The narrator was in a taxi that nearly crashed when another car cut them off. The taxi driver remained friendly even as the other driver yelled at them. When asked why he was so friendly, the taxi driver explained "The law of the Garbage Truck" - that many people are like garbage trucks, full of negative emotions, and may dump these on others. However, successful people don't let garbage trucks ruin their day by smiling and moving on rather than spreading negativity.

Law of Garbage Truck
2. 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 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.
3. 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 could
almost ruin 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
4. 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 theyll dump it on you.
Dont take it personally.
Just smile, wave, wish them well and move on.
Dont take their garbage and spread it to other people
at work, at home or on the streets
5. The bottom line is that successful people do not let
garbage trucks take over their day.
Lifes too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right. Pray for the
ones who dont.
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent
how you take it.
