The Garbage Truck Law
-forwarded email: napulot ko sa yahoo groups ng UP Circuit-
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 breaks, 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 is 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.’
Tama nga. Wag maging basurahan ng iba.

Bilib tlg ako sa mga simpleng taong may mga prinsipyo gaya ng mamang drayber.-He’s really making a difference db? Totoo naman sinabi nya eh.
Dati ganyan ako eh PROACTIVE. (Tinry ko lng) Nagiisip muna bago magreact. Pero minsan pag sampu-sampung inggetero’t inggeterang chismosang mukhang mga chararat ang dumarambong sayo pagpasok mo pa lang sa opisina para pagpistahan na naman anong suot mo, bakit single kp,sino yung kasama mo sa lobby,,etc…nako! minsan hindi mo mapigilang sumirit palabas ang natitirang kasamaan mo sa katawan eh. Mababanas ka din. Pero totoo yung Kasabihang Love ur enemy (post ko to ah?) pray for them who curse u (mga inggitera sa office) and despitefully use u (Boss ko.)… ginawa ko kaya yan…EPEKTIB TLGA! I testify! Kinabukasan lumapit yung kaaway ko at nakipag ayos!–ngayon yung iba…kung ayaw nila 2migil, fine.
In fact ,the more they curse me (As in mura ah?) the more they’re blessing me! sorry n lng. nyahahaha!
