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? 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'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!
