It was a Fridaymorning, 7:30a.m. I felt too lazy to drive my car, so my son booked an uber. Infive minutes, the uber reached at the entrance gate, waiting for my arrival. Ijust saw the cab number and entered inside the car. I was so busy that I didn'tpay any attention towards the driver. I was searching for an important paperfrom my leather bag, so instantly said, 'Please, go quick! I'm in a hurry!' 那是一个周五的早晨7点半,我懒得开车,儿子帮我在优步上订了一辆车。短短5分钟,车就到了门口,等着我上车。我扫了一眼车牌,然后就上车了。我忙着做自己的事情,也顾不上抬头看一眼司机。我翻着做自己的皮包找文件,随便说道:“请快一点,我赶时间。“ The voice came,'Yes, Ma'am!' 只听声音传来:“好的,女士。” I was literallysurprised when I heard a female voice! I stopped my work for a second and lookedat the driver. The driver was a young lady. Maybe, around thirty or thirty-two!For the first time, I saw a lady, driving an uber! 让我感到惊讶的是,我听到一个女性的声音,我放下手头的工作,看了一眼司机,只见是一个年轻的女性,大概在30或32岁左右,这是我第一次看到一个女司机开优步。 The car wasrunning on the national high-way towards the destination. It was quite a distance from my home.She was driving perfectly well. Hundred times, I had travelled in uber, butnever I saw any lady, driving an uber! I didn't know, why I became so destination toknow why she had chosen this profession. I started the conversation,'If youdon't mind, can I ask you some questions?' 汽车在高速路上朝着目的地行进,目的地离我家很远,她开车的技术很好。我在优步上坐车数不清有多少次了,我还是第一次看见一个女司机!我自己也不知道为什么莫名兴奋,想要了解她为什么会选择这样一个职业。于是我开启了谈话:“如果你不介意,我能问你几个问题么?” 'Yes, ma'am! Noproblem.' “当然不介意,女士。” 'I guess, you arewell qualified!' “我猜你肯定受过高等教育,” 'Yes, ma'am! Ihave completed my education. I have done my MBA course. “是的女士,我完成了我的学业,工商管理学硕士的课程。” 'Oh, wow!!! Whydid you then choose this profession, instead of going for an academic career?' “天哪,那你为什么选这行,而不是开启学术生涯?” I could see herface in the rear view mirror. She smiled and the way she expressed her views, Iwas really amazed! 我从反光镜里能看到她的脸,她都是面带微笑表达她的想法,我被震撼到了。 Very politely, shesaid, 'Driving was my passion from my childhood, ma'am! Of course I do respecteach and every job. In this case, at least I fulfilled my desire! I lovedriving! I don't mind for big or small job. I wanted a job where I can getsatisfaction. I got offers from m.n.c but this one I preferred because I likeit! I know, I can't get enough money out of it, yet as I told you 'I lovedriving'!That's it!' 她很有礼貌的回答道:“从我的孩提时期,我就对开车有着热情,当然我尊重每一份工作,目前能够开车,也算是达成我的愿望。我不在乎工作的大小,而在乎自己内心是否得到满足,我拿到来自mnc公司的职位邀约,但是我还是喜欢我目前的工作,因为我真心热爱。虽然收入不会很高,但是我喜欢开车,这就够了。”
