The Principle of the Garbage Truck

in an unexpected moment, you will see how God moves in a mysterious way...

i had a discussion with my team lead and i was totally wrecked. i ended up feeling down and need something get numb. i browsed on some old emails and i found this email from my friend tina....

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 if you'll let them, 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. Forget about the ones who don't... Believe that everything happens for a reason.If you get a chance, TAKE IT! If it changes your life, LET IT!

it's so funny, it made me feel better. my co-workers know how i feel about a certain issue. but this email from tina made me think that i shouldn't do what i was about to do. God loves me very much for he never let me feel down...

thank you God for giving me the people i have right now...
