I know most people after reading the title will think I'm about to tell a story. Am i about to tell a story? 馃し I don't know. But what I know for sure is I'm trying to pass a message across.

What does looking before leaping mean? Literally, it means scanning to see if the surface you are jumping onto is safe for you to land on. Meanwhile, the proverbial meaning is simply to take precautions before advancing to do something. I'm sure you understand what I'm driving at with the above definitions.

All I'm saying is for everyone of us to have a foresight before taking any decision concerning our lives and the lives of others who depends on us in general.
You see, mistakes, once made are sometimes really hard to come back from and most times when they are made, that situation is totally irredeemable. This is why we must look and really hard too so as to avoid damaging any parts of us as we land on that surface after leaping.
Life is too short and precious to make mistakes that are irreparable...

Let's do things with caution at all times.
