ford everest mirror Q&A Review

Is Ford Everest a luxury car?

Deciding on whether a car is considered a luxury car or not can be quite difficult at times. You’ve to consider price, features, performance, comfort, etc. Luxury has nothing to do with the brand name, even though some people associate luxury with a brand. I personally think the highest standard of defining a luxury car is 1.comfort, 2.build quality, 3.build material and then the rest (performance, safety, features, etc) Comfort - ,Are the seats comfortable? How good is the sound insulation? etc Build Quality - ,How big are the panel gaps? Will the paint last? Does the dashboard rattle? Do the cup holders feel like they’ll last for a long time? etc Build Material - ,Does the car have good leather or any relevant luxury material? How much plastic was used in the interior? What material was used for the interior trims? What material was used for the seats? etc Other things - ,Safety,performance and features. Now back to the Ford Everest… Here’s is a few pictures of the Ford Everest. A few things can tell you that they ,had to cut some costs… Interior You can clearly see there’s a lot of plastic trims in the car The interior build quality is good but it’s not up there with cars like the BMW X5, Audi Q7, Mercedes GLE and Lexus LX. The seats don’t offer much adjustments. The steering wheel looks is pulled straight from a Ford Ranger. etc Exterior It doesn’t have visible exhaust pipes. (most luxury SUVs have visible exhaust pipes). It costs more money to make visible exhaust pipes and most budget cars simply don’t do it. The side steps plastic looks cheap. Only high end models have xenon headlights. Some models have plastic covered mirrors. etc Visit this website ,Compare Models, to read more on Ford Everest Models. In short the Ford Everest is a good car for the price. Reverse cameras and PDC are standard across the range. Higher end models have dual zone climate control, Adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, heads up display, blind spot monitoring, 10 speakers, etc ,but, ,it’s not a luxury SUV. ,It’s based on the Ford Ranger pick up truck and therefore it doesn’t drive and feel as plush as luxurious SUVs that were made built from the ground up to be SUVs. It lacks a few things such as air suspension, a better infotainment system, better seats adjustment, better sound insulation, better build material, etc. That’s why ,it’s not a luxury SUV ,but more of somewhat a higher end budget 7 seater SUV.

What is the use of mirrors on back windshield of cars?

I think you are referring to mirrors in SUV’s attached to the rear hatch like this You may find this only in Large SUV’s like the Ford Endeavour/ Everest. The purpose of this mirror is to make short obstacles like a large rock or boulder shorter than the tailgate visible. But how? As you can see the from the image the mirror is convex, which can cover the entire ground underneath the tailgate of the SUV. This gets reflected to the IRVM( Inner Rear- View mirror that you can find in any car). The driver can view the rear mirror from the reflection at the IRVM and can check for obstacles. Rear-view cameras have made these mirrors obsolete, though its used to enhance the butch looks of an SUV.

How do I accurately portray mental disorders to a generation who romanticizes such issues? I'm writing a novel about characters with legitimate disorders functioning in a society that ignores them because mental illness is a fad.

So you see a psychologist. You’re having some troubles doing your school work. You’re thinking about suicide. People actually die of suicide. People actually can’t get out of bed or brush their teeth or take a shower. People can’t get themselves to find work, and if they somehow manage to do so, they can’t get out the door in the morning. People are actually paralyzed by the thought of failing others. Articulate people are so anxious, they can’t make a five minute speech about a paper they wrote. They can’t look anyone in the eye. They cry in front of strangers because they are constantly thinking about how much of a failure they are. They are in so much pain they can’t imagine it stopping without them being dead. Go to a DBSA meeting. Or just join some online support group. Go to AA meetings or any AA-style meeting. Attend for a year or so. You’ll hear stories. You’ll hear what’s real. The fact is that if you indulge your depression, it will eat you alive. That’s one of the weird things about depression. People think it isn’t serious. So they pretend to themselves they are just being fashionable. But it isn’t fake, and inside, it is eating these students up. Worse, they are fomenting more stigma by not taking themselves seriously. Depression makes you doubt yourself. It feels…. it FEELS like you only have to make a little change in your brain… one little choice, and you’ll be out of it. But that’s a lie. We can’t change ourselves so easily. Depression is a habit of thought that makes you believe you’re in control when you aren’t. Depression is actually in control and all these people who are making like it is fashionable are lying to themselves out of fear that they can’t control themselves. Pretend you’re in control, and you’ll be in control. Fake it until you make it. Except it doesn’t work like that. The joke — not that it is a joke — is on all the people who are pretending to themselves that they are being fashionable. Or cool. They are fooling themselves about the severity of their experience. And it’s made even worse by all the reporters who call it being fashionable. This increases the stigma because it plays to people’s prejudices that the depressed are just faking it. We aren’t. We are not in control. We think we’re in control, but we really can’t fix ourselves just by deciding to be better. At least, most of us can’t. We might postpone things by faking it, but in the end, without self-acceptance, we don’t get better. And we fight ourselves so many