A patient driver can improve an outing without becoming part of its favorite story.

Whoever drove calmly, left early, parked far away and waited without complaint made the day possible, and none of that will appear when the day is retold. The stories go to the funny disasters and the loud moments, while the smoothness that allowed them belongs to someone who will not be mentioned. That is how quiet competence usually works; doing it anyway, without collecting credit, is a specific kind of generosity.

Think about who made your last good day run and tell them you noticed. When it is your turn, do it without narrating your own effort.
