On the 1st day of 2014, I almost involved in a serious accident. It was in the morning and having not enough sleep, I drag myself out of my bed to bring the goodies which I bought in Taiwan to my sister's house.
I was at the junction of a traffic light and I was focusing on a couple on a bike in front of me. I did no see the traffic light and as the bike turn , I follow it to turn and suddenly, I saw a car speeding towards me on a head on diretion. I step on my brake and it was fortunate that it was just in time for the car to pass through. I woke up and found that the traffic light was still red.
What was I thinking about ? Yeah, maybe it is the tiredness from the overseas trip as my mental status have not fully recovered yet. I could be seriously injured or could be killed because the car was speeding to beat the traffic light. I think the car is driving about 120 km per hour.
This is the second incident. I remembered the first incident not so long ago, when I took the wrong turn and driving into another lane with on-coming traffic.
I know that with a slight twist of fate, things could be different and life is so fragile. Afte this incidences, I become more alert and relax in life. As I have often told my staff, life is uncertain , death is the only certain thing and we shall take life as it come and enjoy it to the fullest. We should learn how to dance in the rain.
Namaste.