different ways. Depression is pretty serious (except when using humor to lighten the load). It can kill you. It certainly debilitates people. Worse, it makes people defeat themselves. They barely have to move to get help, and yet they can’t move far enough to meet with others like them. An ant hill is as bad as Mt Everest. Calling mental illness a fad perpetuates the stigma of mental illness. It’s just another way that people insist that the mentally ill are lazy and they could pull themselves out of it if they just used an ounce of brain power. Of course that makes everyone feel worse, because it isn’t possible to just snap out of it. If you understand this, it should be a snap to write your novel. Depression is the opposite of what it appears to be. Don’t be fooled. We live in cultures that universally stigmatize illness. It isn’t safe to be around sick people. No one likes to go to hospitals. It’s worse when people behave differently. Then they look ok, but still act inexplicably. People make it clear they aren’t welcome, and the mentally ill totally isolate from society. No one wants to be around people who don’t want them around. So we isolate, and in doing so, make ourselves worse. The reality is that there is no faking mental illness. People think they are faking, but when push comes to shove, they can’t get out of it just by wishing it were so. The only people the fakers are faking is themselves and everyone else who thinks mental illness is some scam. If you’re mentally ill, you aren’t functioning the way most people expect others to function. Pretending your illness is a fad is a dysfunction designed to hide the dysfunction. Pretending to be ill is a sign of illness, but people take it as if the pretense was real. The pretense is real illness, not real pretense. It’s pretend pretense. I may be playing with words, but remember, depression is a mirror that turns the world inside out and upside down. You walk away to get somewhere. Walking towards it moves you farther away. You pretend because you are dysfunctional. The dysfunction is real.

What would you do first if someone gives you 1,000,000,000 of your country’s currency?

Lets assume that this money is deposited in my bank account, and that for ease of answering the question all of the issues potentially involved like investigations on where the money came from, transfer limits, gifting limits, taxes etc are uninvolved. So this is a billion dollars USD after taxes, disposable income in my bank account. First thing I would do is do my best to resist the urge to tell all of my closest friends. This kind of money would drastically change the life of you and 100 of the closest peers too you, and it would be tough to maintain normal friendships and relationships when you just arrived at enough money to buy a handful of countries. I would then contact my father who is a lawyer and successfully went from a lower middle class second generation American to owning a global company. He would be my first stop for advice of this nature, and probably one of the only people I could trust to have my best interests in mind. After that I would get in touch with our close family friend and former boss who runs a hedge fund to get a better grasp of the money side, and start to flesh out investment strategies, and who were the right people to have by my side through the turbulent initial phases. I would then assemble a team outside of those two original people. The team would be at least two financial advisors (possibly from different firms if there weren’t issues about this and my first two contacts agreed). A legal team, a trusted banker, a bodyguard, and a driver. All of this team would be people I do not have personal ties with, but would also have input from my father and former boss. Exact amounts might differ based on advice from my team, but I would put at least 100m and probably more like 250m into a high yield savings account. This is safe, but makes a low return. I would make sure I cannot touch this account without approval of my team. This way, even if I somehow blow through the other 750m, I still have money to live off for the rest of my life in a relatively comfortable state. I would then take 250m and invest in broad portfolios, which encompasses established companies from Dow, S&P 500 and NASDAQ. While this will give me higher returns, it also carries more risk, especially in our current low return period. I would take another 250m and invest that in real estate, as well as gold, silver, and other commodities. A large portion of the gold and silver I would own “digitally” and trade, while the other portion I would take in physical stock and keep in safe deposit boxes. With 250m left I would probably use 150 for starting companies I have dreamed about, buying others, angel investing, or other high risk but potentially more enjoyable or passion projects. This includes starting a production/lighting company and putting on events and festivals for the single biggest thing in my life, Trance music. To investing in privatized space travel and aerospace technology. With various levels of safety nets and sources of consistent income set up I would then have 100m to play around with. Despite common misconceptions, 100m isn’t that much in the ultra luxury market. The largest super yachts cost in the 400–500m range (+20% or more per year in upkeep), and even a 250′ range mega yacht is going to run like 55m. I would probably buy a Pershing Yacht. I have always loved their sleek Eurostyle builds, and the dark grey coloring. Either a custom built Pershing 82 or 115. Which would set me back 6–12m, plus another 2m for 5 years of running. So lets say 25m with dockage, crew, fuel etc. (25m) Then I would buy an apartment in London, New York (my home), and San Francisco (my current location). Nothing two wild, say 10m for all three. (10m) Total: 35m. Grand Total: 35m I now have 65m left. I would purchase a Audi R8 V10. And for an extra cost I would have