This is one of the most famous ‘Good Morning’s I know’
Maybe you can take Johnny Barnes as an example ?
This cheerful man could be seen every day in the morning at a busy intersection in Bermuda waving and cheering at all the commuters. He did this for 29 years till he died at the age of 93. He got a bronzen statue for this!
Johnny was arrived at the intersection at 3:45 a.m. Monday through Friday without a fail. As the daylight breaks and commuters on two and four wheelers start approaching Johnny swings into action.
He starts cheering and wishing the commuters – “Good Morning!”, “I love you!”, “God bless you” … This is the way he continues to spread joy and goodwill to all till 10 in the morning. To the commuters, a day’s hard work begins with an exchange of love and blessings – the day may not turn out to be as stressful after all.
