A Situation That Has Changed Me to A Better Person

 Basically I will just relate it to my experience as a runner as there are a lot of improvements that I have benefit from the experience of being a runner.

Being a runner is not as fun as people might say although many assume that we are just doing it for fun. Values such as punctuality, integrity, patient, responsibility, kindness, empathy and many more could be learnt.



As example, sometimes it may took a long period to wait for the customer to come to us to get the item. Although I have reminded the person that I'll be arriving at that place by giving accurate Estimated Time Arrival, some of them still didn't appear on time as I expect. In this situation, I must control my emotion from scolding that person. Who knows that he/she really faced the unavoidable thing that hinder them from being on time. From there I have to be more empathic. 



Other than that, it's always running cat and dog when I am in rush (doing delivery). Most of the time I'll be mad. However, I must realize that Allah want to tell me something such as the tips won't runaway (I can wait for the rain to slow down before continuing my delivery journey). He is the one who give the rizq to us, the human. So we must put our trust on Him as we know that He knows the best for us.





Lastly, being a runner also has taught me about the power of giving (sadaqah). Sometimes the customer will give extra tips to me as they like to do so. Although I want to resist it but I can't. But then when I met customer who didn't have the small change for me, I just simply tell them to keep the change as I realize that I has extra cash from the former customer. And then after that, suddenly the food seller from the place I buy food for the customer, treat me a pack of delicious food. This thing happened frequently during my experience of being a runner.



Sometimes when things get hard, I will remember to these values that keeping to stay loyal to this duty.