them put the old body on the new frame/engine. Take the car to a top level shop and have it totally customized. First I would have some professional car and aircraft designers figure out a new body kit that is angled, but retains the same basic shape/styling and character of the original (think a cross between the 2015 r8 and the Lamborghini Reventon). It would have angles and lines resembling a F-22 or F-117. It would then be painted in a dark grey radar absorbing paint. I would have radar and laser jammers installed in the front and rear. Finally I would have a custom system designed featuring IR headlights and two stereo FLIR cameras installed in front of the rearview mirror or in shallow pods just above on the roof. This system would at the flip of a switch turn off all visible lights emitted from the car, turn on the IR lights and FLIR cameras, and I could flip down the sun visors which would contain a screen displaying the stereo FLIR images. If I was ever pulled over at night I could engage this system, punch it, and essentially disappear, while still retaining view of the road with the FLIR system. Car (200k), customization (no idea), and probably tons of fines and fat legal fees, lets say 2m. Tesla roadster (gotta save the environment, plus the autopilot is great for long drives) 300k. Audi v8 S4 (b7 body). Not a billionaires car, but the first car that ever belonged to me (after a hand-me-down from my dad) and I wrecked, so this one is for nostalgia. (Used listed under 20k, but I would try and hunt one down that has basically been unused (under 10,000 miles), I got mine for 32k at the time + cost of hunting down a mint one and bonus for the seller to let it go, lets call it 50k. 1969 Ford Cobra 428 (also called the Ford Torino Cobra): 100k Ducati Panigael V4 S: 27.5k Oshkosh L-ATV (Currently in production as the JLTV for the US Army and Marine Corps, but civilian models available soon) 250k base.

However, rather than a bulk spree (guys fashion doesn’t change as fast) call it 500k a year for 6 years, with more income coming in for subsequent years, or subsequent women….., ,(3m) Heaps of assorted jewelry that is quality and telling, but not overly opulent as to be gaudy (to include each of the 3 different gold Cartier Love Bracelets(19k), Etincelle de Cartier earrings (rose, white and gold)(60k), Mikimoto Moonlight White South Sea Pearl w/ diamond and white gold earrings(57k), Eddie Borgo Safety Chain chokers(1k) among others): (1m) And since I dress her, I can’t forget shoes: Louboutin Daf Booty 160mm (2k) LB Viyonce 70mm: (1.3k) LB Dirdibootie: (1.2k) LB Belle: (900) LB Bianca: (1.3k) LB Pigalle Follies 100mm (x2=1.5k) LB Douce du Desert 100mm (900) Throw in another 500k for more than I’m too lazy to look through. ,Total: (510k) Handbags are one thing I don’t do, but definitely a Hermes Birkin 40 and 25 (25 and 55k respectively): call it 580 for those and whatever else she wants. ,(580k) An Audi TT RS with iridescent paint job, matching brake calipers, adaptive rear spoiler, and 20″ anthracite forged wheels. 80k Total: 8.2m. Grand Total: 57.7m Since I don’t know the top sushi places on the planet, I am going to go with a few of my personal favorites, Sushi Seki in Chelsea, 200 Omakase, for two 400, and other times with larger parties of friends, 2000, plus sake 2500. Say 50 dinners. (125k). Tanoshi Sushi, Upper East side, 100 Omakase. 1000, plus sake 1250. (x50=62.5k) My personal favorite steak restaurant on the planet, Minetta Tavern, Greenwich Village. Black Label Burger, split 4 ways as an app, 33, x2 for groups, 66. Dry-aged côte de boeuf for two, 152, x4 for groups, 608. Frites, spinach, and champignons poêlés as sides, 148. Côtes de Provence Rosè to start (x2=138). Red with the main, either Arbois Rouge (x2=112), Listrac-Mèdoc (x2=186), or Pauillac 2008 (x2=390). Depending on the occasion, all of them. (1.65k) I still dream about their côte de boeuf being out here on the west coast, so probably fly in there frequently, 50 dinners (or last time we did if for breakfast honestly…) (82.5k) I have yet to scope out any exceedingly exquisite restaurants in San Francisco because my new friend and co-worker groups out here are from differing socio-economic backgrounds. But Mensho Tokyo ramen here ~20 a bowl x4, plus sake ~80 x2. (240) (x50=12k) Bar Crudo on Divisadero, oysters 5, (x48=240), bottle of Bejoulais 23 (x4=92) (332) (x50=16.6k) Lets add another 500k a year for eating a drinking. Total: 800k. Grand Total: 58.5m Well it’s way harder to spend 100m than I thought, so lets start getting really aggressive. Back to hobbies and things at interest me: Flight on the Zero-G “Vomit Comet” to experience 8min of weightlessness for me and 33 friends: (177k) You can buyout Kennedy Space Center for private events after hours, it doesn’t list pricing but it does say 200 attendees. The Museum of Science in Boston costs 85k for 100 people, so lets double that, 170, plus some extra because its a special place. (200k) Have a massive party there, plus alcohol and food. (300k) A Virgina based company called Space Adventures has a bunch of different options for space tourism. For 20m you can spend 10 days on the International Space Station, and for an additional 15m you get a bonus 8 day and becomes the first civilian to ever walk in space. (35m) Total: 35.5m. Grand Total: 94m The remaining 6m I would spend on lavish vacations (food, excursions and accommodations, since I already paid 10m for chartered flights). Probably Fiji, Venice/Rome/Florence, Egypt, France, Patagonia, Everest/Nepal/Tibet, Antarctica, I would go back to Australia and the Philippines, plus more. I would buy rare first edition books and stock a massive library, probably commission some artwork, and Trance music from my favorite artists. Then once I had everything squared away, I would throw a party for the ages for everyone I know to celebrate having a billion dollars. Total: 100m. Grand Total: 750+b and counting… Notes: For those noticing my obvious lack of charitable donations, that would be included in my ventures budget. I would rather start my own charity and hire people I trust, and know what is going on in the charity, than give my money to someone else who might be just paying out their employees with it. Also, I realize I now have a massive amount of assets that require upkeep, management, taxes, etc, etc. But that is what The early investment blocks were for, to ensure that I had the backup to pay for these toys and expenses long term. I could easily expand on some of the ventures, businesses, savings, investments etc that I would get involve in, but there is something very therapeutic about being able to go shopping for everything you have ever wanted. Money cannot make you happy, but using money to facilitate experiences with the people around you definitely can!

