I vividly remember being stuck in a traffic jam on a scorching summer evening last year. It was around 6 PM, and I was driving home from work. I found myself stuck on the main highway that connects the city center to the suburbs, a well-known bottleneck during rush hour. As I inched forward at a snail’s pace, I decided to make the most of the situation. I turned on my favorite podcast, which I had been meaning to catch up on, and settled into my seat. Listening to an engaging story helped distract me from the frustration of the standstill traffic. Despite the oppressive heat and the seemingly endless line of cars, I tried to stay patient. However, as the minutes turned into nearly an hour, I started to feel a bit anxious, worried about the time I was losing. I kept glancing at the clock and checking my phone for traffic updates, hoping for some miraculous clearing. Eventually, traffic began to move, and I reached home later than usual, but the experience taught me the importance of staying calm and making the best out of an inconvenient situation.
