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.

His of how he survived is fascinating. His cleverness —how he to catch fish, how he evaporated (蒸发) sea water to fresh water—is very interesting.
But the thing that my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no in continuing the struggle. He was starved and worn-out. Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.

“I tell myself I can it,” wrote Callahan in his book. “Compared to what others have been through, I’m fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over, up courage…”
I wrote that down after I read it. It me as something important. And I’ve told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed off or when my problems seemed too terrible. And every time I’ve said it, I have always come back to my .
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad to something better. But others have been through the much worse, that is, in comparison with what others have been through, you’re fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you through the rough situations with a little more courage.

A man hired a taxi outside the airfield. The cab had a woolen carpet with 26 lace edges. On the glass partition that 27 the driver's seat was a copy of a famous painting. Its windows were all clean.The customer was very much 28 and said to the driver, “I've never seen a nicer 29 .”“Thank you for your praise.”the driver answered 30 .
“The car isn't mine,” said the driver. “It belongs to the company. I used to be a 31 of cabs. When they returned, all of them were as 32 as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish 33 here and there. On the seats and door-handles could be found something 34 like peanut sauce or, chewing gum.Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most 35 be considerate and refrain from littering.”
“So when I got a 36 to be a taxi-driver, I began 37 my idea into practice-to tidy and 38 the car. Now before a new passenger gets on my car, I'd make a cheek and be sure it is in good order.When my car 39 after a day's work, it always remains 40 .”
When doing a thing, one makes efforts and wants to see the result. To change others, one has to make twice the 41 but get half the result. To change oneself is the other way round-more fruit with less effort. One had better ask oneself why one makes 42 on others much more than on oneself. 43 you take enough care to do as best you can for other people's sake, your efforts will yield results, If you 44 the inner world of your own, examine yourself and wipe out the dust and dirt, instead of fixing your eyes on other people, you will find a cheerful 45 for yourself and create a pleasant environment for others.