What life lessons have you learnt from driving?

From the first cart-looking Benz production to its latest sleek self-driven Mercedes F 015 there was a reason and PURPOSE as to why the first was produced by man and has, over time, gotten better to become what it is today - to basically fulfil the NEED of transportation. It doesn't matter if the production is a truck, tanker, tipper, tractor or a sleek drop-top. They all have their specific purpose whether for moving humans, garbage, or liquid and other goods. There was a need the MANUFACTURER was trying to meet which all started from his thought and no matter how beautiful a car is and what purpose it serves, if it is not driven to fulfill its purpose it is as good as not being a produced. And if it crashes out before it's time of service is over, SCRAP! From the first naked man God created to the present day man looking sleek in fancy clothes there was a reason and purpose as to why God thought to create man and watch him evolve over time to who he is today - to carry out an ASSIGNMENT in our passing through earth before our expected end. It doesn't matter who you are - male or female, boy or girl, adult or child, fat or slim. We all have our specific purposes as we move from time to eternity and there is something we carry that we must deliver before we bow out. It all started from the thought of the CREATOR. No matter how beautiful or handsome you're and how genuine your purpose, if you're not motivated to serve it or you die before your time it is a real WASTE! My sister, - Jane Keturah - tall, dark, and lovely. Spots a dimple on her left cheek when she flashes a smile with long silky hair rivering down her back. But all that don't matter because she passed in 2005 at 25. Reminds me of the beautiful 2005 Porsche Carrera GT Paul Walker crashed in - what a waste crashing out of lives race before it's time. As man is an extension of God's thought to serve a purpose, so also is car a man's thought to serve a purpose and this is the basis for my analogous lessons. God has never been closer as He left heaven to live in man as spirit and man has also left his house and enter a car to drive SOMEWHERE. What a bond between God and man! What a bond between man and machine! All for a purpose! We are in so many ways like the cars we drive. Man is a spirit, has a soul and lives in a body. A car is basically a engine, has tires/transmission and has a shell/frame. We were created and cars were manufactured. We've been bought with a price and so are the cars we drive. And from the stone age we've evolved from travelling the dusty roads to the present day asphalt as we still travel. We've come a long way from where we began and it can only get better. Thus, the inspiration to write... There's something to learn from everything we see and use around us that remind us of what and why you're alive today - to live and leave a legacy of service to humanity by the needs we meet. It will not be easy travelling this road of life but as you drive the vehicle of what you love, fuelled by the passion as your natural talents guide you to what is important in life, and the essence of it, THE great destination is inevitable! What counts as life is the productive time in the PROCESS in-between filled with the hurdles of life to be overcome in all the turns we take. Are you ready to take a ride as we start 1 February, 2017? I hope we all learn a thing or two from driving. Hop in and fasten your seatbelts. Let's go! From the way people talk, walk, knock and close the door to how they drive ( If they do) it gives me clues to who they are and how they do things...really. No two cars have same chassis number. That is how unique you are also. You may come from same family but you are not your father. Because your engine is behind doesn't mean you are going that way or would get there last. # 1 "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward" - Martin Luther King Jr. A car is designed to move and will rot and rust if it doesn't. Same with a house that is not in use and left to itself - it will eventually collapse. They are two important days in the lifespan of a car - the day it was manufactured and the day it finally touches the road to fulfilling it's use. But how can it be operated without its manual? Every car needs fuel, oil and a good warm to get ready for take off. Don't just stand there and admire a beautiful car because it is not going to drive itself. Take it out there and whip it! And how about a map and GPS to guide you to where you are going? Life starts the day you know your purpose and start on that road to accomplish it. You were designed to move and make things happen but when you don't, you're at the mercy of your environment and the condition around you. There's a manual the creator has inspired men to write - the Bible - coupled with the inner guide or GPS called the Holy Spirit to guide you in all your ways, show you where you are, where you are supposed to be & how you're designed to function. Keep it charged! Martin Luther King Jr only finished a race his father started. You cannot keep talking