Read this somewhere…really cool:
“One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space 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. 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.”
Well, I guess successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.
Love the people who treat you right, ignore those who don't.

Thanks for your comment in my blog and for the explanations about Kenya. If yo read below my Catalan words (in my blog) you will find an English translation of them, and a link towards all my English posts.
I'm Catalan, Catalan is Catalunya's language. Catalunya's Capital is Barcelona, but I try to translate as much as I can.
I hope you read my translations.
Greetings!
And... of course... this words about the taxi are wonderful. I think we have to give hapiness, peace, and positive energy everybody!
Hmm... I like your post and how true the message rings. Shows that some stray streaks of light in a dark and embittered people still do exist. Thanks for your post
