How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter, rude boss, or an insensitive employee your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed the airport. We were driving in the right lane suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, slide sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and narrowly the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started at us.
My taxi driver just and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really . 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 that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage up, they need a place to dump (倒) it and sometimes they’ll dump it on . Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
Believe me. You’ll be more . Don’t take their garbage and it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets, Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s in your life. Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University, found in his extensive research that you bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories rather easily, and you them more frequently.
So...Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you it!
When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by go of the bad. Have a Garbage Free Day!Have a marvelous, garbage-free day!The seeds you plant today the harvest you reap tomorrow.

It was huge.”

This seemed like a very 38 process, but there’ s always some soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then that we find ways to people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my , I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still . Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few , I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it.” Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to the past wrongdoings.

Immediately I got up and dressed, I stuck my violin under my jacket and went out into the streets to try my . I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely , feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
I felt tense and . It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under the jacket like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling overhead, that I was about to myself. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the before me, the violin under my chin.
The first notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest, then they settled down and began to run more _ and to stay more or less in tune. To my ,I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any at all. Then an old man, without stopping at all, dropped a penny into my as though getting rid of some guilty evidence.
I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually obtaining the truth of the by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money---the sight could a kind-hearted man; nor was it wise to it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a practice and I made sure, between tunes, to take off most of the earnings, but always leaving two behind.
Old were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls and barmaids. As for men, heavy drinkers were always willing listeners and so were big guys with muscles. But a man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog: respectable types were the least of all. Except for retired army officers, who would shout "Why aren't you , young man?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion.
