Law of the Garbage Truck

Great Message To Live By
One day I
hopped in a taxi and 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, 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 is 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
garbage-free day!
