"This is the same thing I always tell people, do whatever you can to save your life, keep off from places or anything that will lead to your untimely death because if you ever die today no body cares and life goes on immediately, not even your siblings will stop other important things they are doing because of your death . Try your best to manage your life and live the rest for God."
