The Garbage Truck

'One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We weredriving 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.... Love the
people who treat you right,Forgive the ones who don't!! Life is ten percent
what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a garbage-free day!'


Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching???
