19.How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood?Do you let a bad driver,impolite waiter,rude boss,or an insensitive employee(36)Byour day?Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab.One day I was in a taxi and we headed(37)Dthe airport.We were driving in the(38)Blane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver slammed on his(39)A.slide sideways.and at the very last moment our car stopped and(40)Cthe other car by just inches!The driver of the ther car,the guy who almost caused a big accident,looked around and started(41)Dat us.
My taxi driver just(42)Band waved at the guy.And I mean,he was(43)Aso I said,"Why did you just do that?This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!"This is when my taxi driver aught me what I now call"The Law of the Garbage Truck".
He said,"Many people are like garbage trucks.They run around full of(44)C,fall of frustration,full of anger,and fall of disappointment.As their garbage (45)Dup,they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on(46)C.Don't take it personally; Just smile,wave,wish them well,and move on.Believe me.You'll be(47)B."
So I started thinking,how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me?And how often do I take their garbage and(48)Ait to other people at work,at home,or on the street?It was then that I said,"I don't want their garbage and I'm not going to spread it anymore."
Life's too short to wake up in the morning with(49)D.The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what's (50)Bin your life.See,Roy Baumeister,a psychology researcher from Florida State University,found in his extensive research that you(51)Abad things more often than good things in your life.You store the bad memories more easily,and you(52)Cthem more frequently.So love the people who treat you right.Ignore the ones who don't.Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you(53)Bit!The odds are against you when a Garbage Truck comes your way,but when you follow"The Law of the Garbage Truck",you take back control of your life.You make room for the good by(54)Ago of the bad.
Have a Garbage-Free Day!Have a marvelous,garbage-free day!The seeds you plant today (55)Dthe harvest you reap tomorrow.

"Examine the extended family,and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent,aunt,uncle or cousin in every generation.It's an inheritable trait,"says Russell Barkley,a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina.Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance(支配地位) when they sense their parents are weak,hesitant,or in disagreement with each other.
Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work,too much control in the hands of the young isn't healthy for children or the family."Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behaviour,"says family psychologist John Taylor."Children,"he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation,"have secret feelings of weakness and a desire to feel safe.It's the parents'role to provide that protection."
When a"boss child"doesn't learn limits at home,the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family.The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches,for example,or trouble keeping friends.It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.
"I see more and more parents giving up their power,"says Barkley,who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30years."They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were.But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills.Their kids,in turn,feel more anxious."
So for the sake of the children,parents should be strict with them in a suitable way and get more knowledge to be good parents.
