   How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? The mark of a successful person is how   36   he can get back his focus on what is important.

   Two years ago I gained the knowledge about the Law of the Garbage Truck. I   37   it in a taxi. I got on a taxi, and we headed for Grand Central Station. We were  38  in the right lane(行车道) when   39  a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stepped on his brakes(刹车)heavily, and    40   the car’s back end by just inches!

   The driver almost caused a(n)   41  , saying bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy  42    . So, I said, “This guy almost   43   your car and sent us to the   44   !” On the way to the Grand Central Station, my taxi driver told me what I now   45   “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”

   “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of   46   , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage becomes more, they needed a(n)   47  to dump(扔) it. When someone wants to dump it on you, don’t   48   it. You just smile, wish them well, and focus on important things quickly.

  Good leaders know they have to be  49  for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. Good  50  and parents know what is   51  for them. The bottom line is that   52  people do not let garbage Trucks take over their day.

  Life is too   53  to wake up in the morning with  54  , so take your time and love the people who treat you right.  55  about the ones who don’t. Don’t be regretful for your life.

Do you know some people who just have all the luck? They seem to get all the       and you ask yourself: “Why don’t I get    ? Why don’t I get a great education?” But the real reason why most people are successful or lucky is that they’ve learned how to       themselves in a place so they can be lucky. They’ve learned how to, in a way,       their own luck!

I’m not       about dishonest or illegal ways. I’m talking about hard,       work. But successful people work smart. They keep improving and making the most of their abilities. Yet they also learn to      for help in things they themselves are not that good       doing. So we not only must make the most of our own special strengths, we must also learn our       and weaknesses.

A man recently got his lucky big break. Everyone said, “That guy’s so lucky!” But that man created his own luck       by arriving at the office early. He apologized and       when he was wrong. He even shared the credit and reward with others       he had done much of the work. He was never satisfied just to get       and do average work. He always       the extra effort to do his very best.

We have to work hard and do what it       to be on the way to luck and success when it comes.        , weMI miss it because we aren’t ready. You never know when the right opportunity will come your way, and when the right, important person is watching your excellent        and work. That’s when you’ll get your lucky break! But when you put your life in Jesus Christ’s         , the right important person is always         you and all that you do. Then he will       and bless vour life in manv wavs as vou do vour very best to please him in every thina every dav.
