11、n do you let other people like a bad driver, a rude waiter, or an angry boss, change your mood?Sixteen years ago I learned a lesson. I got in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in
12、front of us. My taxi driver used his brakes, the tires made a loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just 3cm from the back of the other car.I couldnt believe it. But then I couldnt believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, tu
13、rned his head around and he started shouting at us. I couldnt believe it!My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy could have killed us!” And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He said, “Many peo
14、ple are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger and disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it.

In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamins older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper wi
19、th stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects. Three centuries after the appearance of Franklins Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, ma
20、rket value, and, in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, At places where they gather, editors ask one another, How are you?, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law c
21、ase.” An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet , which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death.
