Who the hell don't want to be safe? Tell me! So my dear UBER, you've been a great help filling the commuters need.
Now, let me go to the reason of this story.
I just arrived from a full day hike. Given that Its already late and still halfway from my home. I've decided to ride UBER. Booked it and 5 mins my ride is downstair.
At first, his waze isn't working (because sometimes this app needs to be refreshed) therefore he asked me If I knew the way while he's fixing the app. I'm glad to assist him of course (why not, I knew my way and it will both benefit me and him for arriving early instead of getting annoyed by this small interruption). We we're in stop n' shop when the waze finally revive.
While we are on the way, he started the conversation because I think he feels that its incovenient for me that his app isn't working whereas I don't at all (things like that is understandable and unexpected). During the convo, I was tempted to asked if he's Chinese which he straigtfully answered, 'Yes, I am'.
He looked at me and asked if I'm a Chinese too but said I'm not. The convo was actually full of insights. I got to know that he is a business owner with a services of installing CCTV cameras. He told me that he provide services to this clients M.Y. San, San Miguel and most of the Gas stations. I was then curious why he drive for UBER given the above story.
He said, this is my other sideline. If there is no much project, I drive with UBER at night. After that, I felt so much respect for this man. I'm priviledged and humbled to be seated next to him. You'd be glad to be able to meet someone who works hard, doesn't give a damn to status quo, doesn't care if he owned a business. He is putting all effort to make a value of himself by providing his skills of driving. I would not be shocked if success would strike him more.
P.S. By the way, he owned an MT suzuki celerio. And yes he's a business owner. How frugal and hardworking are u?
