I believe none of these people expected the accidents to happen. That’s why they are called accidents. Can we prevent accidents from happening? Can we minimise the chances of accidents happening to us?

Yes, we can! Sounds like President Obama!

I believe we will fall victim to accidents for some of the reasons below,

1) Not enough rest, we tend to over work or over play till we are exhausted.

2) Not paying attention to what is happening now. Our mind drifts away when we should be concentrating on the present task, like crossing the zebra crossing.

3) Too impatient, too impulsive or rash in our decision making. Jumping across a drain when we should have walked further and walk safely over a pavement.

4) Failing eye sight as we age and not getting a pair of glasses due to shyness or vainty reasons.

5) Still think we are young, energetic and flexible when we have not exercised for the past 10 years!

There are many more reasons but I rather cap it as it is getting rather late now…

My solution is to do the opposite of the above 5 points and you will be less prone to accidents.

Don’t agree with me, then you better buy an accident insurance policy from me, haha…
