As Mrs.Thompson stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.

But that was impossible，because there in the front row，slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.Mrs.Thompson noticed that he didn’t play well with the other children，that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath.And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs.Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen，making bold X’s and then putting a big “F”at the top of his papers.

However，when she reviewed his file，she got a surprise.

Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote，“Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners... he is a joy to be around.”

His second grade teacher wrote，“Teddy is an excellent student，well liked by his classmates，but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle.”

His third grade teacher wrote，“His mother’s death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but his father doesn’t show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren’t taken.”

Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote，“Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school.He doesn’t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.”

Now, Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought her beautifully wrapped Christmas presents. Teddy’s present，however，was clumsily wrapped in rough brown grocery paper.Taking her time she opened Teddy’s gifts，a rhinestone bracelet with stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle.How the children laughed！“What a pretty bracelet! Mm，lovely perfume！Perfect on my wrist，”The children were silent.

After school，Teddy told Mrs. Thompson，“Today you smelled just like my mom used to...”His teacher cried all night and, from that day，she stopped teaching reading, writing，and arithmetic and began to teach children instead.

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 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 the airport. We were driving in the lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his , slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car , the guy who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started at us.

My taxi driver just and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was ,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 , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on . Don’t take it personally; Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be .”

So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and 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 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s in your life. See, Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you __ bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you __ 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 _ 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 go of the bad.

Have a Garbage-Free Day！Have a marvelous, garbage-free day！The seeds you plant today the harvest you reap tomorrow.

Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their houses.

One evening, Brownie’s family noticed that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didn’t show up the next day, and, although they made their efforts to find him, by the next week he was still missing, Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie’s house alone, barking and jumping. Busy with their own lives, they paid no attention to the nervous little neighbor dog.

Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take “no” for an answer. Ted, Brownie’s owner, was continuously disturbed by the angry, determined little dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking all the time, then rushing toward a nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, “Follow me! It’s urgent!”

Eventually, Ted followed Spotty across the empty lot as Spotty stopped to race back and barked encouragingly. The little dog led the man to a deserted spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his legs crushed in a steel trap (圈套). Frightened, Ted now wished he had taken Spotty’s earlier appeals seriously.

Then Ted noticed something. Spotty had done something else besides leading Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found some food remains of every meal. Brownie had been fed that week! Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in the hope of keeping his friend alive. Spotty had actually stayed with Brownie to protect him from hunger and other dangers, and keep his spirits up.

Brownie’s leg was carefully treated and he soon got well again. For many years thereafter the two families watched the faithful friends chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.

It was a cold winter morning. Half asleep at the train station, I stared into the distance, 41 for the train to take me to my 42 in Boston. The world was quiet. The very few people on the street kept to themselves, 43 their steaming cups of coffee.

Reaching into my pocket as the 44 was getting close, my hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare. The pocket was 45 ! I searched through my bag and then I felt 46 . Unless the money dropped from the sky, I’d be 47 there. “What’s the matter?” A short, elderly man stood before me. “Oh, nothing…. Well, I 48 my money and now I can’t pay for the ticket. I’m going to 49 my match class, and the train is leaving.”

“Here, use this.” The man held a $ 20 bill. I looked up, 5 0 . People just didn’t do that anymore. Everyone worried about their own 51 , rarely stopping to think about others, especially teenage strangers. “Thank you, but no, I can’t.”

“ 52 it – go!” The man pushed me 53 the train. I bought a round – trip ticket, and he refused the change I 54 to give him back. I did not know what to say – a million thoughts raced through my mind, yet I stood 55 .

For the train ride I was wordless. I began to see the world through 56 eyes. That man made a difference with such a simple 57 .

A week later I was at the train station again, with an extra 20$ 58 I saw the man. And there he was. “Excuse me, sir, I believe I owe you this.” I 59 the money into his hand. Failing to refuse, he said, “Just remember to do the same for someone in your shoes someday.” I smiled, content.

The elderly man is my hero. For many, heroes are famous, but my hero is a 60 stranger who taught me a lesson in life. I will never forget his kindness.
