Can bad time management lead to death

Yes and I have an incident that happened just yesterday in Hyderabad. Read the below news report:

Title: Student, father crushed between bus and bridge
Hyderabad, Feb 7, 2007: An engineering student and her father were crushed to death by a college bus in Bowenpally on Wednesday.

The deceased were identified as 19-year-old Sneha Priya, a first year student of Sreedevi College of Engineering in Gandipet and her father S. Shankarnath, 48. The father was trying to overtake the college bus from the left on a narrow culvert at Chinna Tokatta bridge after they narrowly missed the bus at the regular alighting point. The girl died on the spot due to head injury and the father succumbed to injuries while undergoing treatment.

Everyday the father used to drop the girl at the bus stop, but on the fateful day they were late by may be less than 2 minutes and the bus had already left the bus stop. In order to catch the bus the father tried to overtake the bus and ended up on his last ride.

I felt very bad and I can understand the amount of grief Shankarnath's wife is undergoing. Shankarnath has three daughters and Snehapriya is the eldest. Look at the fate, what all the family must undergo now without the head of the family. I am really feeling bad even now.

Why did they come late? I have seen so many people taking importance of time lightly. It is not even time, it is just a question of priority and exercising the control that we have. We all have control on our starting time on any journey. But most of us underestimate or just casually start on our everyday journey. Simple discipline and prioritisation would save us lots of risk. Why does some have to rush on a vehicle, be it a two-wheeler in which case the rider is in danger or be it a four-wheeler in which case everyone else is also in danger. Why can't we plan and manage our time and start a little in advance. A two-minute delay has took lives of two people.

Looking at the above incident, I would say, Bad Time Management does lead to death - beware!

If your life is important, then managing time, prioritising it and following some basic rules is important as well. Look at the social, and economic impact on the family for a more powerful reason.

So friends, assess the risk that you are taking for the two extra lazy minutes you are taking.

Though we cannot stop death but at least we can do whatever is in our hands and see that our valuable life is not wasted. Everyday we feed ourselves, invest in ourselves, develop relationships, accumulate material things, dream about great things, plan for future but without life everything vanishes in thin air. So manage time, and only then do everything else is my strong advice.
