It was a Friday morning, 7:30a.m. I felt too lazy to drive my car, so my son booked an uber. In five minutes, the uber reached at the entrance gate, waiting for my arrival. I just saw the cab number and entered inside the car. I was so busy that I didn’t pay any attention towards the driver. I was searching for an important paper from my leather bag, so instantly said, ’Please, go quick! I’m in a hurry!’那是一個周五的早晨7點半，我懶得開車，兒子幫我在優步上訂了一輛車。短短5分鐘，車就到了門口，等著我上車。我掃了一眼車牌，然后就上車了。我忙著做自己的事情，也顧不上抬頭看一眼司機。我翻著做自己的皮包找文件，隨便說道：“請快一點，我趕時間。“

The voice came, ’Yes, Ma’am!’只聽聲音傳來：“好的，女士。”

I was literally surprised when I heard a female voice! I stopped my work for a second and looked at 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! 讓我感到驚訝的是，我聽到一個女性的聲音，我放下手頭的工作，看了一眼司機，只見是一個年輕的女性，大概在30或32歲左右，這是我第一次看到一個女司機開優步。

The car was running 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, but never I saw any lady, driving an uber! I didn’t know, why I became so enthusiastic to know why she had chosen this profession. I started the conversation,’If you don’t mind, can I ask you some questions?’汽車在高速路上朝著目的地行進，目的地離我家很遠，她開車的技術很好。我在優步上坐車數不清有多少次了，我還是第一次看見一個女司機！我自己也不知道為什么莫名興奮，想要了解她為什么會選擇這樣一個職業。于是我開啟了談話：“如果你不介意，我能問你幾個問題么？”

’Yes, ma’am! No problem.’“當然不介意，女士。”

’I guess, you are well qualified!’“我猜你肯定受過高等教育，”

’Yes, ma’am! I have completed my education. I have done my MBA course.“是的女士，我完成了我的學業，工商管理學碩士的課程。”

’Oh, wow!!! Why did you then choose this profession, instead of going for an academic career?’“天哪，那你為什么選這行，而不是開啟學術生涯？”

I could see her face in the rear view mirror. She smiled and the way she expressed her views, I was really amazed!我從反光鏡里能看到她的臉，她都是面帶微笑表達她的想法，我被震撼到了。

Very politely, she said, ’Driving was my passion from my childhood, ma’am! Of course I do respect each and every job. In this case, at least I fulfilled my desire! I love driving! I don’t mind for big or small job. I wanted a job where I can get satisfaction. I got offers from m.n.c but this one I preferred because I like it! I know, I can’t get enough money out of it, yet as I told you ’I love driving’!That’s it!’她很有禮貌的回答道：“從我的孩提時期，我就對開車有著熱情，當然我尊重每一份工作，目前能夠開車，也算是達成我的愿望。我不在乎工作的大小，而在乎自己內心是否得到滿足，我拿到來自mnc公司的職位邀約，但是我還是喜歡我目前的工作，因為我真心熱愛。雖然收入不會很高，但是我喜歡開車，這就夠了。”
