Does Lightning Strike Twice?

Does Lightning Strike Twice?

Is this a MYTH or not?  Does Lightning Strike Twice? Unfortunately, many of us still get succumbed to the original adage that Lightning Strikes Once.  But man, times are damn tougher than what even our forefathers have forewarned us.  Who would have thought that life will be easier [and cozier] after the world war, after the holocaust, after the Korean War or even after the Kuwait and Iraq Wars?  Not until Uncle Sam bamboozled Saddam Hussein !!!

Enough of history though.  I can volunteer myself.  Did lightning strike me more than once?  Absolutely.  During that global recession which hit hard all markets, I ended up jobless twice.  When the Asian Financial Crisis caused all the Asian economies to go down the drain, I did end up in the drain as well.  And as a result of the domino effect of those cataclysmic events, even my credit card bills ballooned to levels way beyond my capacity such that I had to negotiate with my banker.  Indeed, those were hard times.

At the workplace, long time ago, workers taught that the bosses may reprimand them maybe once in years but hey, if you are that mediocre at work, if you need to be reprimanded twice, you will bear the brunt of all the consequences.  But hey, the good thing is that lightning may NOT happen for the third or fourth time because on your third infraction, you can bet you will be due for a formal HR disciplinary action or worst, do expect to receive that dreaded PINK SLIP. 

Let's swing over to our relationships with our spouse/loved one or our immediate family. Those family feuds do happen.  Those couple quarrels happen.  Till things worsen and people mutually decide to part ways.  Then the ugly head surfaces.  Then we all end up in that vicious cycle where tiffs lead to quarrels till it worsens till no amount of FIX is feasible anymore.

So what's our FIX?  Once you get hit by that lightning, treat it as the FINAL ALARM.  When a breakup happens followed by that 'hard earned' reconciliation, DON'T ever wait for the last straw that will hit the camel's back.  These days, you must NOT even wait for that lightning to hit you even for the first time because for all you know, you'll be unable to pick up tje pieces again once lightning strikes twice📗📕📘
