走在喧嚣的街道上，站在拥挤的地铁里，坐在高压的办公室里，似乎总有一腔怨气挥之不去，从外部到内在同时积压着我们并不算坚韧的心灵，生活变得面目可憎。然而，环境诚然难以改变，你却有另外一种姿态可以选择…… Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day? Unless you’re the Terminator, for an instant, you’re probably set back on your heels. However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly she/he can get back her/his focus on what’s important. Five years ago I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of a taxicab inIndianapolis. Here’s what happened: I hopped in a taxi and we took off for Indianapolis Airport. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car’s back end by just inches! The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And, I mean, he was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck.” |
