Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
One day, I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a 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 would have sent us to the hospital!'
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call the 'The Law of the Garbage Truck'. He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, 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. Forgive the ones who don't'. This attitude will help you sail through life. There will be fewer jerks and bumps. Learn to take the bad with the good, for life can never be perfect. Acceptance of what is the solution. Don't react, just accept and you will be a lot happier. Life is ten per cent what you make it and ninety per cent how you take it!
