Literally Breaking News: Crashed My GoPro!!! Here's Why I'm Still Smiling :-)

My view of life is colored by humor and looking at the best in any situation. - Michael J. Fox

We tend to twist and turn problems around until they even start to grow.

Here's how I prefer to deal with failure: skip and learn. Today's morning I broke my GoPro camera in a very unintelligent way. That's been a quite expensive mistake, and obviously I wasn't very happy about it.

Still, since I can't change the situation - turning back time and acting in a different way - I need to forget about it. The only thing I may do now is... think about buying a new one :-)

So here's my "Shooooot, I broke the GoPro clip". Guess how I recorded it!

Shit happens!

Now here's how my dad would comment the incident if he knew about it:

Usually mistakes are expensive or hurt or both. That's how we learn to not repeat them.

Dad always puts things in a nutshell :-)

Nobody got injured, but the new acquisition of a GoPro will cost me at least $360 dollars. If I opt for the just released new model - the GoPro Hero 6 black - It'd be even $490 dollars.

Few important things in life happen without any cost.

Buying new toys isn't actually such a big deal :-)

If I really decided to buy the new release, the negative experience would even turn into a lucky strike.

They say that with the GoPro Hero 6 they were able to elminate the noise problems the previously model was facing. Do you remember that when I did my vlogs there was always swoosh in the back? Killing the noise would be an excellent reason to opt for the newer release. I'll defininitely check that out later and keep you posted about my decision!

Now I'm still wondering what I need to do in order to break my iPhone 5. It has fallen on the floor uncountable times, but it seems to be immortal. Any recommendations? :-)

By the way: every time you find humor in a complicated situation, you win.

Have a great day, positive people!

Zunächst einmal: Herzliches Beileid!
Mein Trost in derartigen Momenten: Werde ich mich in einem Jahr immer noch darüber ärgern? Falls nein, ist alles gut.

Now I'm still wondering what I need to do in order to break my iPhone 5. It has fallen on the floor uncountable times, but it seems to be immortal. Any recommendations? :-)

Mein Tipp: Gehe an die Stelle, wo du dir dein Knie verletzt hast und werfe das Handy dort hin. Falls es dann kaputt geht, hast du einen negativen Kraftort entdeckt.

Ansonsten: Genieße dein sonniges Inselleben, denn hier in München ist es immer noch grau und feucht. Aber wenigstens soll morgen mal die Sonne scheinen.

Hahaha, Du bist einfach großartig! Ich sollte alles dorthin bringen, was ich loswerden möchte. Es ist ein sehr dunkler Ort...:-D

Feucht ist es hier auch - aber das liegt per se an der Meerbrise. Mehr Sorgen bereitet mir gerade eher der Blick in Richtung Zermatt & Co.: Schneechaos, Lavinengefahr, von der Außenwelt abgeschottete Orte. Fahre in einem Monat dorthin zum Skifahren... Also zumindest war das bis dato der Plan :-)

Genieß die Sonne morgen!! Sammle einfach die Strahlen ein und pack sie dann an trüberen Tagen wieder aus.

Ich musste oben noch das Wort "kaputt" ergänzen. Jetzt stimmt der Satz.

That's the only true attitude, I guess! I was tutoring a student that day when I got into the accident and I found a new positive song for kids This tune couldn't get out of my mind and later the same day after the fall I did exactly as the video advised( brush brush, laugh it off) and it actually helped :)
And you definitely should buy the latest model, it should be much better

Ouuuu! That's one of these catchy songs that won't ever get out of my head, haha!
So sweet :-)
Ha ha and Ho Ho Ho - Love it!
Thank youuuuuu :-*

Great positive post.
"Now I'm still wondering what I need to do in order to break my iPhone 5".
Haha. You do not need to break it, you can forget or lose your iPhone by "accident".

Haha, I tried that a couple of times!!
But then people are like: "Hey, is this your phone here on the table?"
🙄🙄🙄😅
No chance!

Thanks for the positive feedback :-)
