An 18-year-old boy, who had just come out of school, wanted to find a job to relieve his heavy family burden. But Venezuela is just emerging from a financial crisis, and in Caracas, the capital, government offices are besieged by hundreds of millions of unemployed workers desperate for food and money.
With the efforts of Maduro's father, he was fortunate enough to work for the bus company, which was a good job, of course, which cost his father more than half a year's salary.
In Venezuela in 1983, the economy was stagnant, businesses were empty, thieves were on the streets, and all kinds of bizarre robberies occurred in broad daylight.
Before dropping out of school, Maduro was lucky enough to get a driver's license, which became a hard indicator that he could take office.
But due to the cooling of interpersonal relations, the bus driven by Maduro has become the only bus leading to the suburbs, and the ticket seller on his bus is a young girl who is not deeply involved in the world, and because of the frequent occurrence of events, the strong Maduro has become a driver and bodyguard.
After a week, Maduro was tired of this job, the bus is difficult to drive, always dangerous, coupled with unemployed people often lose their minds, will cause trouble in the bus, which once became the main reason for Maduro's anger. Often the problem was that he slammed on the brakes, turned around, argued with the thugs who were molesting the girls, and sometimes even fought. At first Mr Maduro was always on the losing end, but over time he developed a formula for punishing the rioters.
If he doesn't drive, he will lose a well-paid job, and his father will be heartbroken. His mother's comfort left him speechless, and he went back to work. Because people are smart, coupled with the meeting, three months later, his bus was rated as the safest bus by the city TV station, and for a time, citizens rushed to take his bus line.
His No. 83 bus line will pass the municipal hall every morning, the spacious and bright office environment has become Maduro's desire, he has a different political dream since childhood, to be able to enter the municipal hall to visit, has become a driver's biggest dream.
Two years later, his No. 83 bus ran into trouble, because he offended some Jianghu gangsters on weekdays, he suffered the biggest injury in his life, two gangs of personnel surrounded the bus, pulled him off, and attempted to beat, which does not say that the whole car became a tool for them to vent.
Maduro did not mess with the crisis, and negotiated with the leaders of the gang: he asked for the release of all the people, and he was willing to accept their punishment.
Maduro was kidnapped for at least three days, and his act of charity saved the whole car of the people, three days later, the police rescued him in the Morgue, and he with his own wisdom, actually saved the other three kidnapped men in the Morgue.
For a time, he became a rescue hero, soon, was selected as a member of the bus system trade union, at the end of 1985, 19 years old Maduro entered the municipal hall to speak, and his words unexpectedly caused when the president Lucinci attaches great importance to, in 1986, only 20 years old Maduro became the youngest government member in the history of Venezuela.
A driver's dream was just beginning. In 1999, Maduro helped draft the constitution, and the following year, he was spotted by President Hugo Chavez to become the government's civil affairs minister. In 2012, after Chavez was re-elected president, Maduro became Venezuela's vice president and foreign minister with a unique diplomatic talent.
After Chavez's death, Maduro became acting president, and in the presidential election on April 15, he defeated other rivals to become the new president of Venezuela.
The president was originally an ordinary driver, but what is different is that if a driver has a dream, he will follow this dream persistently, even if he falls and hurts at all costs, this is the steel of a driver.
