Security put simply, is the protection from harm. It applies to any vulnerable and valuable asset, such as a person, dwelling, community, item, nation, or organization.
To be sincere, security is everybody’s concern, but your security is primarily your responsibility.
Should you find yourself in any of these security threatening situations, these important security tips from an unknown source would help you a great deal.
What should a woman do if she finds herself alone in the company of a strange male as she prepares to enter a lift in a High Rise apartment late at night?
Experts Say: Enter the lift. If you need to reach the 13th floor, press all the buttons up to your destination. No one will dare attack you in a lift that stops on every floor.
What to do if a stranger tries to attack you when you are alone in your house, run into the kitchen.
Experts Say: You alone know where the chili powder and turmeric are kept. And where the knives and plates are. All these can be turned into deadly weapons. If nothing else, start throwing plates and utensils all over. Let them break. Scream. Remember that noise is the greatest enemy of a molester. He does not want to be caught.
Taking an Auto or Taxi at Night.
Experts Say: Before getting into an auto at night, note down its registration number. Then use the mobile to call your family or friend and pass on the details to them in the language the driver understands. Even if no one answers your call, pretend you are in a conversation. The driver now knows someone has his details and he will be in serious trouble if anything goes wrong. He is now bound to take you home safe and sound. A potential attacker is now your de facto protector.
What if the driver turns into a street he is not supposed to and you feel you are entering a danger zone?
Experts Say: Use the handle of your purse or your stole (dupatta) to wrap around his neck and pull him back. Within seconds, he will feel choked and helpless. In case you don’t have a purse or stole just pull him back by his collar. The top button of his shirt would then do the same trick.
If you are stalked at night.
Expert Say: enter a shop or a house and explain your predicament. If it is night and shops are not open, go inside an ATM box. ATM centers always have close circuit television. Fearing identification, no one will dare attack you.
After all, being mentally alert is the greatest weapon you can ever have.

Another point to note: most of them are contract staff and you can hardly distinguish btw a full staff and a contract staff. The contract staff are not entitled to a lot of insentives so pls give them a break

our 20s are a time of discovery. You figure out who you are, what you want, and how to make it happen.

The habits you establish during this time tend to stick and become the foundation of your adult life — so you'll want to build good ones.

We've sorted through a variety of advice from entrepreneurs, academics, and media influencers and found several recurring themes.

Here are some of the habits everyone should master early on to set themselves up for a lifetime of success.

Keep Learning.

"Shark Tank" investor and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban became a billionaire in the tech industry, despite never formally studying computer science. It's why he says the best lesson he learned in his 20s was that "with time and effort I could learn any new technology that was released."

It's not a boast, but rather a message that if you want to have a successful, enriching career, you're going to need to make a habit of dedicating time and effort to acquiring knowledge that gives you an advantage.

Cuban explains that college is the time you pay to learn, but "now that you have graduated, it's your chance to get paid to learn. And what if you aren't a recent college grad? The same logic applies. It is time to get paid to learn."

Take measured risks.

"With no family to feed and no dependents counting on you, your 20s are without a doubt the years to take a leap and pursue your passion," says Jessie Goldenberg, who abandoned a promising media career shortly after college to start her own business, the successful mobile fashion boutique Nomad.

Of course, taking risks to the point of being reckless is as bad or worse a habit than suppressing ambition. Tim Ferriss, author of "The 4-Hour Workweek" recommends a simple exercise for weighing risk:

1. Fold a piece of paper into three columns.

2. In the first column, write down all of the things that could go wrong should your attempt fail. Think of the most terrible things possible.

3. In the second column, determine ways that you can mitigate the possibility of each of those bad consequences from happening.

4. In the third column, think of how you would recover from each of the scenarios you imagined and wrote in the first column.

Associate with those who make you better.

LinkedIn founder and chairman Reid Hoffman is one of the most well-connected people in Silicon Valley.

Tech entrepreneur and author Ben Casnocha has worked closely with LinkedIn founder and chairman Reid Hoffman for several years and writes that the greatest lesson Hoffman taught him was "that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time around. You really are the company you keep."

