ZIGGY DUST-DANCING ROAD CLEANER
Zizzy dust as we have come to know him is a polish road sweeper in Chiswick, West London. He rose to stardom on you tube and world press by showing extra-ordinary passion to his work (sweeping the street). What has marked him out from other road sweepers is the fact the he sweeps, dances and have fun while he is doing it. Here is a couple of comments from the people who have seen Ziggy dust, zinging on the streets.
Jackie Carr said: "I love the dancing bin man who works in Chiswick High Road. He makes me smile every time I see him." Kieran Loughran said: "The dancing bin man is a breath of fresh air." (Sourced from the evening standard) How many of us would say something that positive about a street sweeper. I bet not many, when you pursue excellence with passion in what you do, you will get you noticed even in places where people would not normally notice you.
Now here is what the man himself had to say about his road sweeping?
"I dance while I am working as it makes it more fun. I love music and dancing. I am used to performing and I get a great reaction from people in Chiswick. Mothers stop with their children and dance with me and one old lady phoned the council to say she wanted to take me for a cup of tea on my break. It is not the most interesting of jobs but I am very happy doing it as I make other people happy and have made lots of friends." (From the Evening Standard Newspaper). To him what gives him joy in his work is the people he makes happy.
