Years ago, I had to travel a lot as part of work. Locked in my depressing world then, I lived as a robot working in a mechanical way every day.

On one of my work trips, I went to take a bus downtown as usual. Unexpectedly, there was a beautifully landscaped space that I had never seen before. The bus came along but I let it go past because I wanted more time to enjoy the landscape. Finally, the next bus approached and I got on that one.

After a while, a boy carrying lots of bags was seated next to me. Watching how he was accommodating his stuff, I was thinking how annoyed he must be at having to manage so much stuff. Just then, he gave me the most sincere smile I had seen from a stranger. He said "Hi! The perfect day in the perfect place, huh?" "Perfect day!" I answered, distracted by his shining smile and started to chat with him.

"Homeless since 10 years old, I lived on the street, but I've been lucky because I've known many people who have been kind to me." He said simply. Hearing this, I couldn't say a word. "Now I'm on my way to the army school where my deceased grandfather studied a long time ago." He smiled and told me for 10 years he had only one thing on his mind, to join the army like his grandpa. "I will follow my dream and every day I will be happy." He said calmly.

At this point, the bus had reached his stop. Taking his luggage, he waved goodbye to me with a big smile. Choked up with emotion, I forced a smile and shook his hands tightly. Never would I have imagined such a young homeless boy could change my perspective towards life during one short bus ride. From then on, whatever I encountered, I always try to do everything with my best smile on my face.
