We seldom really rely on chance in our everyday life - for the most part, we decide ourselves how our day will be. That's what writer Stephen Covey calls the 90/10 principle, and he shows how it works using an obvious example.
The thing is, we can't control only 10 of events in our lives. We can't prevent a device from breaking or a flight from being delayed. However, we can control our own reaction to such things.
The other 90 of events are the result of our reactions - to put it simply, what we do when we're stressed out.

So observe your mental processes then alter them accordingly. Let's say there are 1000 things that annoy you..then why not learn a technique to not get annoyed as opposed to trying to alter the annoying things?
Sounds a bit like Buddhism to me. * +

I do not know what Budhhism says in this regard, but obviously it is about controlling your mental/emotional/spoken/physical reactions.
Not getting annoyed at all needs lots of struggle, and might not be easy to everyone. * +
