If you drink, don't drive, and if you drive, don't drink.
Many don't realize how precious life is and often gamble with it as if it has a duplicate. Not at all, life has no duplicate because we only die once, and some of these deaths are so painful that they destroy an entire family.
Every year, within a relatively short period from December 30/31 to January 1, many are left behind with sad stories. Some of these tragedies could have been prevented.
It's great to see the end of the year, ready to cross over to the new year. We meet families and attend parties, but along the line, many make wrong decisions.
If you drive to a party or see the family, absent-mindedly, you may drink a lot without realizing it because you are happy. If you see yourself in such a situation, please don't drive home.
Let someone qualified to drive who hasn't taken any alcohol to drive you home, or leave the vehicle behind and the public transport home. Had I known, it would have always at last.
You may not drive, but you can easily get entangled in a road accident. Drivers who often drink and drive during festive periods, under the influence of alcohol, lose control when driving.
Pedestrians must, therefore, be careful on the streets to be safe. Be like a bodyguard and use both your eyes and ears wherever you are.
Finally, put off all lit candles before going to bed. Pets such as dogs or cats can accidentally push down a lit candle to set a house ablaze. You may not only lose your house but also your life.
Life is beautiful; we should forgive if anyone offends us. That not only brings peace and happiness but also improves health.
