One day I got in a taxi,and we left for the airport.We were driving in the right lane (車道)when,suddenly,a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver stopped his car at once.The tire (輪胎)made a very loud noise,and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.
I was frightened.But then I couldn't believe what happened next.The driver of the other car,the guy who almost caused a big accident,turned his head and started yelling at us.I couldn't believe it!But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy.So I asked,“Why did you just do that?This guy almost sent us to hospital!”
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call“The Law of the Rubbish Truck (垃圾車法則)”.He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.They run around full of rubbish,full of anger.As their rubbish piles up,they look for a place to throw it and sometimes they'll throw it at you.Don't take it personally.Just smile,wish them well,and move on.Don't take their rubbish and spread it to other people at work,at home,or on the streets.
Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods.Life's too short to wake up in the morning,with regrets,so love those who love you and pray (祈禱)for those who don't.
