While trying not to put all eggs inside a basket just to avoid the calamity that may before one at anything time. I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but it would be good to expect worst sometimes by preparing one's mind for it as i believe this will limit the level of one's anxiety when the real trouble surface, maybe i'm wrong!
