The Law of the Garbage Truck

�

��� 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, "Whyapos;d 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 theyapos;ll dump it on you.� Donapos;t take it� personally. Just

Smile, wave, wish them well and move on.� Donapos;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. Lifeapos;s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so.....

"Love the people who treat you right, smile and pray for the ones who

Donapos;t."
