Do
you ever get angry? If so, do you allow anger to get a hold of
you? The foregoing questions may apply to all of us. On July 14,
2010, an email message was received from a lady friend. The email
deals with anger. The title of the email message is: "THE
LAW OF THE
GARBAGE TRUCK".
This email message is worthwhile to read and encourages a person to be more
pleasant to one another.

THE LAW
OF
THE
GARBAGE
TRUCK
~
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 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 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. Pray for the ones who
don't." You are one of the people who treat me right, so I wanted
to share this with you.
Thank you for being a part of my
life!
SUCCESS
. . . . . is the sum of small efforts,
repeated
day in and day out!
Good
days give you happiness;
Bad days give you experience;
Both
are essential to life........
