When An Opportunity Comes, A Bad Luck Goes Along With It

"Good luck is when opportunity meets preparation, while bad luck is when lack of preparation meets reality."

- Eliyahu Goldratt

We feel lucky and blessed when an opportunity knocks on our door. But have you been in a situation where an opportunity is just one grab away but something bad happens? But is there such a term as bad luck? As the adage above says, bad things happen when lack of preparation meets reality. That is certainly my situation currently.

You are all aware that I'm finding ways to increase my YouTube subscribers and watch hours so I could meet all requirements within a year from the time I created my account. Through the Filipina I met on Facebook, I found a group that could help me meet the required watch hours. But that requires a lot of time.

In this group, members can submit their playlists, and each member of each batch needs to watch all submitted videos. That's the tough part in there. Thus, I need another device to comply with such tasks so they could watch my videos too. It's a give-and-take situation.

Just imagine there are 20 members in each batch and each of them can submit 1-hour playlist. That means, you'll get 20 hours watch hours from a certain batch. But that also means you'll need to watch a playlist with 20 watch hours. Technically, that will consume almost a day.

I do have another phone that I could use for this. This phone is usually used when I am watching movies or playing my YT playlist using another account. It somehow helped me increase my watch hours.

Unfortunately, just a few weeks ago, something odd in my phone screen came up. The screen starts to flicker and a section turned black. It is probably an LCD problem or system issue that I need to reboot. But it was too late for me. The screen turned totally dark just this morning when I opened it. Thus, I can't use it anymore.

I regretted not rebooting this phone when it was still quite fine. I could probably have solved the issue when I acted too soon. This is another thing that would cost me a lot if I will bring it to the phone repair shop. If you still remember, this phone underwent several LCD replacements just last year, and here it is again. The total amount I spent on this is already enough to buy a new phone. So I'm not sure if I would spend more dimes on it again. But the photos inside are important too. Such a pain in the ass.

An opportunity came, but bad luck happened too. My only way to do the aforementioned task is to use my main phone. I'm just worried about the consequences if I would play videos for long hours using my phone. However, it's a good way to take a break from grinding online, especially when I'm busy at work. And if there's a will, there is always a way.

My current situation just makes me eager to buy a laptop too soon. I just wished that I could have one before this year ends.

Pardon me for another random one. I was supposed to compose a compilation of all my articles today. But something came up at work too that made me busy.

Thanks for stopping by.
