5-Minute Message: Lucky You
As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, we often hear the phrase “the luck o’ the Irish”, and images of ‘”lucky shamrocks” abound. Many people think of luck as something that is stumbled upon accidentally, like a pot of gold, but others align with the popular saying “Luck is simply Preparation meeting Opportunity.” For this St. Patrick’s Day, cultivate your luck with a little preparedness and a dash of optimism. Do any of the following to feel confident before an emergency:
• Carry a whistle, flashlight, programmed cell phone, CUE card
• Choose comfortable shoes
• Review in your head some helpful response tips, such as the proper way to use a fire extinguisher: P.A.S.S. (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep).
If you do experience an emergency, some people will say how “lucky you were”, others will recognize it as simply being prepared to prosper!
