Explanation

Adolfo, a friend from Key West, FL, wrote to me..."gracias mr. marco. i would like to know what this means? 'Things Turn Out Best for the People Who Makethe Best Out of the Way Things Turn Out To' what are you trying to say?"


This was my reply...

Lets say you get lost on the road, then you get aflat, your cell phone is not working, starts to rain, you have no spare tire, and it is getting dark. after a few minutes, which seem to be an eternity to you, a truck driver stops and gives you a ride to get your tire fixed. On the way to the nearest town you realized the car that was in front of you, while you were driving before your flat, had rolled over and the emergency unit is there trying to save that person's life trapped in the car. You could see the skid marks on the road that the car had spun before rolling over on the side shoulder. You also notice another car onthe opposite side crushed into a median tree. That car had been coming on the opposite road. You hear the radio informing of the accident being started by the opposite car's driver. The driver had fell asleep and got off the road. It was headed to the car just infront of you (if you were still driving then) but the car tried to scape the hit and lost control of the car, just as she jerked, it so it would not get hit. That would have meant that you were the target then. By this, the driver had awaken and pressed the breaks also loosing control and sliding back to the median finally hitting a tree. Both drivers were lucky to survive such tragedy.

You get to the nearest town, the truck driver leaves you there. You still have no reception, and the tire place has been closed already. You have no choice but to look for a place to stay the night. As you are walking clueless, 3 guyz corner you and steal your wallet. Before they left you alone, they had given you a good beat. Someone was passing by and noticed you were weak and hurt. This person offers to help you. They carry you to their house, and there, they feed you and clean your wounds.

The next morning, you get your tire fixed, but have no way of paying the mechanic. The mechanic does not want to give you the tire unless you pay him. You then remember you left your debit card in the glovebox of your car. The mechanic sends someone with you to see about your car. When you get there, your car had been broken in. The glass of the passanger window was everywhere. They had stolen your cd player. To your surprise, the thieves did not bother to look inthe glove box becuase your debit card was still there. Then you place the tire back. Your car starts fine, and you go to the town and pay the mechanic. As you were leaving, you noticed the guy you least liked was passing by. He recognizes you and stops to ask if you were ok. He offered to follow you till you got home safe since it was on his way. You get home safe.

At night, before going to sleep, you start to think about the series of events that had just passed. You can take that as the worse experience ever in your life, right? at the same time, you can take another look and realize how blessed you are for still being alive, and not to mention that the person you least expect to helped you, was there for you.

Thus, depending on how YOU look at things that happen in your life, that is how things will turn out to. If you look at it in agood positive way...you will see that experience thatway as well. I truly believe that I have the ability to turn every situation to its best, can you?
