law of averages

One can never go against the law of averages. You shoot some baskets. You miss some baskets. The number of times that you missed the MRT will always even out with the number of times you caught it. In the end, we could only have as much bad days as the good ones. But you can never help feeling that sometimes everything in the world is going against you and all your plans. This is where your friends come in. They always somehow manage to give light to all your problems, no matter how heavy or light. They explain to you that there is something such as the law of averages. That you can never go against the percentage. That you just have to go with the flow and keep on shooting the basketball. Because it will all even out. And even if it does, no regrets would come out of it because you knew that you shot the ball with no hesitation. And that is what life is all about. It's all about shooting the ball and being happy that you did it. Everyday. Every step will lead you to your final goal. Every breathe. Every conversation. Every cup of coffee. So take that ride to the place that you've been meaning to go to. Take that exam. Ask your girl out. Do what you want to do. Do not be afraid. Just remember the law of averages and how it all evens out.
