A Passion（熱情）for Driving

It was a Friday morning, 7:30 am. I felt too lazy to drive my car, so my son booked an Uber. In five minutes, the Uber reached our door. I checked the cab number and got inside the car. I was busy searching my bag for an important paper, so I just said, “Please, go quickly! I’m in a hurry!”

The driver replied, “Yes, ma’am!”

I was surprised when I heard a female voice. I stopped for a second and looked at the driver. She was a young lady. Maybe around 30 or 32 years old. I had never had a female Uber driver before. I became interested in why she chose this job. I started the conversation, “If you don’t mind, can I ask you some questions?”

“Yes, ma’am! No problem,” she said.

“I guess you are well-qualified,” I said.

“Yes, ma’am! I have completed my education. I have even gotten my MBA.”

“What made you choose to do this job?” I could see her smiling face in the rear-view mirror(后視鏡).

I love driving. I don’t care how big or small my job is. I wanted a job where I can get satisfaction. I haven’t made much money from it yet, but as I told you, I love driving! That’s all there is to it.” Very politely, she said, “Driving has been my passion since childhood. Of course, I respect each and every job. In this case, at least I realized my dream.
