That's the way I look at things - if you focus on the worst case scenario and it happens, you've lived it twice. It sounds like Pollyanna-ish tripe but I'm telling you - it works for me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In every circumstance, all my life, my mind shows me the possible bad outcome: someone walks down steps, and before I can do anything to head the image off, I see a fall, a catastrophe.
You're going to go through tough times - that's life. But I say, 'Nothing happens to you, it happens for you.' See the positive in negative events.
Things could be worse. You remember that, and you go on with your life.
When things happen to you in the worst way, you live with it, you go over it, you think, 'What else could I have done?'
As far as I know, you only get one shot at this life. It only goes round once and time is precious. When I'm not working, you'd better spend that time with someone important.
You only live twice. Once when you are born and once when you look death in the face.
Things happen every day. You can't spend your whole life trying to guard against something happening. If you do that, in my opinion, you've wasted your life.
Life unravels the way it does, and it has an effect on you, but you have to take responsibility for dealing with it.
I don't believe in pitfalls. I believe in taking risks and not doing the same thing twice.
Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.
