Answer:
The need for good temper and kindly feeling is universally required to carry out any kind of calling.
I know of a rickshaw driver, who also ferries school children in morning and afternoon. He is very even-tempered, caring and amusing to the kids, so much se that the kids look up to having a fun time with him while on their way to and from the school. Parents have a special preference for this man when it comes to their kid's travel, as well as their own commuting when they need to hire his rickshaw.
Another example is that if a cobbler at a local railway station in Mumbai, who speaks extremely courteously to his customers and does a quick and a nice job of polishing or mending shoes even during rush hours. I have been seeing him for five years now at the same place, rendering his services as cheerfully as ever to his customers, many of whom are regulars his stall.