and warming up. It's time to get out there and make it happen! Don't just stand there and admire your dream anymore. Get on it and ignite that big dream in confidence and with a fuel of passion. Confidence is key. Confidence is self-faith. Believe yourself that you can do it and let go of everything braking your forward movement as you take a step of faith onto that pedal that gets the engine grinding while steering your wheels in the direction you want to see your dream go. Trust that every rev of effort will get you closer to your destination as you move without looking back. Nobody promised it would be easy - from the rough starts to the glitches, jerks and screeches, you may be booed and called a spoof but stay on course with the destination in mind. You'll get there! #2 "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." - Jesus Christ. In other words no one who puts his hand to the steering to drive and looks back is fit for a driver. Now, you know what car you've got and have decided how far you're willing to take it. Decide also what lane you will be on as you switch gears. You may reroute if need be and if you feel like you need more practice for perfection, go round the field again and again before you hit the road - for you and the car - for there's no sorrier sight than a bad driver with a good car or a great driver with a bad one. Once you hit that road, you don't look back! The side and rearview MIRRORS are just but a reflection of what is behind. For anytime you look back, you loose grounds or worse remain stagnant by turning a 'pillar of salt' to be used as a reference point by the wayside. You now know what your purpose is and have decided how far you're willing to go for it. Decide also your speed of execution as you plan to achieve it while making room for improvement. Meditate on it and try it out practically both to refine yourself and the plan because there's no going back on purpose. For Inasmuch as that is, a good dream/plan can have a bad execution and a good executor can get planning wrong. Be the best in your field of purpose! You may make mistakes as you strive for perfection on that road but decide to forget every hurtful past and pain when you REFLECT. Whatever you do, don't dwell on it and choke yourself with fumes of regret and anything that will keep you stagnant. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a step; take it and keep moving forward! #3 Bad attitude is like a flat tire; you can't go far in life until you change it. I mentioned before that a car is basically an engine with transmission/tires and and has a frame/shell/body. Everything else is just a plus for comfort. Whether a bicycle, tricycle, a regular car on four wheels or an 18-wheeler truck, without air, it ain't going far even if it moves. A regular car with 4 tires may have air in 3 but if 1 tire gets deflated, it slows down the car and makes movement hard. If you don't have a spare tire to replace it you will grind your wheels! Man is a spirit has a soul and lives in a body. No matter how spirit-filled and beautiful you are, without a soul, you're just a desperately wicked being. The soul is the seat of the mind, will, emotions and conscience housed in our 'hearts'. This is where your true essence is. That is why you have to guard your 'heart' with all diligence for from here ISSUES OF LIFE emanate. Four basic things you must have seated deep in you are ATTITUDE, CHARACTER, BEHAVIOUR AND HABIT. They are like the four tires of a car. No matter how good at what you do if you don't possess these in some combination people cannot stand you! God himself hates pride and resists it! Without a good character you'll damage your integrity. Be willing to change for the better. Be steered to action with courage and be pumped up with a consistent habitual attitude of gratitude as these and more are the AIR that pump the 4 'tires' above. Replace every swollen tire of pride and deflated tires of self-pity, timidity, fear and inaction! Be a 4-wheel-drive and you'll climb the highest and most rugged places others can't reach! #4 Can a fish climb a tree? Vehicles are manufactured for different purposes which determines what their primary assignments with be. Some for luxury, family use, garbage, some for transporting liquid, some for racing etc. And for such purpose every vehicle is equipped to do its job which makes each one UNIQUE in design, shape, size, weight, and even in the number of tires it posseses. The number of tires doesn't guarantee speed and that is why you shouldn't race an 18-wheeler against a mustang! A mustang can travel faster but cannot pull weight or carry goods the truck can carry. You may not be built to do same tasks the way others have been built. You may even be intimidated by what you see they have and what you think you lack but you can do something they also cannot do. What you possess is enough for you to get started. They may look like they have the advantage but you may in the end get there first. Some have speed to get there first, others have CAPACITY to pull weights. There are times it's good to shed every weight holding you back - procrastination, unforgiveness, envy, jealousy etc. Don't let nothing drag you down! You are unique! #5 In the end it will not be the years in your life that counts but the life in your years - Abraham Lincoln. When you've got a full tank you're tempted to go anywhere and everywhere until the pointer is almost on reserve before you choose carefully where is really important. Some have run their maximum mileage before they decide and prioritize their journeys. Let the mileage be a positive impact. Is it not how far but how well. When you're young fit and full of energy you will be tempted to be everywhere and in places that don't add value to you in any way. It takes discipline to restrain yourself. Everything is permissible but not everything is profitable. Passion and multi-talents. Choose and set your priorities. #6 Left-hand drive