The Law of the Garbage Truck

[liquidcherry]

One day I hopped in a taxi and 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 genuinely, 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, full of hate, full of violence.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and invariably they try to 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 is 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.'

Cheers,

Frank
