The Second Chance

I've just finished reading one of Paulo Coelho's books, Like The Flowing River. The book contains lots of stories, simple, short yet meaningful. One really is a big fan his works.

One of the story explain me about the second chance. People always say that you can never get a second chance. If you don't seize the moment than you've missed it. But they don't realize that life always give us second chance, we just have to be aware of it. The only thing that makes us believe there is no such thing as second chance is because we always close our eyes to our surroundings when we thought we already lose the first chance. We act as if the world is ended and its impossible for us to turn back the time.

Try to think this way, if chances in life is like bus schedule, then when one missed the first bus all one have to do is wait. And during that waiting periode, instead of regretting and cursing, one can learn and reflect, why did one miss the first bus? What should one do so that it wont happen again in the future? Remember there will always be the second trip, even though its the last trip for today, there's always tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Life always gives us a second chance.

cheers.
