These are my not very academic and politically correct reflections and thoughts. They are coming from my heart and I hope they may sit on the hearts.

The Taxi Driver

14/4/2013

 
After a five hour journey I was in a taxi, in my way to where I was supposed to give a talk. I was very tired and a bit low in motivation. The taxi driver out of no where started lecturing me, and it did not take me more than a couple of minutes to learn that I was in for a serious inspirational speech. He shared with me his own experience of finding God. Among many good things that he said were:
- Remain a servant of God and all your problems will perish
- I don't understand an atheist, I see God when I look around
- We need to aim high, we need to become as good as the Prophet

I asked him twice to come to the place with me and suggested seriously that he should give the talk instead of me. He very humbly said that his time had not yet arrived.

Well, my friend, your time might have not arrived yet but you managed to inspire and motivate me after a very tiring journey and a sleepless night. Consider this as a humble thank you note!

God bless you and take care.
