There are situations that turn people into monsters but ironically instead of snorting, babbling or approaching the menace aggressively, this very law teaches you to give thousand chances to your Enemy to become your friend, but never give a single chance to your Friend to become your enemy.
The Law of the Garbage Truck
One day a friend of mine hopped in a taxi and they took off for the airport. They were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of them.
His 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 them!
His taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, really friendly. So he asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”
****************
This is when the taxi driver taught him what he now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage (frustration, anger, and disappointment, etc.). 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.
****************
Living in the favourable and unfavourable situation is called “PART OF LIFE”, But smiling in all those situations is called “ART OF LIFE”
Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can't prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you're presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power.
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. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
Have a blessed, garbage-free day.

Alright thanks. Yep, I do my best. I hardly get upset but when I do, I go into hiding; to watch movie/play games/read/pray and lol, most at times, sleep. I must have refreshed myself by the time I come back. It is on rare occasion that I vent a little but no matter what, I'ld never used any combative words on anybody and I won't.
