ONCE..."Garbage Truck"
got this one from a friend
One day I hopped in a taxi and we 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 on his breaks, 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 the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'
He explained that 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. 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.
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.....

ONCE...on TEST
Such a nice combination for today; 20082008 (20th Aug 2008). And today it signifies lots of things. Ironically, I've been sharing with few closed friends about TEST.
Each one of us being tested on various occasion, various challenges, various problems, various situations. Some of us prevail while some might seems like fail. I told them that "He only testing you on the areas that you can handle. He knows how far you can go with that test, what you need to choose to come out successfully from the test. He will not give you the test if you can't take it." Well, we don't know the definition of success actually. The test is definitely has some lesson for us to take, ponder and accept, and praise Him for His Greatness.
When listening to some of friends, I think and I believed I'm ready and strong to face any test. But really, we can only know once we're tested or being tested on it. Office colleague shared this afternoon that he just lost his mom 2 weeks ago. Not only that, his aunt (who's like a mother to him as well) also passed away...about 2 hours after his mother. We shared the same thought. Only once tested then we know how strong we are.
In the test, normally we will have 2 options; the best or the worst. Typicall, we choose 'the best' as normally it related to good things. The worst option will lead to negative perception and outcome. But, I believed that either way, there are lessons to learn. There's wisdom lies beneath it waiting for us to uncover.
I went to MB Team Building at Fraser Hill last week. One of the challenges, thought us about 'eating our belacan', making decisions, never give up, don't be afraid to make mistakes, step back and move on till we succeed. In the Electric Maze, there are indicator that we've reached the destination. But in real life, we may or may not see the line. And mostly, once we reached the line, it's actually a starting line for another journey.
So, which journey are we taking ? Which one am I taking or looking for ? I think I know (I believed so)...but I guess better to get His confirmation before proceeding.
Life is great...!!!
