I Read the passage carefully and answer the questions. One day, I
hopped
in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right
lane when suddenly a 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 thehospital!'
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call the 'The law of
the Garbage Truck'. He explained that many people are like garbage
trucks. They run around full of garbage, 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. Questions :
