Law of Garbage Truck

Read a newspaper article today. Liked it very much. Now I would like to share it with you. Here it is;

Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the air port. 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 cars 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, Law of 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 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 and pray for the ones who don’t.

Life is 10 per cent what you make it and 90 per cent how you take it! Have a blessed garbage free day!
