Some days everything just seems to go your way. Traffic seems to clear a path for you on the way to work; your boss takes the day off; you win the office pool. And you’re all the happier because each new bit of luck comes as a pleasant surprise. Of course, there’s another side to the unexpected as well. All it takes is a run in your stocking or a stain on your favourite shirt to bring you right back to reality. Good or bad, it’s the little surprises that keep life interesting.
You go to the local bakery and buy a jelly doughnut. (You know, the kind without the hole but with jam stuffing inside) However, when you get home and take a bite, you discover it’s missing one essential ingredient — the jelly inside!
How do you react to this bit of bad luck?
Take the defective doughnut back to the shop and get a new one.
Say to yourself, "These things happen" and eat the empty doughnut as it is.
Eat something else.
Try filling the empty doughnut with something like maple syrup or jam to make it taste better.
