A friend sent this to me:
One
day I hopped in a taxi to go to 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 brakes, 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.
I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and nearly sent us to the hospital!”
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 to not let garbage trucks take over your 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.
