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?

Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab. One day I was in a taxi and we headed the airport. We were driving in the lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his , slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car , the guy who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started at us.

My taxi driver just and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was ,so I said，"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 said, “ 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 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 .”

So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and it to other people at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said, “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.”

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. See, 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 more 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！The odds are against you when a Garbage Truck comes your way, but 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.
