When I look for any inspirational story people often pointed me to the story of that guy who basically is born without arms and legs. No idea his name but heās kinda big in the Christian circle.
This morning I was at the Jingmei MRT station, and went to put some money onto my card. I put the card down and the machine just wouldnāt work. Iāve done this thousands of times before, and never had a problem. Iām slamming away at the screen and nada. The screen has frozen. Thereās a high school kid next to me putting money on his card. He looks up and sees a foreigner in distress.
Him (in perfect English): Do you need some help?
Me: Nah. Thereās a problem with the machine.
Him: Try this one. It just worked for me.
Me: Yeah, Iām going to. Thanks.
Him: Youāre welcome.
High school kids on the MRT are usually a surly bunch. Scrambling for seats, sleeping, banging on their phones, or adjusting their hair.
That tiny action touched me. I thought it was quite sweet.
