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.

Very true!!! Most people are only half awake and react to what's going on around them as if they're some kind of robot. They are run by outside programming instead of their true heart. They forget that between action and response, there is choice. The angry driver was reacting to the near accident in anger because s/he was on automatic pilot....probably thinking about how the day is/was horrible and nothing is going right. The adrenaline that the body pumped out due to the near miss went strait to the negative thoughts the driver was already having, magnifying those thoughts causing the negative outburst.

Life is like photography. You develop what you focus on....I choose to focus on love
