When I came out of my office, it was dark. In order to get home as soon as possible, I hired a taxi. The car was   21   along the road, now well-lit, now sank in darkness. I broke the   22   on purpose,   23   that the driver might be too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evening?”

    “9 o’clock. I’ll go after this trip.”

    “Then when do you come out in the morning?” I   24   another question.

    “9 o’clock, too. And I go home for lunch and dinner, just as if I worked at an office.” His easiness surprised me, because every time I ride in a taxi, what I hear from the   25   are only complaints (抱怨). They complain that they   26   work   27  , that it is   28   to earn money, that they are Bullied (欺侮) by the policeman, or that the corporation leaders are seated   29   and enjoy the   30   of others’ work. It seems that they have a grievance (不满意) against everything. But this driver told me, “I find it  31   to be a section chief as I was before. I don’t like management work. I like driving, just for   32  . It’s   33   that I   34   drive without a passenger. So I can earn two or three thousand yuan a month with ease. Any   35  ? Yes, I never follow an empty taxi. If it goes   36  , I go northward. If it goes along the highway, I turn into a   37   street. In this way I always get customers.

His words showed his satisfaction with his life and the pride he   38   in his job. Such feelings are so   39   among people nowadays as oxygen in high mountains. As an ancient saying  40  , “Neither joy in material gains nor grieve over personal setbacks (挫折).” How many people nowadays can show high ideals by simple living and go far with a calm mind? I couldn’t help feeling curious when I found such a state of mind in a stranger on a cold winter night.
