GOOD STORY TO SHARE WITH YOU

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving  in the right lane when suddenly a car jumped out of a parking space right in  front of us. My taxi driver slam med 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 street.

The bottom line is that successful people don’t 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. Forgive the ones who don’t.’

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent

how you take it!
