90/10

Today I decided to come 5 minutes earlier just to fill up the gas. When my driver saw me standing outside the gate he rushed in trying to show that he is sorry for being late. Not realizing because of his hastiness his bike kissed my car front right bumper. Yup, it scratched big time and I am just about to start the day. I was just about to get mad but then again I said to myself hang on what will it do if I get mad will the scratch get away. Seeing his face with guilt is just enough I suppose. Not to mention "it's just a thing!".

I practice the 90/10 there is 10% things which we can't do about -in this case the scratch - it was not me who cause it but I have 90% control of not blowing of the steam to my driver. If I blew the steam and my driver lost concentration and drove in a foul mood the only thing could happen would be inviting accident on the road. Why would I even do that?
So thank to Stephen Covey, I decided not to get angry and said to him", For future 5 minutes late is fine compare to an accident - Safety number one".

I said to myself a scratch will not take my happiness.
