My son Joey was born with club feet(天生特厚的畸形脚). The doctors promised us that with treatment he would be able to walk      , but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were        in surgery(手术). By the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he had a     when you saw him walk.
The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during      , and Joey would jump right in, run and play, too. We      told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to      as well as the other children. So he didn’t know.
In seventh grade he     to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he     with the team. He worked harder and ran      than any of the others—perhaps he sensed that the      that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him.      the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the chance to      points for the school. We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn’t know.
He      to run four to five miles a day, every day —even the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was      , so I went to look for him after school. I found him      all alone. I asked him how he felt. “Okay,” he said. He had two more      to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy(目光呆滞的) from his fever.      he looked straight ahead and kept running.
Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were     . Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in      grade —the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn’t       to make the team. We never told him he couldn’t do it… so he didn’t know. He just did it.

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?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed      the airport. We were driving in the right lane      suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, slide sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and narrowly      the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started      at us.
My taxi driver just      and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really     . 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       that 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 (倒) 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 more     . Don’t take their garbage and      it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets, 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. 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 rather 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!
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.
