I can give another example..

Your favorite movie hero's movie gets delayed. You dont have a say in that(you cant control that).

> The 90/10 Principle
> by Stephen Covey

> Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your
> life.
>
> What is the 90/10 Principle?
> 10% of life is made up of what happens to you.
> 90% of life is decided by how you react.
> What does this mean?
> We really have no control over 10% of what happens
> to us.
> We cannot stop the car from breaking down.
> The plane will be late arriving, which throws our
> whole schedule off.
> A driver may cut us off in traffic.
> We have no control over this 10%.
> The other 90% is different.
> You determine the other 90%.
> How? By your reaction.
>
> You cannot control a red light, but you can control
> your reaction.
> Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you
> react.
> Let's use an example.
>
> You are eating breakfast with your family.
> Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your
> business shirt.
> You have no control over what just what happened.
> What happens when the next will be determined by how
> you react.
> You curse.
> You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup
> over.
> She breaks down in tears.
> After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and
> criticize her for
> placing the cup too close to the edge of the table.
> A short verbal battle follows.
> You storm upstairs and change your shirt.
> Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too
> busy
> crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school.
>
> She misses the bus.
> Your spouse must leave immediately for work.
> You rush to the car and drive your daughter to
> school.
> Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in
> a 30 mph speed limit.
> After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic
> fine away, you arrive at
> school.
> Your daughter runs into the building without saying
> goodbye.
> After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you
> find you forgot your
> briefcase.
> Your day has started terribly.
> As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse.
> You look forward to coming home, When you arrive
> home, you find
> a small wedge in your relationship with your spouse
> and daughter.
> Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning.
>
> Why did you have a bad day?
> A) Did the coffee cause it?
> B) Did your daughter cause it?
> C) Did the policeman cause it?
> D) Did you cause it?
> The answer is D.
> You had no control over what happened with the
> coffee.
> How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused
> your bad day.
> Here is what could have and should have happened.
>
> Coffee splashes over you.
> Your daughter is about to cry.
> You gently say, "It's ok honey, you just need, to be
> more careful next
> time."
> Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs.
> After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase,
> you come back down in time to look through the
> window and see your
> child getting on the bus.
> She turns and waves.
> You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the
> staff.
> Your boss comments on how good the day you are
> having.
> Notice the difference?
> Two different scenarios.
> Both started the same.
> Both ended different.
> Why? Because of how you REACTED.
>
> You really do not have any control over 10% of what
> happens.
> The other 90% was determined by your reaction.
> Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle.
> If someone says something negative about you, don't
> be a sponge.
> Let the attack roll off like water on glass.
> You don't have to let the negative comment affect
> you!
> React properly and it will not ruin your day.
> A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend,
> being fired, getting
> stressed out etc.
>
> How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic?
>
> Do you lose your temper?
> Pound on the steering wheel?
> A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off!
> Do you curse?
> Does your blood pressure skyrocket?
> Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive
> ten seconds later at
> work?
>
> Why let the cars ruin your drive?
> Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about
> it.
> You are told you lost your job.
> Why lose sleep and get irritated?
> It will work out.
> Use your worrying energy and time into finding
> another job.
>
> The plane is late; it is going to mangle your
> schedule for the day.
> Why take out your frustration on the flight
> attendant?
> She has no control over what is going on.
> Use your time to study, get to know the other
> passenger.
> Why get stressed out?
> It will just make things worse.
>
> Now you know the 90-10 principle.
> Apply it and you will be amazed at the results.
> You will lose nothing if you try it.
> The 90-10 principle is incredible.
> Very few know and apply this principle.
> The result?

> stress, trials,
> problems and heartache.

> relationships.

> is not enjoyed to the
> fullest.

> discouraged.
> You can be different!