or right? Driving in US or UK? Manual or automatic? Can you drive in any setting wherever the steering is & wherever the road leads? Most of the fastest cars in the world have manual transmission and that puts you in charge. Are you so used to an automatic? Moving to another city/country?Learning a new language? Changing jobs? What are you used to doing? Are you developing skills for the future if change is to happen? Adapt to the setting you find yourself. Checkout of autopilot mode and do things differently! How fluid are you to improvise, adapt, overcome? Unlearn, learn and relearn. #7 If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together - African Proverb. Any Formula 1 race car will beat a VW Beetle anytime but the Beetle has extra seats. How many people are with you in the the car when you are driving? By design the car has buttons where you can adjust your seat not just for your comfort but that of the person behind you. Race cars have just a seat. Fast cars have 2 seats. Family cars have 4(+) seats. Transit buses have 14(+). What's the capacity you drive? What's your capacity to accommodate, tolerate, forgive, improve? Give people a chance. You may have to pull some weight sometimes not because it's weight but because you have the capacity. Create room; even for yourself, there is room for improvement. Just as trains have coaches, train/coach and pull someone along. Fast & Furious franchise ain't really about speed like it is about FAMILY. We can choose anything else in life except the family we are/were born into. Take care of your own and they will take care of you. #8 A road grader that wants to race doesn't know it's purpose but the day it finds out what it was really made for, it makes it not only easier for itself but other cars. If you are a bulldozer/grader will you pave way for others if you can't get there fast? There are times when purpose doesn't look like purpose at first because it doesn't seem like it's about you. The people who set the stage most times don't play on it! They just pave way for others and get recognition later. It takes sacrifice and maturity to do that. Albert Fantrau is said to be Christiano Ronaldo's friend and former teammate way back who sacrificed his own football career so that he(Ronaldo) could become a global football icon. Today, he is said to reap that reward in folds! Can you sacrifice for someone if you know paving way for that person is a selfless RISK worth taking? #9 If you don't build your dream someone will hire you to help build theirs - Tony Gaskins Jr. You are either on the wheel or somebody/something else is. There will be times you may not have a car and you have to hike, there may be times you have to drive a taxi or your boss, there may also be times you have a car to get you started but not your ideal type. Keep changing, switching and upgrading till you get the one you want. When you don't have a dream to live out then you're potentially for hire. It could be that you are helping to build someone's dream right now but don't want to settle for less and in building theirs you prepare to handle yours. You may change jobs or careers till you hit what you want but wherever you find yourself and you've got a chance to go for something better, do it. Don't let anything deter you from getting a better deal. Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else’s dogma - Steve Jobs #10 Frida Polli said – your success will be determined by how well you can overcome hardship. A snorkel can improve engine performance while minimising the amount of water that gets to the air filter during wading and fording. Not every car was built or meant for the regular road. Some are built to handle rugged and off-road experience. And when such cars go in and out of deep waters and mud, they leave bold trails behind them to show others that it can be done. What you filter and listen to or tell yourself will determine if you can pass through deep waters and make it or not. Increase your faith and doubt will disappear. Because others may have been there and couldn't go it or endure it doesn't mean you can't. Don’t let anything get to you. YOU CAN! Keep your head up and you will make it through the wading water. And when you do, you become a living testimony for others to follow. So, how daring and enduring are you? #11 When you know where you want to go but don't know how to get there, you can follow someone who does or has been there before. There may be ditches the person cannot avoid and in the process, you go in too because you're following too closely. Give a braking distance in-between as you follow because every unique driver has their imperfection; not forgetting roads are at one time or the other under construction or maintenance. You can see something they are not seeing and avoid it. Even road marshalls get involved in accidents. Mentors are there to guide you to your full potentials. But before they are mentors, they are humans and have their own imperfections. Give them their needed space to avoid contempt which may cause you not to get 'the message'! Get the message before you 'kill’ the messenger. Not every coach is a player and not every driving instructor may be a good one but follow their instructions. Follow with caution and 'overtake’ if you 'see’ better because they can learn from you on the road to perfection too. Horn before overtaking. #12 Madness is doing same thing over and over again, expecting to have different results. No matter how big or small, long or short a vehicle is, the steering is what gives it direction during movement. It has direct connection to the wheels and transmission. You turn left or right, decide to go round and round, or go backwards or forward. It determines which road the vehicle goes. The human will determines whether ‘it’ will be or not. You alone have control over it. Not even God tampers with it. Nobody can force you to do anything against your will. You decide what you want. Steer away