Good advice

[David /Eva Muhumuza]

Hiya All,

 

A bit quiet out there  but I know that's because you are busy doing some good . A line or two now and again would be an encouragement to somebody.

 

Here is one I received (attached) from a friend recently.

 

I am reminded of;

Prov 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

 

Prov 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

Prov 27:10 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

 

Enjoy

 

Dave

Thanks Stephen for the good advice.

Dear all,

Please read this, I found it interesting and important
in our lives;

How often do you let other people's nonsense change
your mood? Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt
boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day? Unless
you're the Terminator, for an instant you're probably
set back on your heels. However, the mark of a
successful person is how quickly she can get back her
focus on what's important.

Learned it in the back of a Harare City taxi cab.
Here's what happened.. I
hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Westgate . We
were driving when all of a sudden 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's back end by just inches!

Here's what happened next. The driver of the other
car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped
his head around and he started yelling bad words at
us. How do I know? Ask any Zimbabwean , some words in
Harare come with a special face.

Now, here's what blew me away. 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 the
hospital!" And this is when my taxi driver told me
what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck."

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 if you let
them, they'll dump
it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don't
take it personal. You just smile, wave, wish them
well, and move on. You'll be happy you did. I
guarantee it.

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 do 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 going to do
it anymore."

I began to see garbage trucks. Like in the movie "The
Sixth Sense," the
little boy said, "I see Dead People." Well now "I see
Garbage Trucks." I
see the load they're 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, wish
them well, and I move on.

One of my favourite Football players of all times ,
Ronaldino , does this
every day on the football field.With a smile he always
jumps up as quickly as he hits the ground after being
tackled. He never dwells on a hit. Ronaldino is always
ready to make the next play his best. 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.

Leaders and parents know that they have to be fully
present,and at their
best for the people they care about.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let
Garbage Trucks take
over their day. What about you? What would happen in
your life, starting
today, if you let more garbage trucks pass you by?

Here's my bet.
You'll be happier. I guarantee it.
