A Strange Experience Happend with Me Today...
To go home from Islamabad/Rawalpindi, I have to take Gujrat's transport from Faizabad station. Three months ago, in August, I went to Gujrat from Faizabad. I got the ticket which cost 300 but I paid 500. When the transport moved, I forgot to take the 200 back from the stand manager.
That's me on my first ever camel ride. Let's get back to the story.
During the journey I came to realize what had happened. I shared with my neighboring traveler upon his question. He said you can keep the ticket with you and get the refund. So I kept the ticket safe.
Today, I'm going home again from the same transport. I showed them my earlier ticket which had 200/- written on it as my unpaid balance. They simply paid that back.
- No objections.
- No questioning the three months gap.
- No doubting that the amount may have been written later.
- No hesitating giving back the amount.
Here's what the manager said.
"It's your money and it is forbidden for us."
I had a big smile really. I was so so pleased to see such an ethic in a very regular Pakistani business. It restored a lot of faith. I am sure you also are happy to know.
I'm not going to generalize my people. They are all people with individual values and practices. I must not forget that there are so many good people in my country who are doing whatever they do in all honesty and sincerity. We need more of such people.
Morals,ethics and honesty are great qualities that play major roles in our lives and our work environments and I am more than happy to read your experience of getting money back after 3 months. I am really impressed.
A dishonest man thinks that he will become rich by dishonest means. But this is not right. An honest man may be in trouble for want of money. But he will be happy in the end. Thank you so much for sharing your interesting experience on steemit @ilyastarar
Its really nice to see such honest people in our society, which are very rare these days, and thanks for showing such a positive image of our country..its really a nice experience! truly overwhelming
