My taxi driver slammed
on
his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!
The driver of the other car
whipped his head around and started yelling at us.
My taxi driver just
smiled and waved at the guy.
And I mean he was really
friendly. So I asked,
"Why did you just
do that?
This guy almost ruined
your car and sent us to the hospital!"
This is when my taxi
driver taught me what I now call,
"The Law of the
Garbage Truck."
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.
They run around full of
garbage, full of frustration, full of anger,
and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles
up, they need a place to
dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.
Don't take it
personally.
Just smile, wave, wish
them well, and move on.
Don't take their garbage
and
spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let
garbage trucks take over their day.
Life's too short to wake
up in the morning with regrets, so...
Love the people who treat you right.
Pray for the ones who
don't.
Life
is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you
take it!
Have a blessed, garbage-free day.
