"The Law of the Garbage Truck."
======================
by taxiclient
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 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.....
Dont look back at the gremlins,
Love the people who treat you right.
Pray for the ones who don't.
