* the law of the garbage truck!

One day I hopped in a taxi & we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded & missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around & started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled & waved at the guy & I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car & sent us to the hospital!" This's 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 & full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it & sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well & move on. Don't take their garbage & spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

`

The bottom line's that successful people don't 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's ten percent what you make it & ninety percent how you take it!"
