One day, I hopped into a taxi and 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 the 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. I mean, 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, "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. NEVER take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on with the routine life." Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so...... 'Love the people who treat you right.. Pray for the ones who don't.'
A very rightly said quote:
Life is 10% what you make and 90% how you take!!!!

Two Wolves....inside us all !!!
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
So feed the Good one... he will win for sure..!!

Nuclear Power......Ha Ha Ha
A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.'
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, ‘What would you like to talk about?'
'Oh, I don't know,' said the stranger. 'How about nuclear power?' and he smiles.
OK, ' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic.
But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass - .. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?'
The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, ‘Hmmm, I have no idea.'
To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?

Inspirational Story by Swami Vivekananda
Once, in Heaven there was a discussion among the Gods to decide where the miraculous secret power, the power by which man can achieve anything in this world was to be kept hidden.
One of the Gods suggested that it could be kept hidden in the depths of the Sea.
Another said it could be buried on top of high mountains.
The third one thought of a cave in the woods as the right place.
At last, the most intelligent among them said, 'Keep it in the depths of man's mind.
He will never suspect that the power is hidden there because right from his childhood, his mind is prone to wandering and he will not look within.
Only the intelligent among them will look within, and use the power and become great.'
All gods agreed.
So, do you see that the difference between two people lies in their minds?
Only the intelligent among them will look within, and use the power and become great.'
All gods agreed.
So, do you see that the difference between two people lies in their minds?
One knows how to tap its power and the other does not.
So, the truth expressed here is that in the depths of man's mind lies hidden the miraculous power, using which one can become great.
So, the truth expressed here is that in the depths of man's mind lies hidden the miraculous power, using which one can become great.
Whatever you think, that you will be.
If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be;
if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.
If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be;
if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.
By Swami Vivekananda.
