A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a 16 , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it 17 from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles, 18 everywhere. I tried to use a broom, 19 with each swipe they just rolled across the kitchen．
For the next week, every time I was in the 20 , I found a pea---in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept 21 . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and 22 12 frozen peas hidden underneath．
At the time I found those few remaining 23 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful 24 I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded 25 those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my 26 had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered（破碎. My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble 27 his new surroundings and the 28 of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered．

You’ll find all the peas 32 , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them 33 you’ll start to feel whole again．
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to 34 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom, 35 will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

We were driving on the right road when, all of a sudden, a black car pulled out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stepped on his brake, skidded(打滑), and missed the black car’s back end by just inches! The driver of the black car, who almost caused a major accident, turned his head angrily and started shouting bad words at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I mean, my taxi driver was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital!” And the following is what my taxi driver told me, which I now call “the law of the Garbage Truck”.
“Many people are like garbage(垃圾) trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump(倾卸)it. And if you let them, they dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish him well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be happier.”
So this is “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. I started thinking: How often do I let “Garbage Trucks” run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets? It was then that I said, “I’m not going to do it any more.”
I began to see “Garbage Trucks”. I see the load they’re carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I don’t make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, and move on.
Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. What about you? The mark of a successful person is how quickly he can get back his focus on what’s important.
