HOW TO EXPLAIN CAR TROUBLE

Covering Up Your Mistakes

This video is so hilarious and relatable because I have definitely been in a situation where I had car trouble and didn’t know how to explain it to my husband. I think the car is suppose to run smoothly for years, I mean, why should I have to worry about maintenance? Shouldn’t the car have automatic repair features?

I believe this video needs to be entered into this contest because of the quality and sound. I really love how the husband is looking at her like... What are you really talking about? Do you even know what you did to the car? I guess not.

We all have our own unique way of explaining ourselves, even if it means covering up our faults. The best way to avoid confusion is to be honest and considerate of someone else’s feelings.

Humor is a very good personality trait to have! We need to find the beauty in our daily flaws. Laughing keeps us young, beautiful and stress free because we’re not worrying about the problem we’re thinking about the solution which is greater.

Remembering that we’re human and things are not going to always be perfect because we’re not perfect. I mean, think about how many times you’ve told yourself... today is going to be a great day! that was the plan until someone or something ruined your day.

That’s called life! So what are you going to do about it? Well, you can either continue to have a bad day or change your mood and have a great day! I always find the good in a bad situation. The reason is, life teaches you something different everyday, and how can you make positive changes without tough situations or challenges?

In order to be a better you, the key is to accept the flaws break the barriers and overcome every obstacle you’re faced with. When you’re ready to challenge yourself you can laugh at anything. There's no need to let a bad situation control your life because we all have so much to be grateful for even when these unexpected things happen.

Think about all the times you were put in a situation that caused aggravation or hurt... sometimes you're thankful that things aren't as bad as they could have been. If your car broke down but it didn't rain, you would be thankful for that. Imagine running out of gas right at the gas station which has happened to me, i was so relieved that i wasn't alone in the middle of the road.

Our challenges can be very stressful and annoying but we always get through them no matter how hard it may seem. We don't plan for these circumstances and sure don't have a book that tells us what we're going to face day to day, so all we can do is expect the unexpected and be prepared to handle what comes our way.

The beautiful thing about life's obstacles is that we are built for all of them. We are strong and courageous when we're facing difficult times. We've proven it time and time again. Remember when your friend or family said to you, "how are you going to do that" and you told them, "easy... I've done it before" well, that was that confident and courageous person you are.

The same way we feel incapable, we always get reminded that nothing is impossible. You are your biggest believer! if we focus more on our strengths instead of our weakness we're moving in the right direction. The situation in this video is a perfect example of strength because she used humor to turn an unexpected outcome to change the mood of her partner.

Can you imagine how our life would be if we had no humor? I don't want to even think that hard about it because i don't believe life would be like a box of chocolates. My love for people is enough to say that I'm forever grateful to be humorous! another thing I absolutely love about this video is the creativeness she put into it.

She was wearing casual clothes and was on time with her gestures. She made the video believable and her husband also played the part well! this was the video that immediately caught my attention. We all have that one great story to tell about what happened to us before work or after work, and always find a way to make it interesting.
