I was working very concentrated with my laptop when we arrived to the target train station. I was very happy because I got the results that I wanted.
I got off the train with an smile in my face... but suddenly, when I was in the stairs, my face changed: I noticed that I didn't wear my bag!
Quickly, I went to the lost 'n' found point of the station to request for help. A nice lady called the train driver to inform and request him to give a look when the train would arrived to the end of the journey.
Meanwhile I was waiting there, thinking in my misfortune, in all the dealings that I should do (cancel credit cards, renew the identity card, ...) a burden of things, only to want to work in the train.
I was sunk and dissapointed.
After 15 or 20 of awaiting in the lost and found point, I asked to the nice lady to make a call to my mobile. Without hope, I called my phone number and after some tones.... the most wonderful voice in the world answered me! I didn't have words. I was very nervous and emotionated. Just I was able to articulate some words to say thanks and request where I could go to pick up my bag. The kind woman gave me the address.
I was happy again. Now I was the most fortune man in the world!
I hadn't money to go there and I didn't know how to arrive there. I went to my work, I asked some help to my friend Dídac that gave me a public transport ticked and gave his phone. I took a bus to arrive there and after an hour, finally I recovered my bag!
Is incredible how your worst day can be, at same time, your best day only in 20 minutes. I choose: this is my best day.
Thanks Silvia for picking up and care my bag and answer to my phone call.
The world is better than we think and full of good people! And the world is full of clueless, but good people too ;-)
Great post, Marc! I absolutely agree with you on all points; it's magical how a bad experience can be transformed into a great one! Thanks for writing this!