from the past to the future you want. From the way most people drive you can tell their level of patience and speed of decision-making. Take charge of your life and destiny. Some steering have led to civilization while others are heading for extinction. Where are you going? Decide to live because you've been given the power to choose between life and death. #13 Some accidents are caused due to assumption. Others are due to distraction. Others dues to ego. “I thought he saw me”,”that car came out of nowhere…” And the middle of the road is the most dangerous place to be. Because you were involved in an accident or witnessed one doesn't mean you stop going. When there's an accident people will be around for different reasons - to help, help themselves with valuables, stand aloof, or just pass by. When things happen to you people will be around you to either help you, be around to use that as opportunity to do something selfish, standby and watch if you make it or know about it and do nothing. When you do recover, cut your losses and move on. To avoid accidents never assume before you do things. Decide and don't be distracted. Indecision is also a decision itself. #14 Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. Drift like there's no tomorrow. Junket and jaunt. Travel the world and seven seas. You can't tell your limits until you have tried. Veer off the roads into the woods, go camping, drive non-stop in the deserts, travel in the open fields with the top down and feel the breeze on your face. And when it's time, tie cans to that car on your wedding day. This is LIFE. You only live once. There is no second take at it. Don't get boxed up in one corner all your life. Travel anytime you have the opportunity to and keep your mind open for opportunities on your way. Learn more, love hard, live free. Express yourself. I didn't really realise how much I loved my parents until I lost my dad then I started paying love attention to my mum. #15 You will knock your engine if you don't have water in your radiator and gauged engine oil. A cup of water can save your engine from knocking. You don't open a the radiator when it is hot. Keep your temper in check and consciously extend your ‘boiling point’ as you cushion misunderstanding with tolerance. If it lies with you don't pick, give or take offence. A moment of calm and a conscious refusal to reply could save the situation. Keep your mouth shut if you know you'll burst out words you would later regret. #16 It takes some experience (personal and second hand) to drive at night, in the rain, during a storm, foggy weather, flood, snow, sand etc and other conditions that are not the usual. When the elements seem not to be on your side or when a ‘suddenly’ happens what do you do? Should you go faster or slower, should you stop or not? ... On a rainy day when your wiper stops working and you have to go out would you know what to do with hydraulic fluid? You will never live as long to taste all of life's experiences first-hand. But you can learn from others and get wisdom before any of such ever happens to you. What do you do when a situation arises? Know it forehand. Feel free to ask about what you don't know. And when you know and you find yourself in the darkest of snowy nights when it's slippery, you will 'see' well and shine on. You may not see all the way but go all the way you see. Shine your way to the future you see. #17 When driving at night toward a stronger beam and yours is full too, you may have to beam down and even slow down to see better. There are times you will argue and have different opinions. It doesn't always mean you are wrong. It just means you have different opinions. My going may be your coming and vice versa. #18 It is always good to keep your shocks in excellent condition. They are there to absorb vibrations and shocks and keep the car's tyres in permanent contact with the road, providing optimum grip and stability when cornering and braking. Shock absorbers are part of the suspension, so if the shocks are worn, the vehicle's ride and comfort is compromised especially when the car is passing through rough roads or making hard turns. Events and people will happen in life that will shake you up. It may not mean that they are bad people or events either. But in the end they all bring maturity and a tough skin for things that hurt. Don't resist the shock. Absorb it and let it go. Don't let it affect your tires of ATTITUDE, CHARACTER, BEHAVIOR & HABITS. When iron is heated it doesn't shrink but expands. There is no movement until rubber meets road with some friction - this is where the true test lies. Whatever you're going through is just to expand your capacity to handle more. Trust the process and develop emotional stability. #19 Don't judge a book by it's cover. Ideally, good cars are judged by what is under the hood and it's performance before the body but it's vice versa in most cases. Don't always judge a car by it's looks - the dents, marks, dull paint. You may not appreciate it until you're told it has climbed Mt. Everest. Some cars are jested for the way the body looks until the rev is heard. What's a beautiful car without a sound engine anyway? The ugliest of cars are usually the most rugged of cars. Some people reserve their judgement and body-shaming only when they know how sound you are. People judge you mostly by what you wear and your looks before they want to know what you've got. Stephen Hawking has survived all these years against all odds. Be confident about who you are and what you carry! #20 A wedge… very small but effective in its purpose of holding in place a vehicle from rolling away when there's a repair, a flat, a change going on, on transit when being carried on a bigger vehicle. And in some cases a car might need to be towed and parked in a friend's garage. It doesn't matter how much or how small a help or support is in times of need. The help you give or you're given - it may be little but what matters