This incident took place when I was about 11 years old. I used to go to school on my bicycle. I had to visit the bicycle vendor nearby, once every 2-3 days, to get air filled in my bike’s tyres. I coudn’t do it in the morning because I’d get late for school. So one evening I was at this vendor and there was another kid (of about my age) who’d come for the same reason. The guy at the vendor approached the kid. The kid then bent down and opened the valves of his bicycle’s tyres, letting out the air in them. I was wondering why he did that. He then signalled to the guy at the vendor and said “Uncle, fill them with fresh air now”. Now I get it – it costs the same anyway! That’s what I call making the most of your resources.

lol HR manager eh? Yeah I guess he will be one very soon. Maybe even a businessman! He had me pondering over this for a long long time though. Sometimes these small things in life help us achieve big goals. Also, it’s amazing how kids lead by example.
