Sticking to safe plans and actions (repost)

Sometimes, it's best to keep to safe plans and actions rather than taking unnecessary risks doing something you are not confident of. 

         It was a rainy day (it's only a drizzle actually :P) when I was returning back home from the university campus. I never like drizzly or rainy days, for they make you feel kinda down and spoil your mood when you are looking forward to bright and sunny days. I had to cycle back, and that was quite uncomfortable during rainy days, or in this case, a drizzly day. It is troublesome to wear the raincoat with the hoodie covering the head as when I cycle, the wind blows against me, and my face is washed(?) with rainwater. Great, helps to clean my face. And the rainwater droplets on my glasses limit my vision. Frowning upon the weather, I made a risky decision: instead of using the raincoat, I planned to cycle with one hand controlling the bike handle and the other holding an umbrella.
                                                              
         The thing is, I've never tried doing something like that before. I couldn't balance myself properly yet with one hand on the handle but then, I launched the idea without thinking much of the consequences. At first, it was all okay...I managed to balance myself fairly. The trouble started when I was approaching the corner of a junction. I knew that I don't have that much ability to be able to turn left smoothly with only a hand on the handle. While I was thinking of my next course of action, my body unconsciously drove my bike to turn left and I went off-balanced and fell almost in the middle of the road. Thank goodness no car or motorcycle happened to pass by, if not it would be a double accident.

         In the end, I got myself unnecessarily hurt on the way back. Gosh, that was the third time I've hurt myself due to incidents associated with my bike. Maybe my bike hates me. * sobs* The only good thing was I managed to keep myself dry from the rain(drizzle...). Coming to think of it, my act seemed to be unworthy after all...

I guess I would not pull that act again until I know how to perfectly balance myself on the bike with one hand controlling the handle...
