An Ounce of Prevention

I've been enjoying the "things worth believing in" blog and came across this great quote in a recent post:

Awareness and a bit of forethought will keep you alive a lot longer than fighting skills.

This is a concept I've been preching to my wife for years...unfortunately, I fear it's taken more as paranoia than practical wisdom so far.


  1. maybe you should get her a copy of 'the gift of fear' by Gavin DeBecker. Good book about awareness and using your intuition to keep yourself safe.


  2. Yeah, I have it...I'm reading it now, but she won't hear of it, ha! REALLY interesting book though!

  3. Is it paranoia if people really ARE after you?!

  4. Right on, Rick! I'm always telling my wife "Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean everyone's not out to get me!"
