'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

One day a man hopped in a taxi and they took off for the airport. They were
driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a
parking space right in front of them. The 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. The taxi
driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really
friendly.
So the man asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car
and sent us to the hospital!' This is when the taxi driver taught the guy 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'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 is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
