The Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a 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

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so 'Love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who don't​
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it

Read this article while back and actually applied the same rule on myself. Been very happy with myself since then. Not many things bother me anymore and ive learnt to ignore such rubbish people

I think you're absolutely right! If we took things like that personally all of the time, we would just go around being ticked off and angry at everyone. Don't waste your time or energy getting ticked off about things you have no control over. Live and let live!
