G a r b a g e

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 came 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

turned his head around,

and, started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled,

and, waved at the guy.

The driver was really friendly.

So, I asked him, "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 go 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.

Sometimes, they'll 'throw it' on you.

At that time, don't take it personally.

Just smile, wish them well, and, move on.

Also, don't take their 'garbage'

and, spread it onto other people ---

at home, at work, or, outside.

The bottom line is that smart people

do not let 'garbage' take over their day.

Life is ten percent what you make it,

and, ninety percent how you take it.

Have a 'garbage-free' day!
