Looking Back:
I'm sure everyone has had an experience or two with 'beginner's luck", where someone doing something for the first time does exceptionally well, sometimes even better than the more experienced people. It's great for a beginner, unless they're then asked to do it again, which doesn't always turn out quite so well. However, it can be extremely annoying when you're the experienced person and someone else is having a run of beginner's luck. There isn't much that's more annoying than having a complete novice do as good or even better at something than you. Often beginner's luck is just that, luck, and once it wears off that's it. But once in a while you get a person who is just a natural. Anyway, in this particular case, I think we can safely say that Brendan isn't all that lucky, May was just extremely unlucky. |
