   One day I was in a taxi and we headed   37   the airport. We were driving in the  38  lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his   39  ，slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and   40 the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car looked around and started   41   at us.
   My taxi driver just   42  and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really   43  . 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”.

You store the bad memories more easily, and you   52  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   53   it！
