Recent events have taught me a lesson. Lucky number is number two. Not one nor three, but two.
It seems easy but it is actually a really hard number to get. How does one get neither too far nor not far enough from where one is supposed to be aiming at? (Especially when one does not really know there where he or she is trying to go). Well, I am telling you: it is impossible to know. Sometimes one gets lucky and achieves it. Most of times, one doesn't.
But luck is not enough. No, it is not. I am starting to learn what else it is that one needs in order to get to perfection.
First of all, good friends are necessary. I mean friends, or family, who tell you things for what they are, who try and help you, who look at the empty half of the bottle when you feel optimistic and tell you everything is going to be all right when you feel blue and down.
Secondly, one needs to persevere. What I mean is that even if it is great to live the present, the "here and now", it is even wiser to realize as soon as possible that each one of use will probably stick around for a couple or five decades more, and in order to do it happily, we all need to develop the "resistance" mode and never cease trying. Even if we hit a one, a three or a four, we still have time to one day get to number two. And odds are that in our experiences hitting the rest of the numbers up to hundred we will get to number two being better humans, whatever that means.
Finally, I have learned that one should not judge another person just influenced by first impressions, one needs to give the other always a second chance if he or she disappoints you, but only two chances, not three, three are way too many, by number three you can be sure you have already missed other three ones without even noticing, and, worse than that, you will forgive forever, meaning not to, angry about it, but helpless against the person that is constantly letting you down.
So, basically, two by means of two: hitting the right spot.
But if I am wrong, please, give me one as well.
