Sometimes we fail and we don’t know whether to laugh or cry. It seems our fate loves to play tricks on us. Because how else can the stories from our list be explained?

Bright Side put together some real stories from internet users whose failures turned out to actually be luck.

Dear readers, we are interested in you! Tell us about yourself. Maybe you volunteer in a retirement home, or used to live in Bangladesh, or work in a Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris. We’d love to hear all your stories, so please share them with us.
