一次,在接受芝加哥電視臺的採訪時,他說自己並不是真正的巴士司機。他說:“我是一名職業歌手。每天開車只是為了獲取更多的聽眾。”
儘管對於一些人來說,開車是一種快樂的源泉,然而他的快樂並不在此,而在唱歌。對於整個安排,芝加哥運輸當局的管理者們也非常滿意。
你可以看到等他車的人都排成了長隊,人們甚至刻意錯過其他車,也要搭乘這輛“唱歌的司機”開的車。人們喜歡這樣做!
他相信,他知道自己是為了人們的快樂而活著。於是,為了讓更多的人快樂起來,他唱的就更多了。他用這種方式,將生活目的和職業結合起來。率性而為的他,也因此過著心目中的理想生活。
明確生活的目標,並不是每個人都能做到的。但只要你確定了目標,併為了理想的生活而去努力追求,你就會如願以償。而更重要的是,你將會幸福。
生命的價值完全取決於自己的態度。你快樂,世界都在微笑;你悲傷,世界都在哭泣。假如我們每個人都能將快樂傳播,那麼世界該是多么美麗。

You see; people line up to ride hit bus。 They even let other busses pass by so they can ride with the “singing bus driver。” They love it!
Here is a man who believes he knows why he was put here on earth。 For him; it is to make people happy。 And the more he sings; the mor
