It’s hard for anyone to get through the daily grind of life by getting up early every morning and commuting to work.  Each day is a challenge to overcome the elements of nature, lack of sleep, and time itself as millions each day share the struggle to get their destination.  I for one do not like this modern day ritual.  I’m sure there is a guy who walks several miles across the farmland of India each morning and does not like it.  He probably wishes there was a way he could hop on a bike or train to ease his burden.  I bet many New Yorkers who ride the iron horse under ground each day wish they could drive or walk to work.  A man stuck in traffic in Los Angeles wishes he had a better car and shorter commute. The owner of a BMW dreams of a chauffer taking him to work.  The man with a personal driver spends time thinking about working from home and not commuting. The private business owner with 30 years of work experience who walks from his kitchen to the spare room where his computer lies is looking forward to retirement.  The retired man sits back and reminisces fondly about his career and misses those early days when he was young and walked to work with a bounce in his step ready to prove himself to the world.  I look forward to my commuting ritual tomorrow.
