One day I jumped into a taxi and took off for the airport.
We were driving in the right lane
36 suddenly a black car jumped out of a
parking space
37 in front of us. My taxi driver immediately put his foot on the 38 . The taxi slid a short distance quickly and
39 the other car by just inches! The driver of the black car moved his head around and started
40 at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy; and I mean he was
41 friendly, which is truly beyond my expectation.
42 I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost
43 your car
and sent us to the
44 !” This is when my taxi driver
45 me what I now call “the Law of the Garbage Truck.”
He
46 that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, disappointment, frustration (挫败感) and
47 . As their garbage
48 , they need a place to dump (丢弃) it and sometimes they’ll dump it on
49 . Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move
50 . Don’t take it
51 . Don’t take their garbage and
52 it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.
The
53 line is that successful people don’t let garbage trucks take over their day. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with
54 , so “Love the people who treat you
55 . Pray for the ones who don’t”.
