Day 19 – Don’t Rush the Ladder
Akua was behind schedule at the warehouse.
To make up for lost time, she skipped the usual checks and climbed the ladder quickly — two steps at a time.
It wobbled.
She slipped.
She fell from just under 3 meters — but fractured her ankle and dislocated her shoulder.
That one fall kept her out of work for 7 weeks.
Ladders don’t forgive haste.
They demand balance, stability, and presence.
Before climbing:
Inspect for damage.
Set it on level ground.
Ensure it’s fully opened and locked.
Never rush. Never overreach.
Your next step should never be your last. Climb with caution.
