A Quick, But Meaningful, Moment

With time and practice, I became better at starting and carrying on conversations with strangers. I also became more confident. One day, I was on the train heading home from work. I hadn’t talked to a stranger yet that day, so I was looking for the opportunity. I smiled at the lady sitting opposite me. She smiled back at me with a wide and sincere smile.

That’s rare, at least in my country, on the 8 p.m. train, when everybody is going home after a long and (usually) tiring day at work. I estimate that only about one person in 20 smiles back at me on those evening trains.

OK, level one checked off,” I thought to myself. I stirred a reaction, so I accomplished the basic level of my discipline. I was done for the day. The train was approaching my town, so I got up, packed my laptop and put on my jacket. While doing this, another thought came: “What the heck? I should tell her that she has done something exceptional.”

I sat down once again and said to her with a wide smile:

Do you realize how special you are?

She was abashed. I could almost read her mind: “WTF?

She answered hesitantly, “No, why?

You smiled back at me. I smile at many people, but not many smile back at me. I think maybe one in 20. You are special.”

Well, thank you very much. It’s what I do. I always smile back.

The anxiety left her. She was really touched by my remark. We had 5 minutes to talk about how people interact with each other. We had another common denominator – commuting, and we talked about that a little.

She thanked me a few times more for my remark. She said it made her day. It was a nice surprise for her at the end of the day. I started that conversation to appreciate her and I definitely succeeded. Two people felt better about themselves after this encounter.
