Something I recall vividly – during college, I live in a high-rise on campus. Before we push button on an elevator, we look at what’s already be pressed. If one floor above or one floor below has been pressed, we shall not push button. Instead, we walk the stairs.
This is such a good norm that I follow immediately. This is such a powerful norm that brings positive energy to people.
This is actually faster if you run a bit, as the stair is close to elevators.
More importantly, all passengers’ time combined will be saved.
I have never experienced this in China. For myself, I can’t find stairs actually..
I hope this is not only for elevators and we may replicate this spirit in other areas.
