It is always better to be prepared for the worst, even when you don’t expect it to happen, than to not be prepared at all. Case-in-point, the vast majority of people do not even have a first-aid kit in their car. They never prepare for when something bad may happen. Everyone’s car should be stocked with drinkable water, food, and items that would be needed if an emergency ever arised. And yet hardly anyone does this. People also don’t learn CPR and other procedures that might come during a medical emergency, stuff EVERYONE should know and be prepared for. Among other things like an exit strategy in case of a fire.
This is a quote that more people should keep in mind as they go about their business. Always PREPARE for the worst, while hoping for the best. It is foolish not to, and sometimes if something goes bad, there is no going back. Wouldn’t you rather have been prepared to face it, than make things that much worse by not being prepared at all?
I know I would, and that is why I live by this quote.
