垃圾车定律

荷叶/译

       我们行驶在正确的车道上，这时，一辆黑色汽车突然从停车位窜出来，挡在我们前面。我的出租车司机猛踩刹车，车一打滑，差点撞上那辆车的车尾。那辆车的司机，一个差点酿成大祸的家伙，愤怒地伸出头来，朝着我们破口大骂。

       我的出租车司机只是朝他笑笑，挥了挥手。我的意思是，他很友好。因此，我问：“你为什么要这样做？那家伙几乎令我们车毁人伤。”下面是我的出租车司机的回答，我现在称之为“垃圾车法则”。

       许多人像垃圾车一样。满载着沮丧，愤怒，失望这些垃圾东游西逛。当他们的垃圾堆积起来时，他们需要一个地方来倾倒。如果你允许，他们会把垃圾倾倒在你身上。当有人想往你身上倾倒垃圾时，请别在意。你只需笑笑，挥挥手，祝福他们，然后继续前进。这样做你会很开心。

       因此，这就是我所说的“垃圾车法则”。我开始思考：有多少次我让垃圾车从我身上碾过？又有多少次我接过垃圾并把它传给别人，不管是在工作中，在家里，还是在大街上？

       正是在那天，我对自己说：“我再也不会那样做了。”

       我开始看见垃圾车了。我见到了车上载的东西。我看见垃圾车急驰而来，想要倾倒。像我的出租车司机一样，我不再介意。我只是笑笑，挥挥手，然后继续前进。

       好领导懂得他们要随时准备遭遇垃圾车，好父母懂得他们要以拥抱和吻来欢迎从学校回家的孩子。你呢？一个成功人士的标志是他能使自己的注意力迅速重新回归到重要事情上。

附：原文

We were driving in the right lane, all of sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded and missed theother car’s back end by just inches! The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head angrily and started yelling bad words at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital. And this was what my taxi driver told me which I call, ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck. '

Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, fullof anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it.     And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. You just smile, wave, and wish them well, and move on. You’ll be happy you did.

So this was it, ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck. 'I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often did I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, on the streets?

It was that day I said, “I’m not to do it any more.’

I began to see garbage trucks. I see the load they are carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I don’t make it a personal thing. I just smile,wave and move on.

Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. What about you? The mark of a successful person is how quickly they can get back their focus on what’s important.
