 Remember to smile and wave
Law of 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 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!

P.S. I Love You
