The Law of the Garbage Truck (Thought for the day)

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. 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!
Have a blessed, garbage-free day!
