LIVING GARBAGE FREE


Recently I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car pulled right in front of us.

My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, '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 explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of Garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their Garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. He said "Don't take it personally."

"Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on!! Don't take their Garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets."

Moral: The bottom line is that stress free people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so Love on the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is Ten percent what you make it and Ninety percent how you take it!! Have a garbage-free day!!!

CHANGING OUR VISION

There was a very wealthy man who was bothered by severe eye pain. He consulted many physicians and was being treated by several. He did not stop consulting a galaxy of medical experts; he consumed heavy loads of drugs and underwent hundreds of injections. But the ache persisted with more vigour than before. At last, a monk who was supposed to be an expert in treating such patients was called for by the suffering man. The monk understood his problem and said that for some time he should concentrate only on green colours and not to let his eyes fall on any other colours. It was a strange prescription, but he was desperate and decided to try it. The millionaire got together a group of painters and purchased barrels of green paint and directed that every object his eye was likely to fall to be painted green just as the monk had directed. When the monk came to visit him after few days, the millionaire's servants ran with buckets of green paint and poured it on him since he was in red

THE PERFECTIONIST SCULPTOR

Image
A gentleman once visited a temple under construction where  he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying nearby.  Surprised,  he asked the sculptor,  “Do you need two statues of the same idol?” “No,” said the sculptor without looking up,  “We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage.” The gentleman examined the idol and found no apparent damage.  “Where is the damage?”   he asked. “There is a scratch on the nose of the idol.” said the sculptor, still busy with his work. “Where are you going to install the idol?” The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar twenty feet high. “If the idol is that far, who is going to know that there is a scratch on the nose?” the gentleman asked. The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman, smiled and said, “I know it and God knows it!” The desire to excel should be exclusive of the fact whether someone appreciates it or not.  Excellence is
