Good one!

 

Garbage Truck Rule

~author unknown

 

 

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 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 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!

 

 

What a great philosophy!
