Drinking
can make a king act as a fool and irresponsibly. If you want to be a king in
your own world, abstain from drinking! Some say drink in moderation but most people
do not know their limit and the sad thing about drinking is that it has a side
effect on ones health and the disgraceful thing about it is that when you get
drunk, you are likely to behave worst than this teenager in the story below.
For your
dreams to come true, do not involve yourself in acts that are irresponsible or
that can wreck your life or that of your neighbour.
This is
the time to work on yourself so that you would not end up in regrets. There is
a beautiful part to life when people begin to live right and engage in doing
the right things (affecting other lives positively).
You are
created to be like God, God is our heavenly father and He does the right things.
Begin to act like your father today and live responsibly so that your
neighbours can be affected positively.
Read the
story and imagine how different it would have been for the two lives had this
teenager not got drunk before driving.

Lauren Blanning’s ‘stupidity’ wrecked Stephen
Isaacs’ life, Judge Michael Roach said (Picture: SWNS)
A judge
lamented the ‘stupidity’ of a young motorist who left a man without the
use of his legs after downing a bottle of rosé and getting behind the wheel of
her car.
Lauren
Blanning, 19, was almost twice the legal drink-drive limit when she
drove a group of friends home from a party, pulling into the path of
motorcyclist Stephen Isaacs, 49, who was thrown more than 60 feet down the road
by the impact.
And Judge
Michael Roach, sentencing, said Blanning’s ‘stupidity’ had wrecked the
life of Mr Isaacs, who has been in hospital for almost a year with severe
pelvic injuries.

‘You are
now before the court for something which has devastated somebody else’s life,’
said Judge Roach.
‘Nothing
I can say can restore his good health.
‘Nothing
I can say can restore anything he and others had to suffer through your
stupidity.’
Mr Isaacs
suffered severe pelvic fractures after being launched 60 feet by the
impact
Mr
Isaacs, who attended the hearing in his battery-powered wheelchair, called the
sentence ‘totally unsubstantial’ and said Blanning ‘put the tears on on cue’.
‘I think
they are crocodile tears,’ he said.
‘I think
it’s more about feeling sorry for herself.’

Blanning was driving home from the Greyhound Pub when she hit Mr Isaacs’
motorcycle (Picture: SWNS)
The court
heard how Blanning, who only passed her test three months before the incident,
had driven back from the Greyhound Pub in Fishponds, Bristol, at around 1am on
31 May 2014.
After the
crash, Blanning called her mother in ‘desperation, panic and shock’.
Mr Isaacs
was brought back to life on the operating table by ‘aggressive resuscitation’
and lost so much blood he received 60 pints in 48 hours.
