ACCIDENT : CAUSES

Before we can develop a really effective programme to prevent auto accidents , we will have to learn far more than we now know about why such accidents happen. The National Safety Council ,while pointing out that most accidents result from a combination of causes, & that "few accidents are investigated carefully enough to determine exactly what their underlying causes were," estimates that in about 80% of accidents, the most important single factor is the driver himself. Bad weather , poor road conditions, and defects in cars do cause some accidents, but generally speaking such circumstances appear to be of minor significance compared with the mental & physical condition of the driver. & recent research indicates that the driver's physical condition is of less importance than his personality & his emotional state. Many, if not most, accidents, this research suggests are the result of wayward impulse & motivation of faulty judgement & attitudes, of poorly controlled aggressiveness & competitiveness. Nearly two-thirds of the drivers involved in fatal accidents were speeding driving while under the influence of alcohol, disregarding stop lights or signs, or otherwise violating the law , according to the Safety Council.

The question arises why do people drive so fast, drive after drinking, take risks in passing or in general, commit dangerous, careless, illegal, impulsive, or unfriendly acts when they get behind the wheel..??

Lack of social responsibility, & intolerance of the driver are the main causes of accidents. Caution, tolerance, foresight & consideration for others bring safety. Their absence invites accidents ..!!

EGOTISM - COMMONEST FAULT OF MANKIND

E gotism is the most common fault of mankind. Product of the perfectly natural desire to display oneself, egotism, which is an exaggerated form of self- display, can take such a variety of shapes that it is not always easy to discern. Beyond any shadow of doubt,however, it is personal defect that ought to be constantly hunted down the scotched, for it impairs the personality & frustrates all efforts at self-improvement. " Egotism is the glue with which you get stuck in yourself "             The easily recognisable form of egotism that is evidenced in the person who continually talks of his own affairs. You may all have met such kind of man who is never happy save when recounting his exploits & experiences in life & whatever he speaks may later arrive at himself. On the other hand , there is a type ,not common ,which evidence its egotism by affecting a humility & that is certainly not felt , & avoid use of "I" in speech .such affectatio...

GIRL CHILD - NOT STILL WELCOMED BY MANY COMMUNITIES

  GIRL CHILD - NOT STILL WELCOMED BY MANY COMMUNITIES   A  question of a girl from society and world " What's my fault if I born as a Girl..?????Why society hates me ...????  I have a question from GOD why created me & send it to hell if society sees me as a Curse .????? Why ..??? Why. .?? Why. ....???? W omen constitute half of this world . But a recent survey showed that there are still many communities in India which don't welcome the birth of a girl child . It is a shame That inspite of liberalisation & globalisation we are mentally still deeply rooted in the superstitions & beliefs of the middle ages & feudalism . No doubt, there are certain communities in India which consider the birth of a girl child an inauspicious burden. In a male dominated society , the birth of a girl child is not an occasion for rejoicing . But the most unfortunate & alarming thing is that even in most prosperous states foetal killing & abortions are very com...
