Don’t be the Arjuna in Driving
When Dronacharya put everyone at test to shoot the bird’s eye, everyone replied that they can see the bird, branch and tree, moving leaves including Duryodhana.
Arjuna who was called to shoot said he can only see the birds eye, who was later cited an example for best shooting skills and concentration.
Well, hearing this example, it is completely abnormal for us to compare with driving. But, the truth of the matter is don’t be like Arjuna and concentrate on target like bird’s eye when it comes to driving.
Driving involves the capability which Duryodhana posses, concentrating on the target and observing everything around it. Well, I am nobody to question the epic, What if Duryodhana shoots it right even after observing the surrounding like bird, branches, tree, etc..? We may not know.
To be a quality driver observe the happenings on the road, calculate and judge the happenings next. Well for the start it might be difficult, but with practice everybody can ace it.
For everyone the controls of driving should become like bow and arrow, no need to concentrate much, however required in the early days alone. Later, controls should become muscle memory and Road sense like observing everything on front sides and rear should and must become primary.
So, be the Duryodhana for driving and not Arjuna.
