Taking Control of your life young enough to stay alive

 For me, my viewpoint was always very scientific and logical and in regard to work very methodical. Why?

Because my father trained me to be an electrician from age 10 or 12 to age 17 and if you are not methodical you can easily die from various kinds of electric shock along the way. I have been hit with 110 volts literally thousands of times and that is survivable IF you aren't standing in water or in other wised compromised. I have been hit with 220 several times but that is potentially less survivable and will often knock you across the room when your muscles contract suddenly. It's usually your arm that does something funny with 110 like bounce off a wall or hit you in the face as the muscles contract suddenly from a 110 jolt and hopefully you aren't seriously injured with this happens often without warning.

You might ask why didn't you turn the electricity off in that circuit?

Often people are using that circuit at an existing house or building so you cannot turn that circuit off. However, usually 220 or 440 or 480 you always turn the electricity off because those voltages are often fatal to a human being.

It's just 110 that is more easily survivable mostly unless you are standing in water when this happens and then you are just usually dead.

Also, I have only met one person who has survived being hit with 1000 volts that blew down into his yard.

However, it blew his body (through muscles contracting about 10 to 25 feet and left him unconscious but not dead so he recovered because he got off the 1000 volts pretty quickly just by the severe contractions in his body. 

But, if you can't get off even 110 it could stop your heart or give you a stroke or decrease your brain function or worse. So, you have to be really careful around getting shocked even once.

For some people one shock might kill them. However, I was given the attitude by my father that I could survive a lot of 110 shocks because he had always been an electrician and Electrical Contractor all his life and trained by his father who was an electrical contractor too.

The point here is I learned early that if you don't take control of your life you might be dead any moment.

So, being scientific and logical about everything keeps you alive. Doing other things doesn't.

So, taking control of your life as a young person from about 15 to 30 is often the difference between life and death on many different levels.

IF you don't take control of your own life, Who Will?

Luckily, I survived this transition to adulthood but many don't make it for one reason or another.

I needed to be "Master of my own ship and Creator of my own destiny" which worked when I became an entrepreneur and owned businesses.

But, until I got married and had a child I couldn't grow up enough to get there. But, I realized I needed to care more about others than myself. However, you have to be very careful who you choose to care about because that can be a problem too as many of you know by now.
