Sometimes life can be pretty harsh and so i thought i would share a little tip on how i like to handle things in my own life. we all enjoy a little adrenaline from time to time but when doing those things a little theory goes a long way, learning basic safety tips for whatever it is you are dealing with is always a good start, but it's never enough. To me the next step is learning the more advanced aspects of those things and i would say start off safely and in controlled situations, not everyone is the type who can learn to swim by almost drowning, i'm trying to improve my motorcycle skills right now and learning the hard way in this situation can be a quick trip to the coffin, same goes for close combat, exotic materials handling and maybe also dealing with human beings, so go slow, learn as much theory as you can and then ease into the more action based stuff, you don't need to rush, that will get you killed, get smart or get dead. i wish i had someone in my life to tell me this stuff but i never really did, so thats why i wanted to share this with you all. stay safe but don't forget to live a little, risk is a part of life that is unavoidable if you want to get anywhere but there is better ways to manage it than what that mate that trys to get you to do stupid things says. you have a good brain don't forget to use it.
