YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET A SECOND CHANCE
I believe that we all deserve a second chance. We are not a perfect creation and as such, every now and then, we will err. This does not mean we are a lost course or that we are beyond redemption. It only means that we are human. This morning, on my way to work, I encountered a minor accident and almost immediately, something hit me: the fact that we don't always get a second chance. A teenage girl was carrying a create of eggs on her head, while walking along the pedestrian lane, she tripped and fell. The entire create of eggs came crushing to the ground and as you would guess, there was nothing left to recover. In just a second, the young girl lost everything she had been working so hard to protect.
Come to think about it, if it was a basket of fruits or a bowl of vegetables, she probably would have been able to recover it all without much difficulty. The truth is, we only get one shot at somethings in life. It's just like life itself, you only get to live once.
When we were kids, we used pencils to take notes, pencils that came with erasers so that we could cancel and re-write our mistakes. But as we grew up, we were thought to write with pens, pens that came without erasers. As this point, if you made a mistake with a pen, you could only cross it out and continue writing. But the lesson here is, the mistake never went away, unlike with a pencil. If you didn't want your notes to be messy, then you simply couldn't afford to keep making mistakes. So we learnt to be more careful, more responsible and more matured. Of course, somethings are beyond our control and we can't always foresee certain accidents. But if we are more cautious and responsible, we could definitely prevent a lot of them.

When we are young, we can afford to make some mistakes of course. But as we get older, our time gets shorter, and mistakes more costly. Yes, best to be responsible in life choices...
Exactly, it's like they say, you can never be too careful.
Definitely, we don't always get a second shot at some things in life, and an opportunity we let pass by would not always come to as. So it's our responsibility to know what to do and what not to do in other not to miss these chances or make certain mistakes in life.
Agreed! Everything needs to be weighed before it is taken into account because an unwise decision may cause more harm than the person is prepared for.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
I second that!
All of us get this one every chance of life. And it's sad that most of us waste it in things which don't actually add any value to either our lives or someone else's. We often hear from successful people that we are here to serve a purpose. A purpose worth dying for. Well, a purpose should be the one without completing which, one can't even die. And who knows that purpose is that one very chance sitting right next to you. The problem is we don't realise and give excuses in life. We are okay with wasting our time in watching TV and not working on developing a new skill or another source of income. Taking chances that we get in life often add value to our lives either in a good way or a better way. There's no bad way as such. Because if it's not good, it will give you an experience. An experience worthy of a lifetime.
UPVOTED!
