The Garbage Truck and Life
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 & waved at guy. And I mean he was really friendly.
So I asked, “Why did you just do that? That guy almost ruined your car and send us to the hospital!”
That is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, ‘The Law of Garbage Truck’.
He explained that may people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full or frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they will 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. Wish well for the ones who don’t.
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
I hope you would have been enlightened by the thought of the taxi driver and I thank my well wisher for Posting this message to me.
