This story about a cab driver who made the choice to be the best cab driver in the world spoke to me. It is an affirmation of the Stoic idea that we choose how to react to life and fate's events. We can choose to moan and complain, and keep a bad attitude and a dirty cab, or we can choose to be happy, and positive, and have the cleanest cab in the world. We can treat our clients like strangers, and strive to make their lives better; or, we can treat them like family and friends, and provide the best service it is within our power to give. We can live happy, joyful lives, regardless of our daily struggles, or we can lie down in agony and be miserable. Choose.
