Sometimes we think that things will be alright. Sometimes they think we are doing fine, when deep down, you are going through a tough time/task. I've come to expect things not to workout as expected especially when the item in question is money.
Almost every promise involving money is jinxed; this is when atm(another terrible mistake) queues are longest, and most commonly the U.C.(unavoidable circumstances) occur.
an anecdote here; sometimes back when i completed high school, i had an opportunity to be a military officer, entering as a cadet, a very lucrative post in a third world setting. I passed the necessary test; height, weight etc. The problem came about with my ID. Despite having applied for it 6 months earlier, i still did not posses the important piece. I had a facilitator in the military top ranks who was doing my applications, because of this i manage to trace my ID application and to my astonishment, the files had not moved a single step in six months. i ha to travel to my home district, a border town, and do myself a favour carring the application files to all the stages and getting letters from each office along the way to explain my actions to the superior office. Finally i was able with the help of staff and my connection, to deliver the files to NHIF building, HQs for IDs. I also was lucky to be given a day's extension for my cadet application deadline. God forbid that the following will not happen to any other person. .......... THE MACHINES BROKE DOWN AND WERE TO BE FIXED IN 4 DAYS........
sO I'VE COME TO GET USED TO THIS MISFORTUNES, INFACT I DONT EXPECT ANYTHING GOOD TO GO AS PLANED AND THAT MAKES NE CONFIDENT espeacy when it goes as expected, bad, anyway if it goes well, then thats a plus. Therfore dont be to ancious for that deal, prepare for the worst.
