Enjoyed watching this. The tail end of it reminded me of something in Kanye West's book Thank You and You're Welcome in it he writes 'Life is 5% what happens and 95% how you react.' I try to take that into account when planning and making decisions that things will likely go wrong so I will try my best to have at least one backup. Hopefully that backup will never be needed, but as you say "life isn't fair" and by having a backup it makes reacting a lot easier.