most is the gesture and the motive behind it. From changing jobs to changing apartments or whatever move you're making at a time, when you need it, ask for help. There are times you may find yourself crashing on friend's couches and basements. Be grateful you've got help - to give or get. #21 Like the scenario of two men & a glass of water - one sees a half full glass, the other sees a half empty glass. Two different drivers, same car. One drives it going, another drives it coming back. One complains about the car, the other doesn't. One sees a half-filled tank while the other thinks it's half-empty. Eventually, different cars were given to each one again. One wishes there are things in the old car the new one should have, the other sees things the old car doesn't have. How do you view a situation? When you say you've moved on do you look back to see what the new doesn't have? You will not see the opportunities if you don't focus on the new one. The problem is not really the problem but how we see the problem is the problem. How do you see the challenges thrown to you? Perspective matters. #22 On this trips, there will be roadblocks, turnpikes, hold ups, flats, jerks, street lights that don't work etc before the last bus stop. There are also road signs to warn you and keep you in check. There are trips you will have to make alone. There are times you won't feel like it and almost quit. You may see delays as time waters and they may come in form of sickness and poverty and the likes. Look for the seed of good in everyone of such situation and develop patience in overcoming. Don't fret and don't stop. #23 What makes a classic a classic? Many cars have been manufactured, many are scrap now. Many cars are coming up and until a car is worthy of its place in service, it may be REPLACED, turned to a regular or worse, scrapped. Long service means specific quality fuel to work. You can't use premium motor spirit for a diesel engine. Your passion fuels the inner drive to deliver quality service. Your PLACE of service and quality of service will determine your position after ‘active’ service. What drives you? We all have different passions for different purposes. When you don't deliver you can be replaced! You can't serve the queen and be a regular! Be careful also of what enters you. When you are fueled by the wrong passion you will definitely knock your engine. Be driven by the right passion. #24 Jumper cables… always a lifesaver when needed by you or someone else. They're quite necessary as you never can tell when you may have a battery drain and you may need to start. As iron sharpens iron, battery charges battery. You can't connect cables with your hood closed. Be open. To get help or motivation at times you need to be open and ready to connect with brains that can give you the push/charge. Most lasting transformative change began this way. You may not meet them in person but the PEOPLE/friends you meet/hang around and BOOKS you read matter. They keep you motivated when you're drained! Connect to positive minds #25 There are times we get lost because we don't have a map or GPS to guide us on the road and we wander far from where we are meant to be or go. Every road is connected to another. No matter how wrong you've gone in the wrong direction there's always a turn ahead to make and get you back on track. The spirit in us is our guide only if we can follow it as it directs us. Where your journey ends, another's begin. #26 Lewis Hamilton - failed driving tests, closed circuit driver, black, controls are at hand. We all handle ours differently. Lewis Hamilton - One of the finest closed circuit drivers in history racing for McLaren. He is the Tiger Woods of racing and driving (on the tracks). But it will shock you to know that he has failed to pass driving tests to get a license about 31 times and was at a point issued honorary driver's license by the British government! The best is not always the best in every situation. We all have our tracks to run in life. We all have different situations that we find ourselves in and have to tackle them as individuals instead of looking at how Mr A did his. You can't win by looking at the other person. It's only a race if you decide it is. Run your race on your track your way. Be the best of you because even the best have their weaknesses. #27 There's a path that appears to be right... The roads we all drive on have names. Some are tarred, some are not. Some have potholes while others don't. Some are boulevards, some are highways, some are streets, some are Cul de sac but they all lead somewhere. What road are you on? Is it yours or someone else's? Does your road have a name? Will you be worthy of history books? Can it be found on the map to direct someone how to get somewhere? Chart your course and write your own history. You're the captain of your soul; the driver of your dreams. Are you on the right road? Where does it lead? Will you be remembered for charting a path? #28 A vehicle will always need servicing and oil change once in a while. No matter how dirty a vehicle is, it can always be washed. No matter how scratched it is, it can be detailed. No matter how damaged, rusty or beyond repair the car may seem, there is always a hope when the manufacturer handles it. The car was bought at a cost and something can always be done when insurance covers the damages. Check your documents and see all the insurance covers. No matter how shattered and bend-beyond-repair you think your life is, the creator can fix it. You've been bought with a price and that is your Insurance and an assurance of afterlife. Jesus is the propitiation and has paid in full for all damages. Your creator is not done with you until your purpose is fulfilled. Be maxed out before you take a bow… You can rev all you want but if you're not on gear you ain't going nowhere. You can talk all you want but if you're not engaged you ain't doing nothing. © 2017 NeuroKing's Analogies (Full book coming soon)
