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 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.

Pray for the ones who don't.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a garbage-free day!

Nice.

Here's a quote from Jack Layton's final letter: (He passed away yesterday morning)
"My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world. "
