“Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation, there is sure to be failure.” Confucius.
I woke up today with a renewed sense that I was very lucky to be alive. Moreover not to be a hospital hanging on to precious human life. Or worse, dead! Yesterday, I had many places I needed to go before the day was ended and I had a lot of things I needed to do before the day had ended. To keep the energy going, I had my morning homemade coffee, a Starbucks Double Shot tall coffee before I left my house. Then I was drinking a diet Pepsi on the road before my first stop. Then I had sweet teas in my truck and of course, that does not include the other caffeinated drink I had bought during the day. Needless to say, I do not usually drink that much caffeine during the day, and needless to say, I was a moving biological creature of caffeinated energy.
I would bet that a great majority of my dear readers love caffeinated drinks and I would also bet that my dear my readers that they drive some sort of automobile too. Maybe if my dear readers read this online essay and learn from it, I might have saved a few human lives and avoid some major car/ truck/monocycle/airplane accidents and fatalities too. So read and learn my dear readers.
When I woke up today, I made my usual morning coffee, but long before that morning coffee, my nerves were already unnerved because the aftershock memories started rolling into my conscious mind, which had an immediate effect on my whole biological system. But I have been accustomed to the memories of near-death experiences throughout my life, starting when I was just a little boy.
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the ax.” Abraham Lincoln.
When I was a teenager in the ninth 9th grade, I was sitting in the front seat between my parents in a new station wagon. My dad was driving on a wide stretch of road with a very clear view in sight in front of us with plenty of space to dodge traffic. I can remember it like it was yesterday! Appearing out of nowhere was another car in our driving lane that was passing another car. It was not far away from us but rather close to us. Close enough that I could see the other drive of that car. My head quickly turned to my dad’s face as I saw it tighten up ready to dodge that car. My head swung around towards to our car’s front window to see the passing car very quickly getting closer and closer to us. It was so close! Yet, that car passed the other car just in time before my dad had to turn the steering wheel to the right to avoid hitting the passing car if indeed it was needed to do so. I did not know about the traffic on our right because my mental focus was straight in front of me.
I never talked about that experience with anyone because I trusted that my dad was a good enough driver to make the correct decision to avoid an accident and avoid getting us killed. As a teenager, I figured it was all part of driving a car or truck on the road. But the memory stayed with me and I recalled that memory many times while I was driving a car, truck, motorcycle, or even a bicycle too. I continued to recall that moment because I knew that when I was an adult or when I was driving a car, truck, motorcycle, or even a bicycle, that I would eventuality have to make a nano split decision without one ounce of thinking about it. Pure reaction time!
“I don’t believe in luck, I believe in preparation.” Bobby Knight.
Most people who drive an automobile probably do not think that they have to program their brains, minds, and consciousness to be a good driver. But they should realize that if they do not program their brains, minds, and consciousness to make nanosecond decisions whether driving a car or truck, etc. or even in any type of life decision-making process, they are heading in the wrong direction. In other words, they might not have enough time to avoid being killed in a car or truck or whatever accident.
“Proper preparation (Mental and Physical) prevents poor performance.” Stephen Keague.
Around the date April 2017, on a very narrow road, there was a head-on collision between two semi-tractor trucks traveling at speeds that were probably faster than 50 miles an hour on a 55 mile an hour on the narrow road. Those two semi-tractor truck drivers were probably not thinking about having to dodge each other because of an illegal passing car whose driver was a complete moron and now a murderer for the rest of his life. He knows that he is a murderer because he knows that he caused a fatal major semi-tractor truck accident when he should have not been passing. He now has to live with the fact that he caused the deaths of two innocent people who had families too.
I have a helicopter picture of those two destroyed semi-tractor trucks on the wall above my writing desk to remind me that it could happen to me at any time that I am driving on that road. I wanted to be reminded that I had to be mentally ready and prepared to get out of the way of an illegal and dangerous and deadly passing car that does not care about killing or murdering another human being or themselves with his car.
“Prepare the umbrella (mind) before it rains.” Malay Proverb.
Being a motorcyclist means training his or her mind to look ahead and to scan for all of the different possible scenarios that might occur when riding a motorcycle, like cars taking a left hand turn out from a side street and not seeing the motorcycle that is traveling straight on the main street. So the motorcyclist must be ready to avoid such lazy, bad, and dangerous car drivers. There are all sorts of different dangerous scenarios that a motorcyclist must be prepared for when he is riding a motorcycle. He knows that driving a motorcycle is a dangerous activity and it could be a very dangerous and deadly activity too. He knows that he is not safe and that his only weapon for staying alive is to be ready to make a nano-second decision that could save his life.
“Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.” Alexander Graham Bell.
Last night, after all of my years of my driving experience and preparation, my life was saved from a head-on collision with an illegal passing car, at night, on the same curvy narrow road that those two previous semi-tractor trucks had been killed on. They were driving on a very straight road with no trees on either side of the road during daylight. Whereas I was driving during the night on an unlit curvy part of the road with trees on both sides of the road and I could not see almost anything except the single car’s headlights in front of me. Shit, the guy is passing on a curve.
In a flash of time, I saw the dangerous moron driver pull out onto my side of the road on the curved road. I saw so little space between my truck and the car that the dangerous moron driver was passing. In a nano-second decision, I felt the tips of my finger like it was on the trigger of a firearm during a firearm firefight. My dear readers, I have been driving many ‘things’ for a very long time with my fingers and I have never experienced my fingers in such a way as I did last night. I will never forget it either.
As if my body was completely gone and the only thing that mattered in a second or two were my finger and thump and the steering wheel of my Ford 150 pickup truck. I felt my fingers ever so slightly move that steering wheel ever so gently so that my car would move only a few feet onto the right onto the narrow emergency/service part of the road so my truck would not go flying off into the deep ditch that was on my right side of the road. I could feel my truck’s tires hitting those indents on the road’s tar so I would know that I was now leaving the road. As my eyes were on the passing car and the space between me and that car, I felt like my truck was an airplane in the sky or a boat in the water. Just a touch of the airplane’s or boat’s ‘steering wheel’ and my truck was simply out of danger.
That passing car missed me by one or two or three feet. If I had not pulled my truck over by one or two or three feet, I would not be writing this story at this very moment. I might be hooked up to hospital machines or dead. All because some stupid punk driver could not wait long enough to get his car around a blind bend in the road. Unbelievable! I saw that dangerous moron’s car slip between the lucky space between me and the other car by only a couple of feet, if that much
I saw that dangerous moron’s car slip between the lucky space between me and the other car. That lucky space was created when I slipped my truck only a foot or two feet to my right in the nick of time it took for me and my pickup truck to avoid being smashed by the oncoming traveling and moving at 60 plus mile an hour. That illegal and deadly passing car whose driver would have ended up more dead than me because I was higher up than he was. But still, good-bye to my truck and hello to many pretty nurses in a hospital somewhere.
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” Benjamin Franklin
I had a lot to do today! But I decided to write today to let out steam that I was almost killed last night when I still have a lot to do during my lifetime on earth. To be honest, my mind is still in a semi-state of shock that I was so very close to being in a head-on collision that I am sort of speechless, meaning to I do not want to talk, not even to myself. Hum! I guess I am writing to my dear readers instead. I still have a lot of writing to do before I die!
Maybe my dear readers can learn something from my story. Like, do not take dangerous and deadly chances when driving anything. And to be mentally ready and prepared for anything whatsoever when driving anything. I hope so!
After all, I know that all of my dear readers have a lot to do before they die too!
