Sixteen years ago, I learned an important life1in the back of a New City taxi.
I was on my2to Grand Central Station, and we were driving in the right way when a black car3sped out of a parking space right 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 smiled and moved his hand. He was really 6!
"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 of Garbage Trucks (垃圾车)".
"Many people are like garbage trucks. 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'll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump garbage on you, just smile, move your hand, wish them well, and move on. You'll be 11 because of what you have done.
I started thinking, 12do I let garbage trucks run right 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'm not going to dump 13."
Successful people do not let Garbage Trucks influence them. What about you? If you let more garbage trucks pass you by, you'll be happier. Life is too short to 14 in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right. 15 the ones who don't.
