Nice Story-Honesty in Doha
I ride a motorcycle in Doha. While commuting to work, I bungee my soft sided briefcase to the tail. Was due to leave on vacation and I was carrying my wallet, a pile of cash, and my passport in my briefcase. Also had my 3k USD Apple laptop with my whole life, and professional life, saved on the hardrive. Well, less than 1/2 way to work, I hit a construction zone and jumped over a curb while weaving through stuck traffic. I reached work, dismounted, and discovered the rear of my moto was bare. Holy Moses!!! I panicked!!!! Immediately spun around and started returning to my home to trace my steps and hope to find it. The whole way (about 30 minutes) I was reviewing how f***ed I was and how I would find a way to recover my stuff,money, and cancel my vacation. Lost ID, no driver's license or passport, money gone, information and programs on my computer.Focused on the out of the ordinary bump that I hit, returned to that spot. My briefcase was leaning on a lightpole on a traffic island. My lunch in a bag was sitting there. The bungee cord was still sitting in the road and getting run over. Gathered my stuff and smiled broadly all the way (back) to work.
God Bless You, whoever helped me and didn't rifle the bag for goodies.
The people, police, and leaders of Qatar have something to be proud of. There exists a culture, we all contribute to the culture of our environment, in Doha where this is possible. Don't be cynical- pay it forward. If you find something of value and think it could be yours, think of how important it is to another human being. Help them and see what the reward is, don't grab a reward that you may not deserve.
thing like that when it happend we do feel soooo sooo happy for having laptop , cards , IDs , that already we had it before and never feel to have them, imagine things we never feel about it even , then only idea to lose them and get them back can change the whole mind
what a lovely heart warming story.
Lucky you & God bless the person who left the bag for you to find...
See,,,I try telling my fellow QL ers all the time, for all the LC antics happening I find a humane side to specially the locals of Qatar that is rarely found even in my home country, We once lost the keys to our first car a beatup, old, Honda Civic on the Wakra beach duing the Eid break of 03 or 04,....left the car at the beach, went home to get the spare,returned a good 4-5 hrs latter to find the key retrived and sitting on the driver's door!
God bless the kind hearted people of this dear nation.
