How often do You let other people's rude actions change your mood? Do you let a bad driver or an impolite waiter make your day in a mess? However, the mark of your wise reply to the actions is how 1you can come back to smiling to them. Sixteen years ago, I learned this2at the back of a taxi in New York.

We were driving fast in the right lane (车道)when suddenly, a black car jumped3a parking space right to front of us. My taxi driver stepped on the brake(刹车)as hard as possible, and at the4moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.

I couldn't5what happened next. The driver of the car turned his head around and started6bad words. But then here's what really7me. My taxi driver just smiled and waved(挥手致意) at the guy. I said, "Why did you just do that? This guy nearly 8us!" He told me what I now remember "The Law of the Garbage(垃圾)Truck."

   He said,“Like garbage trucks, many people run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of regret. 9their garbage increases more and more, they look for a place to pour it.If you let them, they'll pour it on you. So when someone wants to pour it on you, don't feel hurt. Just smile, wave, and move on. You will be10.”

 I started thinking: how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and11it to other people? Then I knew clearly what I should do.

I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the bad12people are carrying. I see them coming to pour it. And like my taxi driver, I don't feel hurt. I just smile, wave, and move on。

    I stood in my grandmother's front yard with my son. He had a bottle of soapy water and a plastic loop (圈). You know the type. You dip (浸) the loop in the bottle, pull it 1 and blow it to make bubbles (气泡).

    My son dipped and dipped and blew and blew, but 2to blow bubbles. He handed me the bottle and loop and asked me, "Daddy, 3 you make bubbles?" I hadn't blown bubbles for years. I am a chemist by education. All my knowledge is 4 when it comes to trying to blow bubbles from a loop filled with soapy water. I had no more success than my son.

    After several tries 5the loop of soapy water, I gently (轻轻地)breathed on it. My son cried with joy as a big beautiful bubble 6 and moved slowly in the air. He grabbed (抓住)the loop, dipped and blew. No bubbles. I7 explained to him, "Son, you can't blow so hard; you must ever so gently breathe on the loop to make bubbles." He followed my8 and blew gently. This time he made a big beautiful bubble, then 9…

    There are some things that you can get with force, 10 there are other things that only come with the gentleness of a soft breath. The closer something is to higher spirit, the more it is like bubbles; it can't be forced.
