Benefit finder

If someone came to the restaurant where you were sitting with hundreds of guests and shot you in the arm. What would you think? Are you unlucky because there were hundreds of other people who did not get injured and why just you were shooten? or are you lucky because the bullet did not hit your head or heart?

Before I visited Casino Cosmopol Stockholm with some friends I gave myself permission to lose 4000 sek. I quit the game efter a loss of 2000 sek. Gladly I told my friends that I "I have won 2000 sek. As I have a permitted loss of 4000 sek and an actual loss of 2000 sek."

To have humor, to be a benefit finder, to be an optimist, that's the easy way to a happier life, that's the happy way to an easier life. :-)
