Partnership

Partnership is always the key to drive the success for everything from family to career, here is the story I want to share with you.

Few days ago I was sitting in the taxi on my way to the meeting, the taxi driver was given the map of the destination and we discussed whether we should take the toll way since the traffic was pretty bad, he noticed that my thai wasn't fluent so he started to communicate with me in english. I was suprised as taxi drivers normally can't speak english in Thailand (even they do it's still not a proper english), so we started to have chat. He used to work for a thai ambassodor in New York for 4 years, at first he couldn't even speak a single english word. later on he was given a chance to study in a language school during the weekend, in 6 months he could communicate fluently in english. He told me during these years he didn't only learn english but also a service mind, he realized how frightening it can be when you come to an unfamiliar place where you can't speak their language & worst than that you got cheated by the people. A small amount of taxi drivers surely ruined the reputation of the whole industry with their greed, I am always skeptical & cautious about that as they can't give me any confidence, therefore I always pretend as a thai while sitting in the taxi ( how? I do speak some Thai so if we don't talk much to eachother, they wouldn't know where i come from). This taxi driver truly understand the needs of foreigners as he was happened to be one of them, before I dropped off we exchanged contacts and I told him that we will use his service as long as he is available. Everyday we have guests going to the airport and we need a reliable partner to ensure a safe and pleasent journey. Our partnership begins here.

Have a slow life!
