Law Of Garbage Truck !

[Guest guest]

How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood ?Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitiveemployee ruin your day?However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly one can getback their focus on what's important.David J. Pollay explains his story in this way....Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson. I learned it in the backof a New York City taxi cab. Here's what happened. I hopped in a taxi,and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the rightlane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking spaceright in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, andmissed the other Car's' back end by just inches!The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a bigaccident, whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words atus. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean...he wasfriendly. So,

I said, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruinedyour car and sent us to the hospital!"And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call,"The Lawof theGarbage Truck.""Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full ofgarbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you letthem, they'll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don'ttake it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.You'll be happy you did."I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run rightover me?And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to otherpeople: at Work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, "I'm notgoing to do It anymore."Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.Love the people who treat you right,Forget about the ones who

don't. Believe thatEverything happens for a reason. Never let the garbage truck run Over You......
