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  1  your 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   2  the airport. We were driving in the  3  lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us.  My taxi driver slammed on his  4, slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and  5  the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started  6  at us.
My taxi driver just  7 and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was  8, so 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 taught me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck".
He said, “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 9 full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage  10  up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on 11 .  Don’t take it personally; Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be  12 .”
So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and  13  it 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 14 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s 15  in your life. See, Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you __16  bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you __17  them 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 _18  it！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  19 go of the bad.
Have a Garbage-Free Day！Have a marvelous, garbage-free day！The seeds you plant today  20  the harvest you reap tomorrow.

Earlier this morning I e-mailed an old friend, Mark. We have been out of touch for 12 years, but the   36   is a wonderful thing. Finding his e-mail address   37   less than a minute. He is working on his doctoral paper in western America.

    Mark and I met at a summer   38   that we both attended. I went every year from the time I was 8 or 9 until I was 15. I don’t   39   exactly, but I think Mark was there for as many years as I was.

    We lived close to each other and   40   saw each other around the campsite, but not often. Mostly we stayed together for a week or two in the   41   and wrote letters back and forth during the rest of the first few years. I still have all of his letters in a box somewhere. I come across them occasionally and   42   to sit down and read through them, but I never have. He was a   43   and precious friend to me, and I am deeply   44   that we have drifted so far apart.

     Mark was a very kind and incredibly bright and funny   45  . He loved Monty Python — I mean he was a fanatic(狂热者), and could   46   entire movies from memory. He was one of those kids who   47   such a unique and powerful mind   48   they never quite fit into the main stream of life.   49   Mark, who I believe realized that, never seemed to care about it. When I knew that Mark was working on his   50   (on a highly intellectual and fairly mysterious and difficult topic), I thought, “Well yes, of course.” He is just where I would

  51   him to be.

     I wonder if he will write me back. I wonder if he will be   52   by where I am. I wonder whether he and I can be   53   again, or whether these years have left us with   54  

in common. I wonder whether he can ever be the man I   55  , or only remain the boy I knew.

We were driving in the right lane while, all of sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking
space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on my brakes, skidded. and missed the other
car’s back end through just inches! The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big
accident, turned his head angrily and started yelling bad word at us. 
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.  I mean, he was friendly. So I said, “Why
do you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital!” And this was that my
taxi driver told me, which I call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”.
Many people are as garbage trucks and they run around full of garbage, full of frustration , full
of anger, and full of disappointment. Their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump（倾倒）it.
And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it
personal. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You’ll be happy at what you do.

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 your day?
