It means that the real part of Life is making mistakes and learning from them. For example, The guy would have slipped and that would be part of life. you must "learn" from the things you have not yet known about , which is what the quote thinks to be the meaning of life.

it most likely means life is about chances, surprises, and things that are not expected. Like, if someone had told you, "yea the janiter is going to wax the floor", that is expected, which is not what life is. Life is "oh, the janiter just waxed the floor. did you know?" The unexpected things in life are the ones that change your life.

life is taking things unexpectedly. by knowing the man has waxed the floor you know that the danger is ahead and you will not experience the humiliation of falling down. that may sound like a good thing until next time when no one tells you that the floor has been waxed and you fall on your face because you didn't know what to look for because of past mistakes.
just a guess.

Beware!
If you read this, you will die in three hours. This message has been circulating the internet since 1901. In 1975, a little girl named Mimi was biking to school when a greasy old man attacked her and raped her, thus dumping her body into a ditch on the side of the road. As he threw her into the ditch, he chanted the words "Kota Me Laka" 476 times.

I guess finding out how beautiful life is on your own.I'm confused by the waxing part. What does that exacty mean. I thought it meant buffing. Perhaps the floor is wet then it's just saying you fall and trip but you learn to walk. And the falling and tripping is the best part of life.

The experience of living is full of unexpected (and possibly painful) surprises that could have been prevented if you had had all the facts. (The quote's humorous nature implies that this might not be such a bad thing)

I think it means life is not knowing what is going to happen, like if you don't know that the dude waxed the floor you will probably fall

Usually floors are waxed at the end of the day when someplace closes. perhaps it means life is when you know you still have time? Just a guess.
