Example: Theoretically, not keeping your experimental items properly in a clean laboratory and causing contamination is a big boo-boo. Fleming forgot to keep his petri dish of Staphylococcus plate culture and that allowed contamination. The next day, he found blue-green mould of inhibited bacterial growth which repressed the growth of bacteria and it was Penicillium! Fleming did the wrong thing at the "theoretically" wrong time but it turns out to be an important scientific discovery!

So this wrong thing (left petri dish out) was done at the appropriate time (it was when the petric dish had Staphylococcus and not some other cultures which could not have led to growth of penicillium) or that it was actually a right thing (discovery of penicillin) done at the wrong time (shouldnt have left the laboratory without storing the petric dish properly)?

I hope you got my drift.

What I'm trying to convey is that timings are very important and subjective to the current circumstances. Well sometimes a Presidential candidate may not be the best speaker or draw up the best policies but they provided people novel ideas, gave new hope to the people and that people just want a change from the norm. So the winner may not be the Best Man out there but he is definitely available at the Best Time or Right time.

At other times, one might get unlucky. We jump into conclusions pre-maturely, have judgements made too soon or catalyse processes that are meant to work in seqeunce. Conversely, we force things to slow down, ponder and mull over too many choices, rationalized every small aspect of the situation. These may result in unpleasant consequences but i believe every little single piece of lesson we learn from these actions at flawed timings, either too early or too late, would become part and parcel of the "wiser" person we are now.

Of course, some of us never seem to get out of this vicious cycle of bad timings yet these will still serve as milestones or a stepping stone to whatever that lies ahead of us. No one action, deed or conversation is wasted. Ripple effect or butterfly effect. Someone, something, somewhere will definitely feel the repercussions of what you've done someday. Maybe this is why some of us do believe in cause and effect or commonly known as "karma".

So back to the Presidential candidate and the Fleming's discovery examples. From them, I would think that it is not about the universal definition of what is right or wrong at what is deemed right or wrong time. Instead, it is being the best available option or outcome when the situation calls for it. In that way, it will be the right thing at the right time.

Somehow these recent years, i've been caught up with these imperfect timings. I would like to call them my beautiful mistakes. If given a choice, i'd rather be the best person and you be the best person at that specific time, right beside me. Then perhaps we would be the fresh breathe of air for each other at the most appropriate or best time of our lives. On hindsight (and much optimism), they could be right events at right times if i've grown stonger or more experienced out of them. So given a choice right now, i'd would like to try it again. Would you?

Hope is what keeps me breathing.
