Saving the best for last

While having dinner last night I noticed how I would instinctively save the best thing on my plate for last. Light bulb moment: started wondering if life does that to you too. It serves all the crap in the beginning only to serve the best last. You might think im just being highly optimistic, but when I look back at life- it’s only gotten better!

Take for example the guys I’ve dated, I would be really embarrassed to be seen with some of them in public now! But they only got better…the last one was a bomb, a nuclear bomb!

The days of the week also work on the same analogy, Mondays being the worst…but it only gets better. Come weekend and voila you are partying!

Life is like a 3 course meal – a starter to work you up, main course to satisfy you hunger and the dessert always to be served last! That’s no co-incidence – the best things in life are always to be had or experienced after you’ve gone through the not so great experiences. So every time life throws shit at you, know that it’s only going to get better and like everything else…this too shall pass!

gud way to look at things. but sometimes (and i'm talking purely in terms of food) the dessert can spoil the taste in your mouth. i'm sure life is capable of doing tht too :)

Uhmmm...sometimes starter is more delectable than the dessert...sometimes it is the main course whose taste lingers on for a while...na?

Carrying your metaphor forward, wouldn't what life serves at the end be either a honking great bill to pay (if you eat out), or the prospect of dirty dishes (should you be reduced to eating at home)? Just a thought... :-)

@ ajit... i like the way u think, striving real hard to make every single experience look nasty! wel two different sides of the coin. looking at the glass half empty while for me its half full!
