Self protection is best!

Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal. Prepare yourself in every way you can by increasing your knowledge and adding to your experience, so that you can make the most of opportunity when it occurs
Mario Andretti g

The other day I was speaking the father of a teenage girl. He was telling me that he is taking his daughter out from a day school to put her in a boarding school. The reason he said was that his daughter is spending a lot of her time with her boy friends and mobile phone. He wanted her to be in a place where she will not be disturbed by such social risks.

He thinks that he is solving the problem. But actually he is avoiding the problem. The solution lies in educating his daughter to do what is good for her at this age.

I gave him the example of installing a virus prevention software in a computer. There will be risks of virus files from the internet or from other storage devises. The only solution is to protect our computer appropriately!

We have to accept the fact that we are not living in an ideal society and accept the reality of social risks. The same society has so much good to offer and we should know how to protect ourselves intelligently!

Over this weekend, check if you are avoiding any issue and find out a way to solve the same!
