The young may have their strength but old men are blessed with
wisdom that comes with age. Before you jump out and make a mistake, listen to
what Grandpa has to say.
·
Switch off your portable generator,
allow to cool down, and then refill. Do not refill your generator while still
working.
·
In case of power failure, switch off
all appliances to prevent them from being damaged by power surge when power is
restored.
·
Do not put edible items in similar
containers with harmful items. Children may not notice the difference.
·
Do not leave young children alone in
the car. There was this story of a young boy who released the hand-brake and
almost caused accident when the car started rolling.
·
Fasten your seat-belt before moving
your car. Do not start struggling with seat-belt when the car is already in
motion.
·
Once you remove your phone from the
charger, remove the charger from the socket. By doing that, you conserve energy
and prevent accident.
·
If it has to do with security and
accident prevention, don't just think about it, don't just talk about it, do
something about it.
·
It is dangerous to pick up strange
parcels, notify the police when you come across strange objects in the vicinity.
·
Treat every electricity wire lying on
the ground as "live wire", even when the power is switched off.
Notify the power company immediately.
·
When you are about to cross the road,
double-check each direction before you cross.
·
Do not put total reliance on your
driving mirrors; they sometimes make objects look further away than they really
are. Double-check!
·
The depth of a pothole on a road
cannot be properly ascertained when driving in the rain. Slow down.
·
Headset can be useful, but your ears
can be damaged when the volume is high.
·
Burning a pile of rubbish in your
garden without being there to monitor it can be dangerous. Such small fires are
known to have become big inferno.
·
Don't buy drugs for yourself because
your Doctor has prescribed it for a similar sickness on previous occasion. Go
again and again to your Doctor whenever you are sick and get a prescription.
·
Take a good look at other passengers
in the Cab. You may have to give their description to the Police in future, if
the need arises.
·
The driver you need to worry about is
the one who keep on saying, "don't worry" to every observation you
raise or to the warnings you draw his attention to.
·
The person to distrust most is the one who is quick to swear about
his sincerity.
·
It is better to talk to your bank's customer service than to seek
assistance from someone at the ATM.
·
An old friend whom you have not seen for long should be treated as
a new acquaintance. He may no longer be the good guy you used to know.
