Government is taking seriously the issue of road safety and is committed to reducing the number of people killed in accidents. Forums are being conducted regularly to bring law-makers, law enforcement officers and road users together to discuss ways to tackle the rise in road accidents. Everyone agrees that more needs to be done on road safety in its determination to curb the rate of road accidents in the country. The Government, with the cooperation of relevant agencies, is making serious efforts to instil proper road culture in children, young adults and the public in general. There are approximately 14 million cars on the road with the figure on the rise and the traffic police have been taking a tough stance on traffic offenders. Statistics reveal that traffic-light-related offences are on the rise, especially in the urban areas. The traffic police, however, have taken a tough stance against traffic light defaulters by slapping hefty fines and 'awarding' demerit points to the offenders. Typical reasons cited for jumping traffic lights include rushing to an urgent appointment or even worse to be completely oblivious of the changing of the lights. |

No one's ability to remember names is perfect. Yet this important skill gives you the advantage in business and personal relations. Memory lapses often boil down to a question of concentration. Firstly, keep focused. When you find yourself wrestling with a forgotten name ten seconds after an introduction, it's because you were inattentive. This happens primarily because we often are preoccupied with ourselves. Remember, when you're meeting someone new, clear your thoughts of outside concerns. If your mind wanders during an introduction, ask that the name be repeated. To reinforce your memory, dramatise faces. If you try to memorise names by rote, you'll probably forget the information quickly. But if you dramatise names and faces with memorable images, you'll most likely recall them with ease. The best way to retain new names is by 'association- exaggerates? or by forging connections between unlike things. You could also make associations. Once you've memorised a particular feature, transform the person's name into an unforgettable image through rudimentary and even amusing connections. Easy associations work best. The final key is to remember a person's name in review. During your conversation, say the name as often as it seems appropriate. Training yourself to remember names may take a lot of practice. But once you've mastered the art, you can be sure people will remember you. |

There were blinding flashes, followed by peels of thunder our anxiety rose into fear. Suddenly without any warning' our helicopter went into a spin and nosedived into the darkness below. There was a deafening crash. The impact was so tremendous that we thought we had been torn into a thousand pieces. I only realized that I was still alive when I felt cold water. The chopper had plunged into the sea as it began to sink, water was gushing in. I began to grope my way around to find an exit. Although I had my inflatable life jacket on, I resisted using it lest I became stuck inside the chopper. It was a great relief when I finally found an opening. I swam through it and surfaced. Then I inflated my life-jacket suddenly I heard some familiar voices. It turned out to be the pilot and his assistant. Was I glad to know that they survived the crash! But where were three more of our fellow crew members? If they had not swum away from the sinking helicopter, they would have been drowned the three of us grouped together as it would increase our chances of survival. We then took stock of the situation the helicopter had probably gone down. We were not able to locate our whereabouts in the dark. We decided to stay put until dawn. Even then, we had to endure the rough waves, cold rains and strong currents. We gave each other encouragement and clung together throughout the night. |

People usually have to listen, whatever the beginning is like: but there is a great deal of difference between a listening which stops just short of fingers in the ears, and a listening which is eager and willing. It is with this difference that we are concerned. We want people to enjoy listening to us, not to endure it. To ensure this, we must start well. The first and the last impressions are important. The beginning of a speech, requires special consideration, for it sets the tone for what is to follow. The aim of the beginning is to make the audience feel that what is to follow is going to be good, going to be memorable. The last thing the speaker should do is to begin by undermining the confidence of the audience in his ability to address them. One would have thought this so obvious that no one in his senses would do so, yet time and again, we hear speakers apologising for their very existence. Every speech is a series of climaxes leading, as in a stage drama, to a grand climax or end. And unity is a necessary ingredient of speech. The ending, like the beginning, must be memorable. It must be the last blow of the hammer on the nail you have been banging in throughout the speech. When you have said it, the audience should feel the force of it. Always try to keep your audience wondering to some extent what is coming next. A little mild mystery is a great help. |

There seem to be just two ways of perceiving time: some people complain about never having any, others are always looking for ways to kill time. But time is actually very fairly distributed. Everyone gets 60 minutes per hour and 24 hours per day, net; It is only the daily tasks that are distributed unequally. They make the day too short for some people and too long for others. Just imagine a pupil who is handed his lessons for the week all in one lump by the teacher: "By Saturday you have to do 100 maths problems, read 20 pages in your reading book, write two dictations and a composition, and know all about the geography of the North Sea and about the biblical Flood. You must also learn two songs, participate in sports and find time for needlework and drawing.?' The pupil will probably be shocked by this mountain of work and prefer to stay in bed pretending to have the flu. However, divided according to subjects and lessons, the weekly workload is not as intimidating. The pupil sees that all the subjects can be covered - and there is free time as well. |

There seem to be just two ways of perceiving time: some people complain about never having any, others are always looking for ways to kill time. But time is actually very fairly distributed. Everyone gets 60 minutes per hour and 24 hours per day, net; It is only the daily tasks that are distributed unequally. They make the day too short for some people and too long for others.
