Another lesson from my office setting :
I took my team member to my favorite pani puri place after an official meeting. The cab driver parked 50 mts ahead of the pani puri stall. As we walked towards our cab after relishing the pani puri, we realized the cab was nowhere in sight. We walked for more than 100 metres in each direction looking for the cab but there was no trace of it. I could not even call the cab driver as I had left all my belongings including my phone, purse and laptop inside the cab. I began to panic. "What if the cab driver had run off with all our belongings. The laptop itself was worth more than his monthly earnings."
As I shared these misgivings, my colleague calmly replied, "Why do you think like that? Everything will be OK. Always visualize and think of a positive outcome."
She was carrying her phone and called the admin guy at office who then contacted the cab driver. We found him a little ahead getting his bag patched by a local cobbler.
Another lesson learned - about my default settings !!!!
