A lady driver was driving behind a slow car and was getting impatient. She started to beep the horn so that the driver would speed up a little bit. But to no avail. When she got closer, she noticed a small yellow bumper sticker but could not read it. When they came to a stop sign, she could now read it clearly and her attitude changed quickly. The sticker said ‘WARNING – Disabled Driver.’ The lady now felt responsible for the safety of the driver ahead of her. She calmed down . She arrived late for work, but that didn’t matter. She thought for a while that it would be a good idea if we were to post a sticker about what we are going through at that time. Stickers like ‘I just lost my job.....’ ‘I’m receiving chemo for my cancer.....’ ‘I am going through a tough divorce....’ ‘I just lost my parent.....’ ‘They just told me I cannot have children!....’ .....and another hundred cases any person can be going through in this hectic turbulent world of ours. So whenever you encounter a stressful situation, try to put yourself in the other person’s position. Patience means that you have to respect that invisible sticker of the person in front of you.
