“An optimist says the glass is half full, a pessimist says the glass is half empty, an opportunist picks up the glass and drinks the contents while the other two argue over it.”
I have always felt I was the opportunist. Every situation that I have ran into, I have always found the best route/advantage to try to handle the problem. For starters… I’m a great bullshiter. I have been able to talk myself out of many situations. Being a great BS’er has its own problems, but we’ll get to that a different time.
When I asked for my divorce… I already had a plan set that would put me in the best possible position to be able to ask for it. When I quit my job at Marsh Supermarkets, I already had a plan unfolding for income that would help me til I found another job.
Now… I’m not saying this doesn’t always come back and bite me in the ass. Life is full of failures… but those failures have made my life. Failures shouldn’t be looked at as a negative event in your life… but rather as a positive look. Because of those failures in life, you are where you are at today… and that, alone, is a blessing.
To Be Continued…
