Ravi was running late again. The streets were almost empty, and the last bus was about to leave. He had stayed back at work to finish an important task, hoping it would impress his manager. As he reached the bus stop, he saw the bus slowly pulling away.

“Wait!” he shouted, waving his hands.

The driver noticed him in the mirror and stopped. Breathless, Ravi thanked him and took a seat by the window. As the bus moved through the quiet city, Ravi reflected on his day. He realized success was not only about hard work but also about balance.

When he reached home, his mother was waiting with dinner. She smiled and said, “No job is more important than your health.”

Ravi nodded. That night, he promised himself to manage his time better. Sometimes, life’s biggest lessons come from almost missing the last bus home.
