“Why does it always happen that just when I begin to feel life simply couldn't get any better, fate drops a disaster into my path to prove me right?”

“No matter how well you plan. Disasters are a fact of life. Just accept it. Yes, you can and should plan carefully, but you are dealing with humans and they all have their own lives, plans, and needs. There’s no telling what can happen when you gather a group of them together. The important thing to remember is when disaster strikes you must face it with aplomb.”
