“Mishaps are like knives that either serve us or cut us as we grasp them by the blade or the handle.” – James Russell Lowell
Mishaps are a daily occurrence in the lives of great men and women like you and I, but like knives that they are, we are either served the goodies that come with them or the pain it originally flows with.
You either make it bleed or bleed for it.
You cannot be both sides of the story, you cannot be the front and the back at the same time. One side has to be seen at every point in time and not the other way round.
Pick your side and stick to what you know; and like the knife, you either are Served or Cut.
Personally, I like to be both at different times because we must be served and then, cut to truly experience the process flow. The pains makes the sweetness more profound and appreciated.
