This is just something I read from some1's blog , just wanna share it here w/ you.

"One day I hopped in a taxi & 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, & missed the other car by just inches!
The driver of the other car whipped his head around & started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled & 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 & 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, & full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it & sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, & move on. Don't take their garbage & 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 & ninety percent how you take it!

Have a blessed, garbage-free day!

the problem is, somehow I always play the role of the garbage truck. Lol. I tend to take on others' garbage as well. =(

Now that's a great metaphor. Love the moral.
