Sometimes, there's just no hope for resilience. I just heard a news story about a young man jogging on the railroad tracks. Can you guess the ending? Yup, hit and killed by a train. Not only was he tempting fate by jogging along the tracks, he had earbuds in, so he made doubly sure the outcome would be bad. This on the heels of the story of the man who set off fireworks from the top of his head. I kid you not. Yes, he died, too.
If planning for emergencies and disasters seems complicated, it doesn't have to be. Often, it is the simple choices that can make the most difference. Take this woman's instructional video on how to avoid being attacked by a shark: Stay out of the Shark's House! She's great, isn't she (aside from making a video in the car -- eek!)? Simple, practical advice. Don't take a careless risk.
There are plenty of other simple choices you can make today. Here's two to get you started: toss a pair of sneakers in the trunk of your car - just in case, and check that locked door at the back of the building you work in - has somebody propped it open "just for a second" and then wandered off, leaving your otherwise secure building vulnerable?
