I am a very positive person, so would never think prepare myself for the worst. I would think that out of this bad experience I am learning and something better is about to happen.

Answer 12

Well I think I'm well balanced when it comes to this type of think and I try to prepare for all eventualities. But guess what I never can as the unexpected nearly always happens.

Take for example after last year dealing with a car that was causing grief we had it repaired and sold it on in good condition only to find our new car has done nothing but give us grief too. And this after paying to have it checked over before parting with my money and taking all the necessary precaution and advice before buying.

So how can you prepare for this eventuality? You can't you see it's life and in life the unforeseen things happens.

So you have to learn to philisophical otherwise you end up be paranoid about every little thing.
