Workers (People), what do you think about these articles?

I regarded it as an honour and a privilege to contribute to the above topic. I think it is excellent because your survival is important to me. Listen to this also: Your own survival can be threatened by the back actions of others around you. Hello! Your own happiness can be turned to tragedy and sorrow by the dishonesty and the misconduct of others. Workers (People), see what you see not what someone tells you that you see.

Workers, be competent (having sufficient skill and knowledge) and be temperate (mild or moderate in quality or character) also. Check out these because I am very serious about your survival concerning “The Awareness” you must have.

Alcohol-Do not take it to excess. People who take are not alert; it impairs their ability to react even when it seems to them they are more alert because of it. Alcohol has some medicinal value. It can be grossly underestimated. Do not let anyone who has been drinking to drive or fly you in a plane. A little liquor goes a long way; don’t let too much of it wind up in happiness or death. Discourage people (workers) from excessive drinking. Also, take your rest although many times in life one has to work beyond normal sleep periods, a worker’s general failure to get proper rest can make him/her a burden to others. Tired workers are not alert; they make mistakes, they have accidents just when you need them they dump the whole workload on you. They put others at risk and so I hereby encourage you to insist that people who do not get proper rest to do so.

Before I close, let me touch bit on this one: People who take drugs-and I believe you have an idea what I am referring to- do not always see the real world in front of them. They are not really there. On highway, in casual contact or at home, they can be very dangerous to you. Mistakenly, they believe that they feel better or act better or are only happy when on drugs. This is just another belief; sooner or later the drugs will destroy them physically so I am discouraging people (workers) from taking drugs.

Read the points above and become more physically able to enjoy life.

Continue to read; workers (people), it’s your choice.

Thank you.
