I suffered a physical injury lately, and began to contemplate if a lot of injuries and unfortunate accidents happen when one has a cocksure attitude of their skills and feels on top of their game. Whether it be a football or baseball player, or a driver who feels like the king of the road, I'm wondering if people could be setting themselves up for an accident when they feel they can do no wrong. Of course there is fate that happens too, yet I wonder about having that sense that something bad is going to happen when you feel so competant and somewhat complacent about your abilities. Look back on your life and your accidents and tell me if this is true or not. What might one do to prevent misfortune in the future. Thanks