There's no need for maintaining toxic personal or professional relationships out of loyalty.

"If you really want to reach your highest potential you have to consistently surround yourself with people who challenge you, who are strong where you are weak, and work just as hard or harder than you do," says Beth Doane, founder of Raintees.

Learn from every failure.

Once your emotional reaction subsides, analyze what went wrong.

"Listening is like programming a computer," author and investor James Altucher writes. "You take stuff in, you process it, you spit life back. Learning is different. It shatters your life."

No matter what your financial, intellectual, and moral circumstances are, you will make terrible mistakes and have to deal with unexpected and unfair challenges. That aspect of life is largely out of your control, but you are always in control of how your perceive those mistakes.

"Just relax," Altucher says. "Those things are going to happen. Enjoy them. You can't avoid them. These are opportunities to learn. That's your only goal."

Build meaningful professional relationships.

Influencers founder Jon Levy has created a professional network that includes Nobel laureates, Grammy winners, and Olympic medalists.

And on that note, don't develop a habit of going to so-called networking events and blindly tossing out and collecting business cards with the hope that someone will get back in touch and help you out.

Always take an opportunity to meet someone interesting and talented, and prioritize personality over perceived usefulness, says Jon Levy, founder of the Influencers. "It's adding diversity to your network that truly helps it. The reason is, every time you add an additional person that's in your industry, you're not expanding your network very much because you all probably know the same people," he says.

He recommends taking Wharton professor Adam Grant's advice. As Grant told Business Insider last year: "If you're a giver, then you build quality relationships, and with those relationships you're exposed to opportunity over the long term. You actually increase your own luck so far as you contribute things to other people."

Save and invest for the future.

Use the power of compound interest.

It's essential to develop healthy personal-finance habits, and the earlier the better.

Consider taking a portion of your paycheck and putting it into an emergency savings fund, a stash of money you don't touch until you absolutely need it. A good goal to start working toward is accumulating the equivalent of three months' salary, says certified financial planner Jonathan Meaney.

And as Business Insider's Sam Ro points out, it's best to start taking advantage of compound interest in your retirement savings as early as possible. Take advantage of your employer's 401k plan if one is available, and consider investing in low-cost index funds.

Take care of your health.

You'll need to increasingly focus on your health as you get older, even when you're still relatively young.

A common theme among Quora users discussing life lessons is wishing they'd shed the bad eating and drinking habits of their youth and developed a fitness regimen before the physical limitations of growing older began to set in.

"Your hangovers will be so bad at 28 that the idea of staying out drinking all night will be a hilarious idea to you," musician Meggie Sutherland Cutter writes on Quora. Choose an hour at the gym over a happy hour every now and then.

Love what you do.

Steve Jobs gave a powerful commencement address at Stanford in 2005.

The late Apple cofounder and CEO Steve Jobs gave one of the most memorable commencement speeches ever from a podium at Stanford in 2005 a year after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life," he said.

Jobs said this mindset will make you understand the importance of your work. "And the only way to do great work is to love what you do," he said. "If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."

Settling means giving in to someone else's vision of your life, or the pressure to prioritize salary above all else. "Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition," Jobs said.

Keep work from overtaking your personal life.

Arianna Huffington is a proponent of keeping happiness as the main definition of what it means to be successful.

As you strive to make something of yourself in your 20s, don't develop a habit of ignoring your personal life.

"If I could go back in time, I'd introduce my 22-year-old self to a quotation by the writer Brian Andreas: 'Everything changed the day she figured out there was exactly enough time for the important things in her life,'" Huffington Post cofounder Arianna Huffington writes on LinkedIn.

Huffington says that advice would have saved her from the "perpetually harried, stressed-out existence I experienced for so long."

Learn when to take a step back from everything and appreciate what you've accomplished and what you already have. And if you are obsessed with your work — whether or not you love it — understand that you will actually be making yourself more productive by allowing yourself to enjoy life.
