RE: [brader] The Law of the Garbage Truck

The Law of the Garbage Truck.....
 
 One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving 
 in the right lane when suddenly a car jumped out of a parking space right in 
 front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, 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 street.
 
 The bottom line is 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. Forgive the ones who don't.'

 

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent

how you take it!
