy the tix now from the machine inside the bus
3. The rest to show the tix facing up
The way he explained all the process was very respectful and tactful. This is like his everyday task. He can just entered and ask passanger to show tix and those without tix, he can just issue the summon. No need to say much.
But he choose to do it differently. Giving second chance to those without tix.
Then there was a man without tix. He respectfully requested that man to buy tix at the machine and offered his assistance on how to buy. The man did not have enough money. Few cents more and guess what.. he gave that man few coins. Once purchased, the guard explained the validity of the card to the man, instead of being angry and nag to the man. He choose to be kind and remain respectful.
What he has shown was inspiring. He show consistency in his act. He walk the talk. He not just talking, but his action reflect what he just said. His talk is consistent woth his action. Wow! This is his everyday task. He can just issue the summon. No need to do so much. But how he handle the situation frm the very beginning until end was inspiring and i can see, it's effortless. It's inside him. He was not struggling or pretending.
This guard has shown me how to become a better person. I do not know if the guard action has impact the man without tix. But surely it's impact me in a BIG way!
