One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car drove 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.'
我的計程車司機只是微笑,對那傢伙揮揮手。我的意思是說,他表現得很友善。於是我問:「你剛才為什麼那麼做?那傢伙差點毀了你的車,還可能害我們受傷送醫院!」這是當時我的計程車司機告訴我的話,現在我就稱呼它為「垃圾車定律」。 作者: atitizz 時間: 2010-4-26 08:40 AM 本帖最後由 atitizz 於 2010-4-26 08:41 AM 編輯
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. Ignore the ones who don't. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
