It was not pre-arranged. It just happened that the driver made a demand and I just didn't feel like obeying his demand. I was quite tired after spending a full day working.

you must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.

To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try.

I believe there is only one race - the human race.
