THE TAXI AND 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 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 t o 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.
