I don’t like Forwards or Chain Letters or mail, whatever you want to call them. I pretty much NEVER pass them on, no matter how much bad luck they threaten with. I think most people know that, I don’t get many sent my way, if I do it’s usually worth while or that particular person doesn’t know I don’t like them so I have to tell them. Although, from time to time I do get one that is not only worth reading but also worth sharing. I like this one so much I thought I’d repost it for you right here.
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 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.
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.
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
Have a garbage-free day!
