Kindness in Action: Learning from a Tricycle Driver
January 21, 2019 Mikaela Zulueta
We often get so caught up in our own lives and
problems that we block out the people around
us. A side-effect of that is being unaware of how
we treat those people in our periphery. We might
not be doing any harm, but we also forget how
easy it is to do some good.
A simple smile towards the strangers you
encounter could easily brighten up their day.
Holding the door open for someone, or sharing
your umbrella could mean the world to someone.
But we probably won’t do it. This tricycle driver
from Tayabas City reminds us that we just have
to take a step away from our own heads to
remember others.
This was originally posted on Reddit to praise the
Tricycle driver for the small acts of kindness he
goes out of his way to perform. Whoever he is, we
can guess he might not have the most but he still
finds a way to give back to others. On his tricycle,
he has a hanging jar of candy for “happy
passengers” and free mineral water for anyone
thirsty.
He also has a sign to say that your ride is free if one
of the following applies: (1) It’s your birthday, (2) You
are 7-9 months pregnant, (3) You have your Electric
Bill with you, (4) You are a hospital patient, (5) Your
slippers are green, (6) You have no teeth, and (7) You
don’t have money to pay.
Several commenters worried that passengers would
abuse this generosity and that’s valid. But I hope
that an act of kindness like this is more likely to
incite other acts of kindness. He also has a sign
posted with a quote of Oprah Winfrey stating: “If you
look at what you have in life, you’ll always have
more. If you look at what you don’t have in life, you’ll
never have enough.”
We always compare ourselves to those who have
more and forget that we still have the capacity to
help others. It only takes a little effort to think about
someone else. Hopefully, the passengers who
encounter this man or even see this story are
inspired to take this same mindset.
