An Interesting Story

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 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? That guy almost ruined your car and 
sent us to the hospital!”

That  is  when  my  taxi driver taught me what I now call, “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  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. Wish well for the ones who don’t..”

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
