"The Law of the Garbage Truck"

By Materials & Welding -
One day, I hopped into a taxi and 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 the brakes,
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. I mean, 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, "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. NEVER take it personally. Just smile, wave,
wish
them well, and move on with the routine life." 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....... 'Love the people who treat you right.. Pray for the ones who
don't.'

A very rightly said quote: Life is 10% what you make and 90% how you
take!!!

      A sting of white pearls - A must, for every womans’ jewelry collection. For generations they have been a sign of elegance and subtle beauty. The royals worldwide have doted on this gemstone, be it our own Rajmata Gayatri Devi to go with her chiffons or Queen Elizabeth with her elaborate royal gowns. Pearls as an accessory holds its ground with whatever you wear it….   Valuable pearls occur in the wild, but they are very rare. These are called Natural Pearls . They are formed inside the shell of certain mollusks: as a defense mechanism to a potentially threatening irritant such as a parasite inside its shell, injuring the mantle tissue. The mollusk creates a pearl sac to seal off the irritation. They come in many shapes with perfectly round ones being comparatively rare. Single natural pearls are often sold as a...

Spiders Facts

By Materials & Welding -

Certain female species of spiders such as the Australian crab spider, sacrifice their bodies as a food source for their offspring. Some male spiders pluck their cobwebs like a guitar, to attract female spiders. Fried spiders taste like nuts. The largest spider ever was the Megarachne which had a diameter of 50 cm. The fossil was found in Argentina. The bite from a black widow spider is not automatically fatal. In fact, less than 1% of all people bitten by this spider run the risk of dying, and most of them are saved with the use of antivenin. The skeleton of a spider is located on the outside of the body. Spiders usually have eight eyes, but still they cannot see that well. There are about 35,000 species of spiders. Spiders have claws at the ends of their legs. Only the female black widow spider has a poisonous bite. The male spider's venom is not poisonous and it does not attack its prey. Of the 35,000 species of spiders, only 27 species are known to have caused human fa...
