My view of life is colored by humor and looking at the best in any situation. - Michael J. Fox

We tend to twist and turn problems around until they even start to grow.

Here's how I prefer to deal with failure: skip and learn. Today's morning I broke my GoPro camera in a very unintelligent way. That's been a quite expensive mistake, and obviously I wasn't very happy about it.

Still, since I can't change the situation - turning back time and acting in a different way - I need to forget about it. The only thing I may do now is... think about buying a new one :-)

So here's my "Shooooot, I broke the GoPro clip". Guess how I recorded it!

Shit happens!

Now here's how my dad would comment the incident if he knew about it:

Usually mistakes are expensive or hurt or both. That's how we learn to not repeat them.

Dad always puts things in a nutshell :-)

Nobody got injured, but the new acquisition of a GoPro will cost me at least $360 dollars. If I opt for the just released new model - the GoPro Hero 6 black - It'd be even $490 dollars.

Few important things in life happen without any cost.

Buying new toys isn't actually such a big deal :-)

If I really decided to buy the new release, the negative experience would even turn into a lucky strike.

They say that with the GoPro Hero 6 they were able to elminate the noise problems the previously model was facing. Do you remember that when I did my vlogs there was always swoosh in the back? Killing the noise would be an excellent reason to opt for the newer release. I'll defininitely check that out later and keep you posted about my decision!

Now I'm still wondering what I need to do in order to break my iPhone 5. It has fallen on the floor uncountable times, but it seems to be immortal. Any recommendations? :-)

By the way: every time you find humor in a complicated situation, you win.

Have a great day, positive people!
