Beyond waiting at stops: Navigate your own life.

Bus Mentality

The type to just sit there and wait around to get where they want to go has a bus mentality.

Going through life with a bus mentality is sitting and waiting to get picked up. Riding the bus is at the mercy of the driver, and constantly stopping at unwanted stops.

The bus mentality prefers to take a predetermined route that they know they have no say in. Bus routes are predictable and anybody can hop on. It gets crowded and often chaotic because it’s cheap.

Some people have the bus mentality to blend in or save themselves money. In this case, they’re saving themselves the time it takes to look up their own route.

Taxi Mentality

A person with a taxi mentality prefers to chase down what they want to get where they’re going. They’re willing to pay whatever to get exactly where they want to go.

Taxis take more effort & money but go exactly to where you need to be, but you have to know exactly where you want to go and be willing to pay the price.

A taxi mentality is somebody who has to be able to give clear direction, and when they’re in an unfamiliar place they’re not afraid to ask the drivers. They’re not afraid to sit in the back alone and ride it out alone.
