In A Pickle.

Yesterday, I attempted to make a chocolate cake from scratch. As ingredient after ingredient went into the mixer, it looked as though everything was going as planned, better actually. I soon realized that this was not the  case. Normally, you'd think that a cake would be nice and risen after this 3o minute bake time, needless to say, mine remained flat. All of a sudden I related this flat cake to every day life. A promise that doesn't go through. A job interview with no call back. If a cake doesn't rise, you wouldn't give up, throw it out, and admit defeat without a second try. Same in life. If things don't work out in whatever your trying to accomplish, chances are the next time you try again, your interview will go smoother, your pitch will be more persuasive, or your chocolate cake from scratch might raise to perfect heights.
