Sixteen years ago, I learnedan important life1in the back of a New City taxi.
I was on my2to Grand Central Station, andwe were driving in the right way when a black car3sped out of a parking spaceright in front of us.
My driver hit the brakes（刹车） hard, and4the other car by a few centimeters.The driver of the other car, the man who had just nearly caused a huge accident,started5at us. My taxi driver just smiledand moved his hand. He was really6!
"Why did you just do that?"I asked him, "This guy almost destroyed your car and7have sent us to the hospital!"This was when my taxi driver told me8I now call "the Law ofGarbage Trucks (垃圾车)".
"Many people are like garbagetrucks. They run around full of garbage, full of9and full of disappointment,"he said. "10their garbage is more and more,they need a place to dump(丢弃) it, and if you let them, they'lldump it on you. So when someone wants to dump garbage on you, just smile, move yourhand, wish them well, and move on. You'll be11 because of what you have done.
I started thinking,12do I let garbage trucks runright over me? And how often do I take their garbage and dump it on other people– at work, at home, or on the street? It was on that day that I said: "I'mnot going to dump13."
Successful people do not letGarbage Trucks influence them. What about you? If you let more garbage trucks passyou by, you'll be happier. Life is too short to14 in the morning with regrets. So, love the peoplewho treat you right.15 the ones who don't.
