Chapter 57 first commuter

There was a man who pinned his life's hopes on the trivial matter of taking the first bus to work every day, and he succeeded. Professor Shoichi Watanabe of Sophia University in Japan mentioned a friend of his, Mr. A, in his book "The Art of Intellectual Living". Mr. A pins his life's hope on the trivial matter of taking the first bus to work every day. He feels that if this is not the case, he will live an ordinary life like ordinary people. When Mr. A was young, his family had no real property, and he lived in the suburbs far away from his work place. It took an hour and a half by tram to reach the company.He goes out before five o'clock every day to take the first bus with few passengers.After the car started, he concentrated on reading various books that were beneficial to him in the quiet, spacious and refreshing car.When he arrived at the place of work, the door hadn't been opened yet, but he had taken care of the concierge in advance, so the concierge could open the door specially for him.

After entering the empty office, he poured black tea from a thermos and had a simple breakfast.It wasn't until seven o'clock after breakfast, so he spread out his books and manuscript paper, and began to translate until nine o'clock in the morning when the company went to work.By the time someone else comes to work, he's already done a ton of work. Watanabe Shoichi appreciated Mr. A's way of making good use of time.Because you have to get up and take the bus to work every day, instead of getting up late and sharing sardines with everyone, it is better to get up early and take the first bus. It is easy and you can use the time in the car to concentrate on reading.Mr. A, who originally had no real estate, now owns a private mansion of 4,000 ping in Greater Tokyo.

A small change in daily routine can often bring huge gains; of course, the most important thing is to persevere. Mr. A pinned his greatest hope in his life on taking the first bus, which he could do by himself.He did it, and as a result, he had an extraordinary life that was different from ordinary people. Taking the first bus to work isn't necessarily about getting rich, but it's a viable way to achieve a variety of goals in life.
