After a few moments，my passenger started a conversation.It began ordinarily enough：“How do you like driving a cab？”

“It’s OK，” I said.“I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.But if I could get a job making 100 a week more，I’d take it—just like you would.How about you？”

His reply intrigued me.“I would not change jobs even if I could make twice as much money doing something else.”

I’d never heard that before.“What do you do？”

“I’m in the neurology(神经学) department at New York Hospital.”

I believe that people are put together for a reason.I decided to ask for this man’s help.We were not far from the airport.

“Could I ask a favor of you？I have a son,15，a good kid.He wants a job，but a 15-year-old can’t get hired unless his old man knows someone who owns a business，and I don’t，” I paused，“Is there any possibility that you could get him some kind of a summer job？”

He didn’t respond for a while.Finally，he said，“Well，the medical students have a summer research project.Maybe he could fit in.Have him send me his school record.”

I tore off a piece of my brown lunch bag，and he scribbled his name on it and paid me.It was the last time I ever saw him.

After I nagged(唠叨)，yelled，and finally threatened to cut off his allowance(零用钱)，my son Robbie sent off his grades to the guy the next morning.

Two weeks later，when I arrived home from work，my son was beaming(眉开眼笑).He handed me a letter from my passenger，“Fred Plum，MD，Neurologist-in-Chief，New York Hospital”.Robbie was to call my passenger’s secretary for an interview.

Robbie got the job.He did minor tasks，unpaid，but he fit in well.The following summer，he worked at the hospital again with more responsibility.As high school graduation neared，Dr Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for Robbie.Much to our delight，he was accepted by Brown University.

Robbie did well in college and medical school，and he eventually did a four-year residency(住院医生实习期) in obstetrics and gynecology(妇产科).Finally，Dr Robert Stem，the son of a taxicab driver，became OB-GYN(妇产科医师) chief resident at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.

Some might call it fate，and I guess it was.But it shows that something as ordinary as a taxi ride can change your life.
