ORANGE PEEL

Back in 1911, a stuntman named Bobby Leach went over the Niagara Falls
in a specially designed steel drum - and lived to tell about it.
Although he suffered minor injuries, he survived because he recognised
the tremendous dangers involved in the feat, and he had done
everything he could to protect himself from harm. Several years later,
while walking down the street in New Zealand, Bobby Leach slipped on
an orange peel, fell, and badly fractured his leg. He was taken to a
hospital where he died of complications from that fall. He recieved a
greater injury walking down the street than he sustained in going over
the Niagara Falls. He was not prepared for danger in what he assumed
to be a safe situation. Some of the big problems we have that roar
around us like the rushing waters of the Niagara will leave us
unharmed, while a small, seemingly insignificant ones may cause our
downfall. Why? We simply become careless and do not recognise the
potential danger. We mistakenly think we are secure. We must always be
on guard. To be victorious and successful in life, we must watch out
even for those little "orange peels."
