Once bitten.. twice lucky

Do you believe in luck? I do. And I completely believe that for something to happen favorably, you need the luck. So whats fashioned me to become Lady luck savvy? My whole life! I have realized that for me most things aren't as straightforward as it is for many others. Most things that matter in my life require that second stab at it.

College admissions? - HCE was the second college I saw and stuck to... (Thankfully I didnt have to repeat my Boards or my entrance exams!!)

GRE - I had to give it twice to get my dream score

Admissions - I had to apply TWICE. One year I didnt get great results - I applied too high. The second year, I had to send in the packets TWICE (coz SpeedPost lost my package) - that means two sets of recos, two sets of application forms, two of everything and TWICE the freaking headache as well!

I could also relate a whole bunch of other stuff that fit right into my 'twice is nice' label, including some very important life decisions, but I am not going into that. :)

I have done a looot to be here.. And now jobhunting sometimes drives me to WHY do I want to be here? I sure hope I get that one job that will validate everything I have been through. Twice has been lucky... Fingers crossed.

So far there's never been after 2. So I guess first time unlucky :D

Don't u think sometimes it could be only ur psych that makes u think it u are or were going to be unlucky and the second time ur going to be....

May be it turns out that the first time u don't give ur full assuming it might go wrong.... and second time u have the confidence that it will be lucky....

Ok.. How does SpeedPost losing my package count as an assumption!?!? Why wud I set myself up for failure? I never do! Its always my best effort.. Just believe it.. Second time lucky (hopefully it doesnt take more than 2 attempts at anything!! :D)
