At work, I use a program which requires a password.  If I enter the wrong password too many times, I get the access denied message.  Sound familiar?

There are limits to how “risky” we can be before it catches up to us.  Once when I was moving, I talked to the moving team’s foreman about the heavy items.  He said years ago, he had one man on his team that would keep lifting heavy items by himself.  He did this for years before it caught up with him.  It didn’t happen all at once, but after a while he reached his physical limit.  Maybe we can get away with it for a while, or do it on rare occasions, but do something unsafe too often and it will catch up and take a toll.  It’s always better the more we can…
