Letting go of success
I want to make the most of every day. And, like most people, I've____ that the best way to do it is to let go of past failures. But that's not all.

When his mother told him the time had come to ____, the little boy asked the actor, “Can I have this?” ____ to the Oscar.

When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the in my records. His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to “You’re lowering my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in ……”
He didn’t finish the but it was obvious that his display of honesty was false. He thought he’d have it all—praise and the grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade stand all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being in the future. And every time I tell this , some people agree with this remark.
But I can’t see how I could give good for worsening my mistake in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest reflection of his and it would have been to other students. How could I possibly give a a gift of an unearned grade?
I know voluntarily reporting an error in one’s favor is , but, like extra change, it’s the thing to do. People with real honesty, hate to give up benefits as mush as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is reward enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps the student’s grade did discourage him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have him even more. The duty to be honest is right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

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.
