Are you a garbage truck?

One of our VP's sent me this today. To help with spirits during the economic crunch he has been sending us quips and quotes each day.

This one I thought would be good to pass along to my Pelican buddies.

Obviously, no one lives in a perfectly stress free world where absolutely nothing goes wrong but this may help you in getting through the tough days.


LAW OF THE GARBAGE TRUCK

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 driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My driver just smiled and waved at the guy.

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 driver taught me what I now call "The La 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 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 and ninety percent how you take it.

Have a garbage-free day!!

If you have cycled a road once and enjoyed it, it is perfectly OK to recycle.

Just don't talk trash.

Have a good one, folks.
