When I was a studying at Tel Aviv University (TAU) in 1988, I remember being on bus with some other overseas students. The driver was playing Israeli music extremely loud. It was making us all crazy.
Finally, I had a brainstorm. I tore out a blank sheet of paper from a book I was reading and wrote “Please lower music.” He understood immediately, lowered the song, and then everybody applauded. I felt great for coming up with a solution for a problem no one knew how to solve, and then being recognized for my creativity.
Life Lesson 18: When you are faced with a problem be creative, and remember that even on buses in Israel sometimes the pen is mightier than the sword.
