THE STORY
THE LAW OF THE GARBAGE TRUCK
---------------------------------
I hopped in a taxi and we 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 on his 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. And I mean, he 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 that 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.

Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well and move on. 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.

 
SUNNAH (PRACTISES OF MUHAMMAD SAW)

WHEN DESCENDING
-------------------

It is mentioned in Mirqaat that this when one is ascending the stairs of his house or Masjid, then he should begin with his right foot and say Allahu Akbar, even though it is only one stair. At the time of descending, begin with the left leg and recite 'Subhaanallah' although it is only a small decline.

There is hope that one will recieve the reward of practising on a Sunnah. Mulla Ali Qari RA has mentioned the wisdom in saying at the time of ascension, that although apperently we are going higher but O Allah! we are not high. Highness and greatness are only for you. While descending, a person because we are low and O Allah! You are free from lowness.

NEWS

The heavy fighting between Russian and Georgian forces appears to have ended after the two sides agreed to an EU-backed ceasefire plan.

A bomb explosion in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli has killed at least 11 people and left 37 others injured, according to security officials. The blast hit a military bus in central Nour Square early today. The majority of the dead were reported to be Lebanese soldiers.

President Thabo Mbeki will leave Zimbabwe today as rumour spread that the power sharing talks have collapsed. Mbeki has however cleared the misconceptions saying the talks continues.

The Gauteng provincial government has denied removing refugees from temporary shelters ahead of time. Spokesman Thabo Masebe says there are no police breaking down the shelters.

South African consumers are in for another power price increase shock. The downgrading of Eskom's credit rating by Moody's rating agency yesterday now means a power price increase could be on the cards.

HEALTH TIPs
If you are constipated at any time, make sure that you treat it. The simplest treatment is that you should not eat any bread. Instead, eat some soup that has been prepared with meat fat. If this does not work, you will have to obtain some medication.

A THOUGHT

ALLAH
-------

To think of Allah is to cover the palate of the soul with sugar; to mention his name is to cover the sword of the tongue with jewels.

Scent without mention of His name is but colour; fame without mention of His name is downright disgrace. He is a Lord beside whose being all that has existence is the essence of lowness.

Since His being is higher than all we know of, how then can we describe it?

~ FARIDUDEEN ATTAR ~
