Whenever I wear a white shirt—freshly cleaned, ironed, and crisp—looking sharp…. Spaghetti happens.
When I wear such, I (for some reason) always end up having Spaghetti for lunch, and no mater how careful I am, I ALWAYS will spill some on it, thus getting the nice “Red Dalmatian” effect—Guaranteed!
So it is with life. We’re ready, we’re prepared, we have a great plan…. then… “Spaghetti” happens—stuff that we didn’t want or anticipate or even that makes a mess comes our way, no matter how careful we are.
The key isn’t to “Stop Spaghetti”, you can’t—I’ve proven that. The key is to expect it, to not be (overly) bothered by it and HAVE A PLAN TO CLEAN YOUR SHIRT (or even a new shirt) ready.
In planning parlance… have a Plan B. It isn’t prevention, but rather (your) response that is the key to a happy and productive life.
Obviously, learn to do all you can to prevent, but after you’ve done all you can….Spaghetti (still) happens, so don’t let it kill your day… move quickly to Plan B and don’t worry.
Problem is, I still love Italian food….Here’s to lasagna
